Any one know anything about these?

I had a go on an 07 5'10 and loved it way over my 5'11 SRT. It caught fatter smaller waves much ealier with more speed. I am pretty keen to find out more about the 08s particualy the 6' and how they compare to 07s and my old SRT.

Any one know?

The 08 RF range are sick. All new, super thin rail profiles. Big influence from Marty at Delta. They look like pro surfers boards. Very thin in the tails. They ride excellent, can handle great speeds, light, and controlable. A pretty big performance step from last years! Definately worth a good looking at!

I did a quick review earlier,

I am waiting for my Freestyle Fish, the new board from North for that 'most wave conditions are not perfect' board. Can't wait to get onto it, I have a faxed photo at work to keep me smiling (and from quiting work - 'incentive is important')

It has both the open hook type straps at either end, like a lip to hook your feet under, opposing each other quite a unique design, and plugs for normal straps if you want them. It is shorter and stubbier than the rocket fish.

Can't wait, big report comin soon I hope.

I am serious about ordering a 6' but jsut want to know how it compares in size (apart from length)to my SRT 5'11 and last years RF 5'10. I ride a mixture of xoff and xon and onshore wind. I find in crappy onshore conditions my srt is just to sinky on the waves unlike the 07 rf i tried. Does anyone know any more detail on these boards?
