Ray rode the carbon hollow F-14 with rudder and I rode his custom F-14 with dropped deck and no rudder.Verdict #1 - Ray is faster than I am.Verdict #2 - The carbon hollow F-14 with rudder is faster and much easier to control in a sidewind. No question for me after I did the run w/ Ray that the hollow version is the way to go. Ray will probably get one now. Jim – I did get a chance to switch with Ray on Wednesday, 2-18.

Contact me when you're going next and we can coordinate.I did a Hawaii Kai downwinder today. The wind was 0-10 mph and small chop. There were a few gusts of wind over 10 mph and when that happens, the F-14 really comes alive. I've been trying to get used to the board and balance but one thing that stands out from the past 2 sessions on it is that it surfs really good. I can actually make turns on it like I'm riding an 11' board. I need to test that out more too because I was really surprised. Ray – I think we need to test them out side by side.

My F-14 is flat with really hard rails. I'm curious to see what the double concaves do. Wonder how the different bottom contour works. My F-14 is flat with really hard rails.
