This is a full-on, go-fast speed board. I used this board to place third at the 2009 world championships in Karpathos. It has a flat nose rolling into an accelerated V towards the tail. The V acts to lift the board out of the water to ensure a perfect board angle to the chop. I kept a good amount of tuck in the rails as I wanted the board to perform as well in choppy conditions as in flat since you normally have to deal with a chop while speed-sailing.
