The equipment of the RRD Move is classy - helpful trim markings, solid materials and a good protector leave nothing to be desired. Ideally, the Move should be trimmed up to the printed trim point; the fork should only be tightened moderately so as not to stifle the already rather flat profile.
In the planing phase, the Move is agile in the hand; those who can feel the angle of attack with technique have an advantage here. If you are more passive on the rig, you need a little more wind to planing. Until the RRD really loads up and lets the board fly over the fin, a little more basic wind is needed, but then the sail reaches a high top speed and keeps the pressure point stable for a pleasingly long time.
The Move has particular strengths in manoeuvres, ducktacks, loops, jibes or duckjibes, where you benefit from a flat, wave-like profile set-up that ensures very neutral handling.
Surf summary of the RRD Move 5.7
The RRD Move is not one of the steam hammers in light winds, but is convincing as a handy manoeuvre sail for bump & jump and surf. It's not ideal for powering single fin boards, but is absolutely convincing for manoeuvring, basic freestyle and wave riding.
