Have had a couple of sessions on the board now. Its so much fun on the wave. Feels smaller than it is. It wants a proper wave to excel. Even in light winds it pumps onto the wave well and runs down the line with speed.
When the wind is dead onshore and waves disorganised and mushy i think a longer plan shape would provide a bit more flexibility.
When its clean though. Even if small its a lot of fun.
Dont shoot the messenger 515. My wife takes photos on her phone from wherever she puts her towel. Super light today. 10 knots. Small waves. Only kites out.
