Features:- Kevlar/ Wood/ Epoxy sandwich construction.- Twin fin design using Power box system.- Set of DaKine proformance footstraps.- New graphics. Available sizing: Madd 162, 138, 115 liters.

The review:
The pros on this Board: "Jibing, jibing, jibing." proclaimed the test team, who unanimously loved its small-board feel in the turns. Shallow-water dominator thanks to its short twin fins, which made beach starts easy and offered an autopilot ride through broadest wind range of the fleet.

The Cons: One rider found it's flat deck shape uncomfortable; two others felt it was a touch heavy and slow to plane.

favorite of both intermediates and experts for its out-of-the-box ride.

BEST SUITS: Light-wind riders looking for something different, exciting and shallow-water friendly.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS: Comfy Dakine Core Contour foot straps.
