Russ, I think you should try a twinny. I've heard people saying they're only good in side shore conditions, if that's the case then I'd try another brand because my twinny rips in side shore and onshore slop... very loose and slashy on backhanders! I love it. I was originally going to keep my single fin for onshore conditions, but after about the second sail on my twin I decided I'd have no use for a single.

Hey Gunna,
Is 'night sky' aka starboard?
Ahh rumours... you've gotta love 'em!
All I can say is the new board/s took me by surprise! Hanging out for mine to arrive in a few weeks time.

Looks like RRD are going with a twin and a trifin for 2010. There's so much development in board design going on now it's awesome.
We've seen fine tuning of boards for so long it's not funny. No matter what 'your' brand is, you have to love seeing the development of the equipment across the board.
I reckon the current level of development in waveboard design is up there with the 'widestyle' boards and full headed sail developments of the mid and late '90s.
Singles, Twins, Tri-fins, Quads...and that's without any other alternative's which haven't surfaced yet.
It's a sensational era to be a wavesailor!

Ahh another doubter!
Here's my question to you. Have you ridden one Silly question, because it's obvious you haven't. I'm not sure of your windsurfing history, I know you've been around for a long (long)time, but not sure what sort of boards you've ridden in the past.
As for me, I've been riding wave boards since 'Greg Frost' boards were 'the' board to ride. I had a short wide tri-fin that was about 7'10" in the mid eighties. Then a Jump City trifin, then Windforce, etc, etc, etc
So I've seen and experienced all the changes and yes there have been wide and short boards with muliple fins in the past, but to compare them to what we're experiencing now is like comparing my mother-in-law to Amanda Kerr!
My advice to anyone who is under the impression that these boards are a marketing ploy is to try one and then make your judgement.
It's a pity I didn't keep my old boards, then we could put them side by side and kill off the 'rehash' idea permanently.
There's a demo twin in Glascraft, take it out anytime. You will be a convert...like everyone else who's tried them. I'm not being brand specific here, try any brand. You will love the new wave of boards.
Are you sure you're not bitter that the wave boards are getting all the attention and not the flat water gear?

Yeah you're right Muzza sick of these wave boards
I would like to know why anyone living in Adelaide would even think of owning a wave board? the only wave i've seen down there is when people are waving goodbye to each other
