Subject: 8'6" HiTech for sale - $175

Now that I have my new Forsyth 8'6", I no longer need my 8'6" HiTech, so let
me know if you'd like to check it out. I sail at 3rd a lot, so if you want,
I could bring it and you could try it out.

It's a great board, much easier to sail than the Forsyth, but is heavier ->
less air, and slower.

I have sailed it from 3.5 overpowered to 5.4 (I weigh about 165 pounds). It
handled overpowering conditions very well. In more normal conditions
(4.5-5.4), it sails very well, but is just not fast or light enough to get
the air that I need.

It's in good condition and has a nice paint job. Includes Pads and Straps.
Finbox was replaced by ASD a couple of years ago and is rock solid.
