Origin
Bought new in September 2000, but is actually the 2001 model of the Bee. The Limited edition is the first series of 200 that is 1 kilo lighter than the regular production version. I have number 098
The board came out on top in the test of the German surf in 2000. I like it a lot, only water starting is a bit more tricky with cambers (my 8,2 and 6,8) because you can not just put the boom on the back of the board. The back is too short for that.

Fast
The board is very fast, it is not a full-on slalom board, but compared to many modern freeride boards it wins easily.
During "The-Mission" I managed to keep Hypersonics behind me with this board, because this board gybes tighter around a mark.
Sold
After purchasing my HTS Super Fast M I sold it in August 2005.
Sail
I only sailed this board in low wind so I mainly use large sails. A 6.2m² can be used. I sailed my old Simmer 6.25 quite a lot on it. The control is then, especially in chop, not really good, harder to keep the board under control, and a 6.2m² is more fun on a smaller board. For fun surfing or a short downwind slalom I use the 6,6 sometimes on it too.
Fins
I have given the original 42cm to my dad, the first time I sailed it, I immediately sailed it against the rocks and is therefore it was fairly damaged. Then immediately a new Pro-Limit 43cm bought, sails pretty well. But after many stories about the difference between the B-brands and the real brand fins, let's have a Select 43cm purchased. This one is much better.
