Anyone running one behind the boat yet?
Digging the snow style flex and shape, but wondering if it is too much of a wet noodle? any input?

Just got a good deal on Solo + Rad bindings on Evo, board just arrived, 142. Intend to use at cable park only but will give it a go behind the boat too and will let you know....

Taken two pulls on the Solo - one in choppy water with the fins in and one on butter with the fins out. I did not like the board much at all with the fins in. It rode very locked in and just felt funny. The tip and tail flex was very noticeable....I didn't love it but didn't hate it either. Seemed to provide some softness on the landing, maybe some loss of pop on the front end. The second set I just messed around on a short rope and slow speed. I liked the board much better this way, without fins. Felt that you could really do extended tail presses. All in all, not a boat board for me. Hoping to get to the park soon to give it a spin there. Optimistic I'll like it.

Thanks for the info

I ended up doing more reading and pulling the trigger on a cameo (chris o pro) instead

I have a 16 CO. Best board I've ever ridden

Did you ever get your Cameo?

Yea I got the cameo.

It's good. Like really good. Only complaint is the weight. I think this and the oracle might be my 2 favorite boards

I knew you'd like it. It's seriously easy to ride.

This is going to sound super weird but my left arm tendonitis has calmed down because it's so fast and edges so easily. It's kind of like ctrl supreme I rode behind the boat for a bit...

Do you run it as a quad or or a six fin? Can't decide which I like more

(boardjnky4) · (boardjnky4) **Join Date: Dec 2011** 07-24-2017, 9:05 AM

4 .7 fins for me. I prefer it looser feeling. To be fair, I've never actually ridden it with center fins though.

It's not a whole lot tighter but I think it carries more speed up the wake with the 3rd fin.
