iSONIC 131 wood carbon 2010
I was waiting a while to get the right conditions to test the 2010 iSONIC 131 wood carbon. All the last week we had too strong wind conditions, which were great for small Slalom gear. I had a session with 5,4 and 86 fully powered up.
Today we had the perfect 131 conditions, 7 – 12 knots in the afternoon and I was lucky, that Sport Schneider had not sold the model already while the last weekend. So I could borrow the masterpiece – thanks Hannes – and could test it.
The board really started to accelerate in no wind. Was incredible and the jibes felt very easy. In the beginning I had the mastbase a bit back from the sweetspot, but moved it in front of the sweetspot by half a centimeter later.
The board went over the short chop of the lake very quick and it was easy to have good control. I was quite impressed. The wind was light, but I could accelerate almost 53 km/h in the top speed. The 8,8 m Code Red felt well balanced and the stance is a good one. The straps are far out towards the rails.
My plan is to test the 131 against the 121 while the next days. Could work out on Thursday.
