I recently purchased two new AB Plus Boards....

I currently have the 54 and 59 slaloms.

After 2 weekends of sailing at safety bay I can now say they have great top end speed and pretty good control. Really nice crisp feeling. But im still **** scared when I point them down wind.

If you are chasing a very simple well built board that is guaranteed to thrill I would thoroughly recommend them.

Thats called "speed sailing" Chad.

Embrace the brown trouser

What happen with the Tabou's ?
I've got a 67(08) and 59(09) manta and these boards are truely awesome,very easy to sail fast,jibe on a dime.
Sounds like the AB's are great as well.

When you say you're scared, do you mean scary fast or you feel out of control? I demoed a couple of AB+ slaloms and I found them to be excellent off the wind, in that they / I felt very very confident charging down wind with great speeds in maiden runs.

scary fast.... but in control until you go flying off some chop.....

first time out with my new AB+ 54
gasoil slr 28 and rsr 6.2 wind 20 to 25 knts
mast track in the middle() go for it
I feel immediatly well on this board
cruising on flat +small choppy a lot of glide reach easyli good speed
try some jibes this board is a jibe machine very smooth ant the end speed is terrific
encouraged by the feeling i taste some wild downwind attack the board find a rythm on the top of the chop and delivers very fast accélérations 36.7 on foretrex 201 (my record was 34.9)
Try our chenal waves + choppy i was impressed by the way you can let the board fly
in rough conditions she always bounce on line (not sure on my english..)
so my sensations are that this board is very comfortable,sensitive and delivers a lot of pleasure and fun for speed and jibe addicts
