GEAR : feedback 8'1 Cloud XTR !!!

Romain shares with us on the forum his wife impressions about the 8’1 Cloud XTR : “First test last night for Nathalie. After a little time to adapt, it is conquered !
She especially likes its lightness, in the water and out of water. No stability problems. She struggled with the fineness of the tail. Accustomed the Fract, 10L less on this board requires more precision in the rear support legs, especially at take off. She missed a lot of waves early by pressing too hard on the back foot (reflex to avoid the board plunges into the water). This board reacts much faster and “rears” so much faster.
But with thoughtfulness, she managed to take a lot of waves at the end of the session. It was blown away by the acceleration of the board and the fact that there was virtually no inertia. I must say she tested at the same time the new pro paddle 7 “. That’s a lot of changes at once!” SUPer : Nathalie en GONG SUP 8’1 Cloud XTR et pagaie GONG carbon Pro 7”.
