Hi,

Yesterday (sunday), Belgium, Zeebrugge, warm (10°C) and windy.
I was on my board at 8h30 in the morning and had one of my best wave sessions in years, although the water is still kind of cold (5°c). I have been working out the last month and I really feel the difference.
I started with my charge 5.0 but had to go down to my charge 4.5.
What a nice sail. first time I used a 4.5 in 3 years.
I love this charge 4.5, so easy and stable.
Made some really high jumps and the last one must have been the highest I ever did. Gives a great feeling.
I used the whole time my original 95 and it worked great, even with the small sail and plenty of wind (7-8bft).
I have been swapping between Original 85 and 95, and now for my weight '93kg naked', I stick to the 95. This is really an amazing board for me, never feels to big and tremendious range.
6.6 is no problem for this board.
For the comming week they give wind and upto 14°c, feels like spring,


hang loose

The Original Wave series is super for intermediates and above. They plane up well, yet stay comfortable into some seriously high winds for their sizes. One friend has a 95 and he sails it down to a 4.5 too. He only weighes 135 #'s (61 kgs). These boards rock!
