In anticipation of coming Sunday I decided to test the Tribal Rapid Speed 57. In one gust I could feel the potential and I have to say the board handles the chop truly, truly well. For the rest of the time the wind was on the light side for the board and sailsize, yet it amazed me how easy it went through the lulls and how quick the board gets on the plane. The volume distribution with a very forward oriented thickest point helps to push it onto the plane. As for the rest I am keen to give it another go when conditions are truly suitable for the board. Thanks for bringing the board with you Robert!
