Realwind Stiletto board

[johnl]

Anybody familiar with the realwind Stiletto board? I'm looking for something in the 95 to 105 liter range. Windance has a 8'8" board in their used boards. But I have no idea what liter range this would be. Also what is the difference between the fish (which i own) surflite, and Stiletto?

And a side note has anybody been in contact with Realwinds this summer? Wondering what they might have...

Long time no C. Howzit up at the Gorge?
8'8" is very narrow, maybe around 21, so it'd be surprising if it's really more than 82 liters at most.
They're higher wind boards, for smaller sails in the Gorge.
There was one at Delta Windsurf, a 8'4"er, that looked around 68 liters, no more, since it was 20.2" wide and very thin.
They're akin the boards built around 2000, long, narrow, big nose flip. I'd think you'd need at least a 9' Real Wind and not Stiletto for 95 liters.
Since they're customs, nobody ever bothered to measure volume.

Gorge is good, plenty of wind. Well except today. 😎. I've been off Iwindsurf forums for a while. A bit to much static and not enough info so I took a break. 😎. Still plenty of people sailing up here.

Thanks for the info. The search continues....

Seems you'd like a Real World type wave board, something similar to what Isobars likes.
Some float, but not uphaulable, very turny and sticky to the water, wider tail still can jump and glide thru lulls, and if you find one with thinner rails, you'd slash at top speeds and have the rail hold in just fine.
Light weight for pumping onto a plane in the lulls.
I'm getting old, and really like my Quad Starboard 76 for all the above plus a controlled slow ride that goes upwind well and the board doesn't bounce in voodoo chop.

The Realwind Stiletto at Windance was a long way from 90L as Lee suggested?? Full carbon wrap according to Rob. Rode smooth, jibed awesome, not the first to plane with stock fin. Sold today for cheap if it was the one I had in there.
