Re: new f2 formula board

Is it any lighter than last years heavy one.

And what about the cutout. I've understood that they still have them adjustable, have you tested to differnece between up and down and away ?

Re: new f2 formula board

yes is a bit ligther than last year but the mayor advantage is that it is more powefull on the tail so will make you go higther Upwind. also adjustables cutouts are there for better trim depending on sailors taste,they do a good job to set a better trim. Also the board is shorer so it feels really lose downwind. so far the best formula board this year.

Re: new f2 formula board

Which other brands have you tried, Starboard, ML....
Had problems to get the F2 going last year, worst season ever in formula, been with starboard before. Perhaps the F2 was too technical, sometimes it felt good but in the next start it was a catastrofe.
But you comments sounds encouraging can't wait until I'll get mine with North-07

Re: new f2 formula board

Looking at regatta gallery I see that SB boards lays flat on the water surface, F2 tries to rise the nose and aren't stable. Riders are fighting their boards. What is real feeling of F2 on the water comparing with SB161?

Re: new f2 formula board

What about fins for the F2.

I know the Kashy is top-class but what rake do you prefer - How many degrees ??

The '06 model worked well with +6 (deboichet language) and +8 for light winds. Are we talking theese degrees again.. ??

best regards
