- Well, I only sailed on for an afternoon last summer, but
I really liked it. Like every ASD board I've tried it's
blazingly fast, but this one is a blast to jibe ( unlike
most of the other ASD boards I've demoed. ) I didn't buy
it because it wasn't the board I was looking for. It was
too close in volume/performance to what I already had.
At 180lbs, I could uphaul and slog it, but it wasn't
much fun.
- If you're looking for a Coyote board at around 100 liters
I don't think you could do much better than a mutant. It
was by far the most fun board to sail that I demoed last summer.
