I finallygot the "Dark Horse" 97 slalom out yesterday and wanted to give you my initial impressions.

 It superbly combines control and speed.  It feels controlled and compact underfoot ona beam reach and readily slashes jibes like a freeride board.  But turn it off the wind and it really flies.  I was on a 5.6m and 32cm fin in 25-35mph bumpy conditions.  That fin was a bit much and I can see the 97pairing well with a 5.0m and a 30cm fin.

Well Vincent happy to say I'm a happy FF owner after taking the "Dark Horse" 117 out yesterday. I took it out with a 7.2 3 cam sail and 37cm fin. Wow, acceleration is outstanding and gybing is good for a slalom board. still have to do some fine tuning but 1st time out looks like a winner.

Man the "Zulu IKLWA 37 cm", it feels like a dream. Upwind easy, downwind fast'n'furious. Jibe, clean and snappy exit
