Does any one here owns a RRD Domingo V2 and can give a little review about this board.

Importent for me is to know: How does this board perform in Light wind, is it comparable to the lightwind capicity of a North nugget/naish fish? I want to use this board as my light wind board on flat water and wave board for small surf.

I had a Domingo v1 in wood finish and I found it rode quite heavy and sluggish - not very turny either, is quite a flat board. Ended up selling it and getting a Nugget - super lightweight by comparison, gets going really quickly, more manouverable and turns way better than you'd think given its width. Well suited for mush and weak waves.I really like it. Just my two cents worth. Cheers

Don't see much of the RRD gear here unfortunately so not much room to test. The larger of the RRD boards is the same width but it seems to have a bigger rocker so not necessarily as good or better upwind.

The RRD would definitely be suited to larger waves with the longer length and bigger rocker but if its small waves, and flat water, a nugget would do the trick.

I haven't seen many boards that can get you going in wind this light. In this video the wind was barely strong enough to keep the kite in the air (you can see the kite fall back out of the air when it was at 12) and bare in mind this is a 10m kite with a 80kg rider.
