Hey Pete, had a couple of weeks on my OES TF78 while you have been making your way home and good news, it rips!!
Its fast and light with heaps of drive and grip through turns which really seems to make the most of any waves and not just the good side off ones. Really like the way you can choose to either break the fins out and slide across the lip or dig your heels in for a hard carve off the top.
Nice job on the new fins too, at 80 kgs they match the board real well with a great blend of speed, manouvreability and up wind performance. I think the fact that its a twin is almost second behind the fact that it is simply a great wave board.
Oh and great job on the finish too, nice work Pete
