Sorry to hear about the 106 Martin. I wasn't as keen on the 106 either. 3S86 on the other hand is awesome.

Yep Evan,  My own fault, should have ridden one before I purchased it.  It is a nice board, cruisy, easy, eats the chop and is probably the smoothest gybing board I have ever sailed.....it just doesn't want to go fast.  I really struggle to get it up on it,s tail and rock and roll, it naturally wants to sit flat and cruise along.  It is a FSW board and probably fulfills it,s design brief perfectly,  I just like faster boards and this experience has made me realise that.  It is a tough gig getting a board that is as smooth and easy as this in the bay mess to also be really fast, but that is my mission.  The new design I am working on will do that, at least thats the plan.
