More testing to come but so far I'm impressed. Seems to have the flat water speed and ability to pick up lifts and runs as my precious Ace but with the bonus of being able to move freely about the deck.

Going to be some amazing skinny little boards on the water this year with new Ace, All Star and of course the Fanatics. Many more I'm sure can be listed but not on the skinny end of the spectrum.

Which will be fastest? I don't know but probably with a bit of luck the best paddler will still win. Choice might come done to versatility.

Sam.
