I have Fox 95 - 105 (2024) and 120 liters.
I'm looking for a ~ 85 liters board.
Has anybody seen or tried the new coming DYNO 85?
When will it be on the market? I have read that it has changed a lot from earlier models and more wave-oriented.
John
Don't have the answers but could ring Revolution board sports and they can probably tell you.
Will you be mainly using it for waves or blasting?
Thanks for the answer.
Mainly onshore sailing, bump and jump sailing, not really wave sailing, but onshore shoppy windwaves.

John

I have Dyno V3 85l and others sizes. I sail in cross on bump and jump choppy conditions and the Dyno V3 is perfect for these conditions.
The V5 is lighter, stronger, faster, earlier to plane, higher to jump and easier to wave ride than the V1,2,3&4 or at least that's what Severne says.
But seriously the Dyno is a good board, the V5 should be as good as the previous models.
If not riding waves, I think you would find all modern freestylewave boards to be very very good.
they are all very similar and really the only point people pick on is how well it goes on waves as that is so hard to achieve with a flatter rocker.
thus you are overthinking it a bit. Given your description you would be very happy on any Dyno
or 3S or newer JP models, or RRD or etcetc
But I agree, just contact Revolution and if they feel it's a bit more wave oriented now, then maybe not for u and u save a lot of money if the older one suits u better
I frequently sail a JP FSW 85 and Tabou 3S 86 and also trialed a Dyno V4 95 earlier. There's a lot of difference between these three boards.
3S excels in lighter conditions and feels super light. It doesn't perform well when very powered up (at least in my setup/conditions). The JP is the other way around, don't like it in marginal conditions but the control when powered up even when overpowered is impressive.
JP is also considerably faster than the 3S, probably because of the flatter bottom. It's actually a really fast board and absolutely love it.
Both boards don't perform well in wave riding but that shouldn't be a surprise. Still fun for jumping and riding swell though.
The Dyno felt like a completely different board to me, admittedly it was 10 litres larger. It felt much slower and more playful so I thought it was more wave oriented although only sailed it on flat, choppy water.
I'm sure the Dyno V5 is a great board, but you might want to trial a few FSW type of boards if you can, especially if you expect it to be as fast as the Fox. Whish they produced a 85 litre version of the Fox, that would be brilliant for high wind blasting.
Thank you, all of you. I will think a lot about the new or older model,
With regards,
John
go and see Paul. one of the great things about having severne local is that they will often let you a board to try, i tried both the 95 and 105 (which for me seemed massive). I didnt go with a dyno as i just didn't get on with it but plenty of others love them hence why its so important to try them i personally prefer the fanatic stubby but all do the FSW the same way but they do feel quite different - JP tend to be quick and clattery, Tabou are nice and smooth (3S vintage is awesome for freeride and 3S + is way more playful and wavy), the quattro fsw is no surprise VERY wavy , etc etc, Goya one used to be a nice blend of both but looks like its got more wavy
We have a really good shop (the importer) in Sweden too. ;)
Most of the stuff these days will have to be pre-order though, not only for the better price but there is also very little stuff kept in stock compared to eg. 10-15 years ago.
We can now read about the new Dyno at www.severnesails.com.
I have been informed by mail from severne that the 85 liter board can handle a 5,8 sail (Ezzy).
look at the webside: Dyno 85 Sailrange: Gator 3.7-4.7 / Redback 2.5-4.7
It must be an error I hope.

Yes, they have definitely mucked it up there.
Too busy hyping up the board "The boundary between dedicated wave performance and high-speed freeride capabilities erased."
"Convert to single fin, and you have a rapid freeride board that offers that full throttle charge usually reserved for race oriented boards."
Thats just a load of bollox.
For the 95l, the one I would be most likely to buy, the max sail size is a 5.7m Gator/Convert. They dont actually make a 5.7m Convert.
My 2018 Exocet Cross 95l takes a 6.5m 2 cam freeride with a bit of wind and has enough nose lift to help it over white water/chop.
We are up to v5 of the Dyno and now they decide a bit of extra nose lift makes it easier to get out over white water, according to Simon Bornhoft in the video.
Stop the bollox Severne, unless you want to join Starboard in the fiction section. And get someone who knows to review tech details before releasing them.
ps For the 60cm wide Nano and Pyro they say 6.0m max and they are wave boards, not rapid freeride boards.
The sailfigures are just rough recommendations, and not to be taken literally. Usually they error on the other side though, i.e. give a too large sailrange and the sweetspot is always smaller than that. The Redback sails are not made in any larger sizes than the 4.7, but yes they did mess up the Gator number for the 85 liter board, a 5.3 sail should at least be fine, I guess.
Think what you are seeing is a reflection of smaller sails being paired up with bigger boards
You can use a 5.7 gator on the 85 dyno. No problem.
6.0 was certainly the upper limit and felt a bit off balance (too much sail loading the fin due to the boom length)
I have written to Severnesails.com and asked for the recommendations 1 dag ago.
I have got a answer to day from severne informing me that they have changed the sailrange and now its identic to the sailrange for the V4version.
