Had my first sail on a new 2015 Tiger 5.0 after having changed from my old 2009 Panthers.

I really liked it. It's a fair bit lighter than my old 5.2 and rigs on a 400 mast. I found it powerful stable, and forgiving - suits my "off-the-fin" style of sailing.

It's more of a blasting sail than a wave sail, as it is very deep drafted. Suits me down to the ground.

Looks like you've got the tuning spot on.........
Is that a Fanatic Free Wave? What Fin?

Yep, 2007 model 86L. The fin is a Select S1, 29cm.

Nice lawn?

I try to look after it. Being so close to the beach things can get a bit sandy.

A 29 fin with a 5m sail! Too big. I'd be on a 23. Loosen up a bit IKW.

Umm, I like to actually PASS the local kiters rather than let them pass me...
