Bought 2nd hand from a Belgian in December 2009, for a low price. The board replaces my almost the samePro Wave 255from 1997. thePro Waveis also a good board, but it is newer and in better condition.

Controle
First look at the shape tells me that the shape is almost the same as thePro Wavefrom 1997. He sails slightly differently, seems a little more width and volume in the tail, plans slightly easier through wind holes.
This board is suitable for storms, wind equally too hard, a little more pressure on the tail, which sinks slightly, speed decreases slightly and you still have control. I haven't come across the end of control of this shelf. My 3.7 can be blown out of my hands, but this board stays on the water.

oldie?
yes, it's a board from the last century. Modern waveboards often have a lesser pin-tail or less V and/or Rocker in the tail. If those properties make a board suitable for storms. I don't feel the need to replace this board with anything newer. If only because I don't have to be afraid to demolish an expensive board.

sail
This board I only sail my little storm sails: 3.7 and 4.2. 4.7 is also possible with constant wind, but then I prefer to take my Goya One 95.
