Particularly pleasant: The 75 nevertheless seemed much more agile and lively than its five centimetre wider brother from the 2005 season and is therefore also fun for good surfers who demand a minimum of sporty riding feel. Wide jibes are effortless on the wide board, even if lighter surfers have to get on the edge with a lot of courage. Only the pads, which are very small for this class of board, can be criticised, as intermediates who frequently crawl onto the board can expect a soft carpet these days.
