Just back from a few weeks cruising around the Northern California and Oregon coasts. I traveled with these 2 boards and 3.7 – 5.9 sails and was covered very nicely. The X-Wave is a fantastic light air board that continues to work great in powered 5.3 conditions and waves. I prefer the single fin in this size to give me more flexibility on the light air end – it’s nice to have that single fin to push against. The TF78 is my bread and butter when it’s ON! This board does everything perfectly now that I’ve had it dialed for a while. Loose as a goose with out sacrificing speed, early planing or upwind ability. Truly fantastic all the way around. And now after being on this board for a couple seasons, I can vouch for the durability. I went from breaking production boards yearly to have this board keep on ticking for multiple seasons… not even a soft spot. Stoked!!
