The whole Triple X range is great for gybe
tricks or cruising along but it can also
be driven like a slalom board if you want
to. The 99 litre board is great in bump and
jump conditions and it was happy playing
around in rolling waves.
Q:
What are its limitations?
A:
The foot strap positions aren’t right
on the rail which I’m used to, but
that’s not what it’s designed
for! Consequently you can’t get it
really going for slalom but then it’s
not a full on slalom board.
Q:
What sail sizes do you use with
it?
A:
From a 5m to an 8m
Q:
What fin do you use with it and
where do you position it?
A:
Depending on the wind strength I use between
a 32cm and 38cm fin and it comes with a power
box so only one position!
Q:
Where do you put the mast track
for different sail sizes?
A:
I found that for 7-8m sailing it works
best in the middle and then move it back
as you change down.
Q:
Where do you put the foot straps
and why?
A:
There are a lot of possible footstrap
positions and also a single back strap
option. I have mine right on the outside
with the double back strap. This is because
after years of sailing racing boards I’m
used to being right on the rail and just
prefer it as it gives you more control
of the board at speed.
Q:
What other boards are in your quiver?
A:
I used the Triple X’s during my stays
at Club Dahab and Club Vass. My personal
board quiver is made up of the full Fanatic
Falcon range from 90 litre slalom to Formula.
I also have a Goya Pro wave board for my
days off.
Q:
Any other comments?
A:
When I was at the centres, lots of regular
windsurfers liked the fact that they could
really progress with the board but as their
level increased the board was still fun to
sail.
