I got this email from a Rep. Thanks for your enquiry. The new FSWs are amazing, their shortness and curved plan shape make them looser, more fun and better in the air than our previous FSWs and this width also makes them very stable and gives them a wider wind range. The width allows us to to make the rails thinner so they can be more responsive in carving moves and even in wave riding too.by mikeo - ASK A CLONE
I believe that test was for an RRD but not for the Freestyle wave. Although I have been known to be wrong, I tried to look it up but wrong RRDby mikeo - ASK A CLONE
Thanks for the reply, I found the website Wind Magazine even saw the board on the cover but could not read the contents of the mag. Plus printed in different language other than english. Maybe someone with a subscription could post the article? 2012 RRD Free Style Wave 102 ltr.by mikeo - ASK A CLONE
Looking to buy a new board this year has anyone tried a 2012 RRD Freewave and would like to report on it? The 102ltr since I am a heavy weight. New shape this year wider and shorter. My choices I think are the Goya 1 104ltr and the RRD Not too much has been said about them except the adds. I sail the Gorge at the more tame spots like to get an opinion of someone in the know.
