Fun time until I ripped my 7.8... third day in a row to break or rip something. Argh! Found a small nick on my 490, too, and that worries me. Moved the Aero's rear footstraps out to farthest out. Not fun to get into, but much, much better leverage over the fin, much more board control and speed. The board is a lot of fun, but doesn't plane quickly (it's not a dog, I think it's just the design, as it's a wave board). But, it jibes really nicely and goes fast enough for me.
