wave - fsw boards that are fast

I have got a 2024 model Tabou 3S Classic 95 liter single fin, and love that board for inland water and bump n jump. I tried the Dyno 2023 95 liter on holiday and didn't like it in bump and jump at all compared to the 3S. I was actually dissappointed and surprised how much more wave oriented it is. I would understand it in waves and would love to waveride it. The Dyno is a waveboard compared to the 3S. So it depends hugely on where you sail, but the Dyno felt slow starting, slow topend, twitchy. So if the topic starter is looking for easy planing quick board I would go for the classic 3S.
I have friends riding the Tribal Libero and being blown away by them. Havent'had a change to try them yet. But could be interesting option.

Tabou gets so much love from people. Between the tabou and the dyno which one felt more nimble/lively

I have read that the Patrik F wave is meant to be a fairly fast board but not to sure about sail

JP FSW are the best for me. Fast for bump n jump and great in waves. Not a fan of the Dyno.

Jp always a great option especially for lighter riders. Plenty of used options too.

what was it about the dyno that didn't resonate with you

It didnt feel quick in a straight line to me and i hated gybing it. It felt very tail dominant and i couldnt drive the rail hard in a carving gybe like i could with my free-race/slalom boards and my JP FSW.

Thx good to know.

there was a used jp fsw that came up locally which I almost pressed the button on.. still having to say no to myself.
decided to lean towards faster wave boards for surf and freestyle boards for flatter locations.
