Bought 2nd hand in December 2004. I actually wanted to buy an older freestyle board, but a 2002 and 2003 were just as expensive or only 50 Euro cheaper, yes then you just take the latest one anyway.

light
The first thing you notice when you pick up a 2004 Skate is the weight... light!! You are immediately very careful with it. This is clever work by Fanatic to make a 111 liter board with only 6.3 kilos.

loose
The board is very loose on the water. Runs very easily and is very stable. Spins nicely, plans early. Only a planned gybe is a bit more difficult because of its width.
At sea it is not too extreme weather to sail, even golfing with a5.9Going well.

Sold
Since I had gained 12 kilos, the Skate 111 had become too big. I had hesitated for a while to buy a Skate 101 or something, but in the end still for the easier sailing and test winningFreewave 104gone. After purchasing theFreewaveI soon sold this Skate 111. A friend of the seller of theFreewave 104Was looking for a Skate 111, how fortuitous.

Foot straps
Only disadvantage on the board I find the rear footband. You don't have an option for double foot tires, which makes it almost impossible to sail a longer fin underneath.

sail
I use this shelf for freemove, in low to reasonable winds. Even a5.3goes well, even if it comes into its own with5.9and6.7.
Fins
I got 2 fins at this board: The original27cmand a newMistral 25cm. The original one was already pretty worn out. For a7.5I definitely needed a bigger fin and also the6.6needs at least a 27cm. So I wanted 2Goya Freemovesbut could buy a 3rd MFC for a nice price. So I have oneStyle Masterbought to try that too. theStyle Mastergoes with a5.9Very good. the31cmin low winds I think is just too little for the7.5.
