Theres a bunch of guys over at Wakeoutlaws who are goo goo ga ga over this thing. They say its pretty awesome and my guess is that IS hit a home run with this one. They might be able to give you more details.

Rode on this last weekend. Personally, and this is just my opinion, but I didn't really like it. Mind you, I've never really liked the feel from the IS boards I have ridden. They are very different from what I know and am comfortable on. We tried at least 7 or 8 different fin setups. Some required alot more work than others to stay with the wave. My friends seemed to be enjoying them a little more on day two, but I know one of them wasn't totally convinced. I would try and demo one if at all possible and see what you think.

We had just the large two in the back/outside slots. That’s me in the first pic… I absolutely love this board! It is so quick and so responsive. I’m 225 and had no problems with weight at all, and it has tons of drive to get tons of speed. Several times I had to hit the brakes big time or I think I would have hit the boat. I look forward to trying to smaller fins, as I think I would like to break it loose a little bit more. We are going out again in the morning so we will get some better pics and post a proper review then as well.

Hey Bill, LOOKING GOOD! Don, the wake is looking dialed! Unsolicited advice: If you want to push those airs up, go with bigger, not smaller fins. I run the XLs on the outside and Tex on the inside. It takes a few runs to get use to them. I can still hit 3s and slides no problem and noticed I was getting bigger air when I moved up to the largest fin. They really hook up and hold your speed as you turn up the wake for your air. Just my .02 cents.

Thanks for the pics Donnie, that will definitely be some stoke for one of my friends. He was sticking 3's no problem, but was having problems getting air and was doubting himself. He caught it a few times, but not like he normally does. Bill, it is definitely fast, my buddies girlfriend hit the swim deck on one run. Mark, thanks for the tips! I will be passing along the fin setup info. We didn't have any XL's with us.
