In chop they all spray in ur face. Ive used the 2010 raptor its an awesome board u wont go wrong with it
to prevent spray remove fins bolt on some stainless steel brackets and attach a small plastic wind screen, no more spray. For extra comfort remove handle and bolt a small chair on, no more sore knees
i have a 2010 raptor too the new double concave is supposed to reduce the spray in heavy chop (which is the only time i get spray) if it does then il upgrade

My Comments: Cheers to anyone who has bought this Board and here is some info for people considering buying it.
I had trouble Whilst looking on the net for peoples opinions of this board before buying it as there seemed to be not so much info apart from what the people marketing it had to say.
I have bought this board and have had a couple decent days of use, so here is my personal opinion for anyone considering buying it.
The board is light, i have the 136X41 and compared to the cabrinha caliber I had its way lighter or well it feels it anyway.
Everyone keeps on going on about this board and the fact it does not put spray in the face, well under different conditions I am sure all boards will and this one does as well but compared to other boards I think alot less than most.
It definitely has Loads of pop and you can edge hard upwind, though I do believe in the lighter wind it takes a bit more to get cracking than some single concave boards I have owned, however you cant have it all.
This Board really does grip the water well, Crazyfly fins are fairly large and the concave I presume helps with this, infact it probably grips too well and if you like a more loose feel like say a custom has, you may not like this board for that reason.
It Absorbs hard landings very well, I stuffed up a few landing on it and compared to my Jamie and cabrinha it was fairly forgiving.
Straps are really comfortable, and fairly adjustable and the finish it really well done.
Basically I would recommend this board, I understand it is fairly expensive but Its worth it.
