EVENT: HIPE PRO TOUR
BackSecond session for Fillipo with the HIPE Pro that he could test during the HIPE Pro Tour. A session to confirm the feelings he got during the first test with the HIPE Pro.
“HIPE Pro Tour: second chapter (sorry, no pics).
Yesterday’s second session: 17 knots side-on (but 12 knots at the end of session), carbon mast 85, Fluid XL-T and stab Fluid M. Wave around 1m (not choppy, real wave).
“The performances between the rigid and the HIPE Pro are really really close”
I tested the board and the Lemon 5’0 2022 in the same session (when I was using the Lemon, the HIPE Pro was under the feet of the Lemon’s owner ). Now I’m sure: the performances between the rigid and the HIPE Pro are really really close, more than I expected (really). Almost the same early take off (according to my friend the HIPE Pro is even faster in take off), reactive when in fly mode, almost perfect in carving on the wave face (“almost” isn’t bad when you can use a masterpiece as the Lemon in the same session). So OK: rigid is rigid, but (with the HIPE Pro) you can forget the wrong idea about inflatables and their poor performances in waves.
The HIPE Pro reached a new performance level (…my friend will buy an HIPE Pro ..he was really amazed).”
