I recently sailed with a bud: similar weight, skills, board (Kombat87/Kode86) with my 5.3SF vs his new 5.2 Ezzy wave. Consistently pulled away from him on the reaches, and when he tried my rig, said it was more powerful, but felt "old school". It was his first time on a Freak, plus I use the mono harness lines (total feedback). It will feel strange to a new SF user, but rigged very full they have substantial low end pull.

I went head to head with a mate on Kona's, me on a 9m SF, him on a 9m Simmer Xtype and the SF had way more low end grunt in sub-planing conditions.
