Have just been using the 14ft race last 2 weeks in varied conditions
Aussie titles 6klm flat river racing and just sliced thru the water.
A 4klm sprint race back into a 20knt wind and out going tide and was a joy to ride the way it tracked ...so straight and smooth.
Last weekend did 5 races at Pan Pac Masters from 2klm to 12klm with 30knt winds, side chop & DW runners, in all conditions the board handled so well especially upwind into a1ft chop just sliced thru the waves and Surfing runners you had so much control.
I know somebody who owns the 12ft and will give the same wrap.
