Two nights ago, Jodie had an opportunity to ride the Starboard Kombat 79 and the Naish Session 4.7 right out front here in Hood River. Here are her quick, initial thoughts:
“The Starboard Kombat planed super easily and felt floaty in the lulls, with quick pick-up in the gusts to get yourself really moving. It rides incredibly smooth in flat water, and was easily maneuverable in the little swells that day.
“The Naish Session is easy to rig and super smooth to sail, with no twitching or other quirks. I have sailed the 4.2 and 4.7 and found both of them to be an absolute treat to sail. The sails hold strong in the gusts and keep me powered up through the lulls.”
Awesome. Thanks, Jodie!
