A Cold Panther in the Sea

Thank you to Domenico for sending this email and these cool photos.
Burrrr!!!

“Hi David it’s me again. first of all happy christmas to you and all the guys in Maui!! Here in attachment the pictures of our last day on the water: last december 26 was really really cold outside were not more of 3 degrees and water was about 12. I had my 2006 se 4.2 and fanatic 82 liters but was really really hard even if you think that I’m a fan of the speed slalom and not of the waves…
A very strong and cold wind called “bora” (coming down from balcanic area) was about 35 knots average up to 40-42 and you can understand that it’s not the usual condition we used to board. Waves of 2,5 meters and very very choppy sea so the first fight was to stand up on the board: it was very tough but we were happy because we tested your new Panther 3.7 4.2 4.7 of a friend of us and that sails are great as usual but unfortunately we don’t have these conditions everyday so as you move on this little sizes it seems not to be able to board at any time and crashes were about every 15 seconds…
But we had a very good times and this is the most important thing. Congratulations again for your new masterpiece Panther even if my s.e. is still a very great sail.

hope to hear from you soon

ciao from northern eastside Italy!!!
