Sounds like fun!
First impressions of the Starboard Nuevo 92 litre twin fin?

[LeopardSkin]

Board is slow. Doesn't like to go upwind.

[C36]

Good to know.

Hey Tony,

The Nuevos are notoriously slow and the raked back stock fins and twin fin setup lend themselves well to surfy turns, not pointing. They're designed to excel on perfect waves in the Australian outback, not on chop, haha. There's a reason Ben Severne replicated the exact shape for his personal boards:



Take one out at Margaret River and you might be pleasantly surprised by how it rides
(shameless plug for Starboard)

Now... where the f#$% is the wind these days?!

[gabrielb]

wind ...
right now (2pm until dark) , Vancouver airport 14-20 knots. Tide good for Iona.
8 degree, feels like 5 degrees, flat, no waves.

Jericho now 15-20knots

and now is back to 8 knots, just thermal.

Pam Rocks has been over 30 knots most of the day and it just hit 7 degrees....... Today would've been the day to check it out.
