Just had my first day out on the 795. Been riding the old non+ 72 primarily (added the A+hole); SUP surf. Currently MA1225/60(old style)/205 on a Kalama E3 DW SUP. 5'8" 165# balding greying dude at my half-life about a year into my progression; guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of a hundred sessions.
The MA's are definitely a step up, and I saw an immediate benefit over the HS/HA and chopped V tail (on a 70 A+fuse).
The mast, we'll see, it may be the placebo effect, but I definitely felt like it was another step up for me. Some of the drops and turns that I'd feel some 'wonkiness' on in similar conditions previously were not present. it was just solid.
I assumed it was always me not being good enough, but maybe it actually was the gear adding that bit of flex that would then throw me off balance. Also noticed it in the choppy conditions the undercurrent which I'd previously feel flex, was more just a push if that makes sense
Length was good; added few inches saved a breach or two; and didn't have any bottoming out like I would with my 85 mast (stopped riding because of it at my normal spot).
Overall strong first impression.
I'll update as I get some more time on it. But right now I have a smile on my face. Cheers,
