The classic among sporty touring and fitness boards can also fully keep up in 2017. The board offers an excellent compromise between ample tipping stability and fast riding behaviour.

The nose is pointed and now also very flat across the water, which reinforces the sporty impression. This board is also the standard board for the N1SCO class, in which national competition series as well as European and world championships are organised. The side construction has been reinforced for 2017 and is designed as a "double rail", i.e. in double foil, as is the case with many other brands. The board is definitely one of the sportier tourers, so it's no wonder that the options for transporting luggage are not the main focus. The large fin ensures good directional stability, making the board fun all round; tight turns over the narrow tail just take a bit of practice.

PLUS Stable when paddling; very fast; access to Naish's N1SCO unit race class; sporty and fast feelMINUS Carrying handle unpadded and tightly sewn on

Conclusion: Very versatile board for sports and touring, unless you are travelling with a lot of luggage in difficult conditions.

Deputy Editor in Chief surf

Stephan Gölnitz comes from Bochum and had Holland as his home windsurfing territory for many years before moving to Munich in 1996 for the job of test editor at surf magazine. The materials engineering graduate worked as a surf instructor on the Ijsselmeer during his studies and competed for several seasons for the Essen sailing team in the Surfbundesliga and the Funboard Cup. He completed a traineeship at surf-Magazin in the test department and since then has actively accompanied almost all tests on the boom and for more than 10 years also as a photographer. Stephan has covered many thousands of test kilometers, mainly on Lake Garda and in Langebaan, but also in Egypt and Tobago. He gets his hands on over 100 new sails and boards every year as his company car. Privately, he prefers to surf with a foil on Lake Walchensee or “unfortunately far too rarely” in the waves. SUP is Stephan's second passion, which he pursued for several years at numerous SUP races. Today, he prefers to paddle on river tours with family or friends - even for several days.
