Has anyone who isn't a sponsored rider paddled either of these two boards yet and can give their impressions of them in relation to other boards?

The new Falcon looks like a useful evolution of the 2016 one, and the Strike-2 looks nothing much like the old Strike, looking much more suited to a wide range of conditions rather than just being a flat water specialist.

But there's a limit to what you can tell by just looking at a board. I wasn't impressed by the 2016 12-6, Falcon although I rather liked the 2015 14fter - at least for downwinding. Last years' narrower 14fter looked to be pretty tippy. Has this year's slightly wider tail helped stability much?
