The new Futura has arrived and it looks sweet.

This is the board to replace the S-type and Carve. It is wider and thinner than the previous boards and should allow sailors to use a bigger sail range on a given size board.

We have a demo for you to try, so if you are interested pop in and have a look.

Cheers

Hi Extreme 1
sorry I didn't reply ealier, haven't had much time to check here lately.

Yes we have a demo 101 and have the 111, and 122 instore as well.
We were hoping to get ours on the water this week if the weather is right. I have spoken to some guys who have already sailed the 101 and they seem very positive on the comfort and speed.
If you have the time to try it come and take it out for a run.
Cheers

Taking a F122 to Sandy Pt this wk end to demo and see how fast they go, got a 40.56 avg, 43 2sec on the Aero117, carrying a few more kgs at moment to offset the extra litres of the 122 might help.

Can vouch for the 122 Futura, used it last Wed at Sandy PT, it was a gusty NW so hardly favourable conditions with the chop. The peak 2 sec track point speeds were 37.7, 38.36, 38.36, 38.6, 39.35 off the Garmin, Navi track 2sec was 40.0!!! Doppler 39.3 .I was using the big wave fin (P.A RIP) that came with the Aero-117.

This board smashes short chop and is easy to ride which gives confidence to push harder at speed.

Its 500 was impressive too on the day just behind Slowboat.
