EXOCET RS7 90 cm wide Raceboard performance

Remember, those are just guidelines based on the person's weight, preference, and sail sizing, with PREFERENCE a huge factor.
For instance, a 220 lbs rider would/could use bigger fins and sails.
A really lightweight rider would use smaller fins.
And underpowered to overpowered might require 3 different sized fins.
And fin length is not the only criteria. Some fins have wide chords and tips, while other's narrow and much less area.

I e-mailed Exocet in France and Patrice Belbeoch had their shaper Jean send me the width 30 cm (they are accustomed to cm) from the tail. Width is 67.8 cm. Virtually the same as 26 3/4 inches. 26.75 times 2.54 = 67.9 cm

Very timely and impressive response. It confirms response from Curtis.

Thanks everybody for all your input. It really helped me in many ways. I, along with two friends, placed an order for three RS7s last week. They should arrive next week. Whenever we get wind (unlikely in the short term) and we're able to test the boards, I can give feedback to those who are interested. Just let me know.
