I'm doing a bit of window shopping for boards of this size In the 2015-2017 age bracket. I want to replace my Carbon Art SL52, but go a little wider as I now have my CA SP47 for the big days. I currently have a X-Fire or Falcon in mind.
Anyone out there who sailed 2 or 3 different brands in this size range that can share some insights?
the main characteristics I'm interested in are:
- top end speed in relatively flat water
- not too technical to gybe
- confident handling in chop

Thanks
