proto hit 7.4 X 85 lt (VIPER)

Message par fp1369 » jeu. juin 26, 2014 8:34 am

Ciao,
1 test in waves. Not good conditions. 12/14 knots on shore, short period, mushy, a little bit crossed, choppy water. 70/80 cm (max 1 mt). In this conditions ONE or Fatal perform better, for sure, but I have to test my new toy: viper (proto hit) 7.4 X 26 x 85 lt. original fin set tri fin... central in medium position.
After some session I will send a complete test :), at this moment I can say: amazing board... over immagination!!! really.. it is a dream.. perhaps too easy and stable !!!! :shock: :shock:
Fast in paddling... really good speed.... of course for a 7.4, but there isn't no problem to choose the best position on line up and explore the spot and breaks.
Stability perfect!!! :shock: I can't believe! I can use a board as viper in thise shitty conditions!!! really no problem (of course for a good training body !!! board needs good legs and core).
Take off? incredible!!!! board catcth the wave really really earl. Better than fatal of course, but at the same level of a final 105 semi pro for example !!!! :shock: :shock:
Board is fast on wave... in this conditions of course better a fatal or a ONE... proto hit hasn't the same power in tail. Boards has the power under front foot..... not under rear foot...
The turns are simply amazing... as expected!!! You can change radius on demand, vertical attitude!!!!
during top turn the board slashs on demand, but under perfect controll.
on mushy sections the speed isn't as a fatal, but this is perfect and normal... I don't want a board as fatal !! I just have!!! :D
Istintive, perfect reactions under feeft, really no inertia (5 kg!!! and carbon pvc reactivity!!! )
as expected for this board, the secret is under front foot... board needs a dynamic drive.
Really I love (h)it proto. ... but the name is VIPER :D
only feelings after an unperfect session, but this is a perfect first test!!!!
no pics in action... sorry

1 test in waves.
two hours session. first part 12/14 knots on shore, low period, whitewater, strong current, backwash. 1.5 mt of good waves (good for this condition) and...... lefts :)
not easy to stand up in this condition, but not a real problem... only really physical.... board needs a good trained body, but isn't impossibile... Really easy to go behind the line up... low volume, good noserocker, reduced width and good paddling speed allow to go really fast (for lenght of board) to the best point in line up. take off is amazing... sooooo earl that nobody could immagine :D more than 20 / 25 mt than surfers line up!!!!! I catch all the best waves (sorry for surfer friends...but I worked until 19.00 and the begin of session was at 19.30...).
I haven't words to describe the quality of surf of this jewel. All my dreams in only one board. Speed, controll, slashy and vertical attitude, perfect on face wave and in bottom, great in top turns, no problem in hard sections after top turn... the good nose rocker gives the perfect security. You can change the radius on demand and the board follows your ideas without problems at full speed.
After one hour, wind turns off shore!!!! revolution... board is almost too easy and the surf quality shines !!! I surfed some of the best waves of my life!!! During top turns the tail is as a razor and the spray over the lip was another gift of this magic board.
At this moment is a real dream for me..
I love my ONE, I love my fatal.. perhaps in my common conditions both are the best solutions for the power under tail and reduced lenght.. but viper is soooo close to my "style" of surf (of course I haven't the skill to have a real style, but... it is only to explain my feeling) !!!!! Viper surfs as (or better) a radical twin fins windsurf board (70 lt)... I say this for windsurfers to explain better the feeling of the board!!!!
Different styles: ONE and FATAL power under rear foot, Viper (proto hit) under front foot.

Thanks Patrice.. this is a masterpiece (for me :) ) .

I love small and short twin fin windsurfing boards so I know exactly what you mean. Sound like you have a perfect short board trio Filippo!? I will try a slightly bigger proto Final next week and I am really curious how it will perform :)

Filippo, sounds like you are having a great time with your new board, an evening surf on a new board that you like and it sounds like it likes you, a magic date, , doesn't get much better than that.

Yesterday another sunset session with 7.4 proto..
hard condition: 18 knots average (but gusty) sideon shore, strong current, crossed choppy water, great backwash... really really phisycal board in this conditions... A lot of time in the water instead on the board deck :), but, after take off... is a festival, a dream, a poem... 1.5 mt of good left (someone over).. amazing aggressive attitude and a lot of controll in sections
Rails cut the face wave as butter :)
I love viper.
the end of session in darkness :)
This is my xtr quiver by night: in order viper 7.4 (proto hit), fatal 99, one 109

finally the end of Summer...
yesterday the first solid swell, glassy, 1.5 average with 2 mt sets.
I was tired, two days ago 30 knots and 1.5 mt of crossed waves... in this conditions after 2 hours with viper (proto hit) I was more in water than on the deck :D... really isn't the perfect battle ield for viper... I took the fatal 99 and...it seems easyyyyyy :D
But, yesterday :D :D :D,,, another story. After storm, a light off shore wind and the perfection over a rock reef. WOW... indonesian waves in a my spot!!! Some of the best left ever surfed in my life! and viper ? I haven't word... expecially in english. I can say only: if you want know the surfing quality of the proto hit, you can think about the best board you can immagine and... well.. the proto hit (my viper) surfs a little bit better :D :D D:. Vertical, fast, easy in take off, earlyyyyy take off, great in bottoms, amazing in top turns slashy or extra fast as you wan... Of course the shape isn't relaxed in waiting period... sometimes it is easy to be in water in a second :D, but ... is an amazing board....
Only one limit of the board... the surfer.. (my skill isn't at the same level of viper :D ).
