"I must say I'm very impressed with the sp50, I took it out when others where on 115ltr+ boards 7.5-8.5m sails i plugged the LW/McD 23 fin in and sailed away? surprised a few on the beach as well as myself!! Couldn't believe how easy it was to sail, in fact i was on it for 7 hrs, the extra volume at the nose made the board feel as easy to sail as my 106ltr. Anyone out there dubious about buying a speed board ... SHOULDN'T BE! I'm no pro by a long way but it really is so easy, i don't know why they're (the speed boards) billed as so technical?? Gybing was like a hot knife through butter ... why do people say there for straight lines only ... check the pics they don't lie!!!" - Alex
