I've got an 80 ltr isonic. I haven't used it for a few years.
Yesterday I was finding it hard starting underpowered when I had to beachstart..mud was the main issue. I didn't want to get thrown around the front so I had my front foot against the mast base. This made it very uncomfortable and harder to bear off. I felt horrible until I got a little speed,bore off and could get in the rear strap. Very tiring.
I've been having trouble getting into the rear straps as they are outboard.
Powered was easy. Lie on the bottom, push the front of the board away, rear foot in the strap ,hook in as you come up and away we go.
Front foot in as you come up.
Yep, it's about time to get rid of that board Sue. I'll give you a few $$ for it. You must be getting to old for that thing now. ?
I thought you were happy with the one you have??
It will be good for patchy conditions when it's flatter at Budgy.
I don't use it much but it's nice to have a choice of 80s.Narrow tailed RS1 for strong choppy stuff. Good to gybe if well powered. Sits down nicely and slices through the chop.
The isos bigger tail allows largersails,easier planing gybes and easier in patchy conditions .
It's bouncy in chop for me and more tiring. ?
.I wouldn't get enough for it to be worthwhile. It's got one tiny pimple sized chip in it.Otherwise as new.
You'll get 1st offer if I ever decide to sell.?
