| Evolutions of the high-wind models (76, 86, 96) The 2007 iSonics had wide tails, the 2008 iSonic 86 and 96 have even wider tails. With this new wider tail outline, efficiency steps up another gear to provide more speed and more control. With a wider tail comes also more power, quicker acceleration and higher upwind speed: it's easier to overtake to windward and to recover your line after overtaking to leeward. The iSonic 76 is an all new highwind special model, the smallest slalom board of the range. Like the 86 and 96, the iSonic 76 is quite narrow but the wide-tail concept gives it a wider wind range with a more powerful bottom end and better highwind control. Thinner: the profiles of the iSonic highwind models have been thinned down for improved control and razor-sharp responsiveness. The deck area from the front straps forward has been scooped out further on the 86 model for an extra-low centre of gravity. Summary: Slalom boards designed on maximum efficiency principles 3 high-wind models 3 medium wind models 2 lightwind models 1 speed gun model The most suitable sail types are pure slalom sails. Compared to the Futura range, the iSonics are pure slalom boards designed to provide maximum speed. Being shorter and with straps positioned far outboard, they are more technical to ride and requires a higher skill level from the rider to coax the best out of them. The Futuras are more suitable for those looking for a freeride board that provides high performance in a more accessible, plug and play kind of way. Being freeride designs, the Futuras are more comfortable boards with better jibing abilities. Specifications Model Volume (litres) Length (cm.) Width (cm.) Tail (cm.) Weight* Wood (kg.)
