This weekend POINT-7 present at Wijkiki beach - NL.
Everyone was able to get their hands on the 2013 Point-7 sails and feel by theirself how great these sails are. Organized by Harco Jan, Point-7 Benelux
Can you see the Flikka magic allready?
Today Bart ter H. was able to get his hands on a SALT 3G 5.6m2.
(the salt3G 5.6 was mine though, but really stoked to give him a try out on these sails.)
As my salt 3g was used by Bart, i rigged up a Salt 5.2m2 myself. The wind should increase during the day so it was allright taking a smaller sized sail.

Several other rides on da box!
------------------------------
Time to switch sails. At the parking the wind kept on increasing. I had in minds to get my 4.6m2 but took my SWAG 4.2m2 instead. My big ED's Box 103L was still on the beach. I decided to try out the high end of my new flikka custom EDS BOX.
Never could of imagine that my new custom would work out so good with high wind conditions, as its a super light wind board with 103Liters.
because of the very small fin setup that i use : Maui Ultra Fins 2x Xtwins 16.5 + Xtwin 14.5 center the flikka edsbox was still very controllable. I never had any hard timesor out of control. Only in the sky and by the landings you could feel there was a wider board underneeth.

Today 2 lucky guys were able to have a little testride on my FLIKKA Shark Ed's Box 103L.. my friend Robin B. in the early morning and in the afternoon Kristian S. from flikka.nl I'm very curious about their experiences about my custom EDS Box.
Feel free to share it in a comment below :-)
Robin’s Review of the Flikka ed-box 103L
BeantwoordenVerwijderenJune 22, 2013 and Edwin and I exanged boards. I was surfing my Quattro KT 98L. 2013 and edwin his Flikka ed-box 103L . My board surfs nice and certainly does not feel like a 98 liter board. When I saw the flikka edbox i thought this board that must be special. That shape is so radical hmmm. I surfed away and the first jump was cought easaly hight and landed him vertical nosedive. Edwin was a bit scared that I made his board a littte bit shorter than it already was. Offcourse there was no reason to panic and I landed it smoothly :-D
The board feels like it’s a bit searching though the water because it’s wide at the front. But you get used to this after a short time. Ít plans very quickly and feels that you have reached maximum speed on the ed-box. It jumps easily and you can make very tight turn. You can feel that this board is really made for North Sea conditions. Easy to wave riding, short turns and feels like sailing a 80L board. This shape is really the future of lightweather waveboards! It is waiting when all major brands come with shapes like this.
