GEAR : feedback 9' NFA XTR !!!

Titi shares with us his impressions about the 9′ NFA PRO XTR : “The winter has been long but my 9 ‘NFA XTR has finally arrived in early May and I was eager to try to reassure me on my choice.
With a small meter, 15noeuds wind in the nose, I could test the beast.
Despite the strong wind, it is very stable and very easy to row for 120litres, it starts on anything, really effortless. OK, you may say, normal for a 9 ‘…
Except that after you started at the bottom, you do not have at all the feeling of being on a 9 ‘with a hook and reactivity worthy of a shortboard foot … !!!
On the other hand, be careful about the roller following the top of the wave, the 9 ‘are again here … and the return is the most laborious blow if you do not back the back foot, I had to take some waves to manage without planting the rail … But once built, it farte with excellent maneuverability for 9 ‘even if, suddenly, we are in longboard style playing on moves …
In summary on this first test, super slides, very playful and really easy nose, all without problem until the series with a remarkable stability …
I hesitated between 9 ‘and 8’ as speed85, but I spent the age of rowing continuously for balance when the water is agitated …
It remains to be tested in larger, hollow !!!” SUPer : Titi en GONG SUP 9′ NFA PRO XTR. Source : Team GONG SUP, stand up paddle pour les noseriders.
