Severne Dyno 105
Have had two sails on this board, I'm 95 pies and currently have a Fanatic freewave stubby 105.
First sail was on flat water, good speed, seemed to keep up with those around me on more flat water orientated boards well.
Felt a bit 'stiff' around the corners when compared with my Fan FW but I suspect thats because I am running the Fan. with a 19cm centre fin and the Dyno comes with a 22.
Anyway, second sail was at Currumbin (Gold coast point wave) 3-4ft, powered up 5.3 (Blade), so pretty much full on cross shore wave conditions. Board felt like a large waveboard, nice and secure through the bottom turn like a quad, but with a loosish feel off the top with your back foot right on the tail. Loved the speed - felt like had heaps of speed for top turns and, best of all, seemed to instantly accelerate when power applied, great for making it around close out sections. A mate was on his quatro quad and commented I seemed to be tracking high upwind.
So for me better on a wave than the Fan FW and actually felt faster on flat water.
Haven't tried it straps out/big centre yet, but reckon the domed deck and good speed would be great for cruising the bay. Quoted max sail size is 7.0m, but think that might be a bit of a strech.
Be also interesting to try it with the 20cm centre that comes with the 95 litre version for onshore days when you want things more skatey.
Have always wrestled with owning specialist wave board that I use 5 times a year, but found most FW's too stiff , (hence the 19 on the current board), which was pretty good. Bit think this may well be the solution, just with multiple fins!!
As a final point the allen key bolts for fins and footstraps is genius for a board of this nature where you will be moving straps around and would otherwise be stripping phillips head screws!
