Titolo: F2 RIDE 284

Vorrei un parere riguardo la tavola in oggetto.
E' ovvio che il giudizio dipende anche dal grado di abilità di una persona,
vorrei quindi sapere se per un'individuo come me che pesa Kg.80, che sa
usare il trapezio e sa virare, ma non sa strambare molto bene e non riesce a
partire dall'acqua, se potrebbe essere una tavola da acquistare visto che ho
avuto un'offerta per l'aquisto (E. 500,00)
Buon vento a tutti e grazie per i consigli

Mai avuta ne provata per cui non ho esperienze personali da riferirti, ma da
quello che leggo direi che forse è un po' troppo avanzata per chi come te ha
poca sensibilità sulla tavola (" ... e non riesce a partire dall'acqua ...
")
non tanto per il litraggio, ma perchè mi sembra un po' troppo "tirata" oggi
esistono tavole più larghe e confortevoli con cui si impara prima
Se non ti risponde nessuno con esperienze dirette cerca su goggle o yahoo
che trovi un sacco di prove (ti allego qualche esempio) e poi il solito
consiglio di cercare di provarla in acqua ...
Tutto IMO
Ciao

F2 Ride 284
 (62.5cm/130L)
The narrowest of these boards, particularly in the tail, the 284 only just
qualifies for this group, and even though it is still happy with an 8.0m its
130L of quoted volume may be optimistic. It is one of the most 'technical'
to sail, slightly faster and more exciting than most of the competition and
therefore has a heavy Freeride leaning with a directional and blasty type of
feel. We see it as appealing most to heavier mid to advanced intermediates
looking for a good all-rounder with a slightly higher-than-average quota of
excitement, speed and response but still with commendable performance in
moderate to marginal winds.

150 liters (9'2 (280cm) - 9'8" (300 cm)). For advanved intermediates,
heavier slalom sailors, or light air planing. Example: Air 265, Ride 284,

F2 Ride 284 Tested Windsurf June 2001
Early Planing A fast freeride design which drives off the fin. tt's also the
smallest board on test here, so it doesn't rise up onto the plane as fast as
some of the others - still good though and the geometry of the board allows
for easy pumping through lulls.
Speed. This is a quick board on all points of sail. More importantly it is
quick AND controllable. There are faster boards around but the Ride 284 will
give you all the sensation without that 'Oh my Gawd' feeling of the board
controlling you rather than the other way round.
Manoeuvres. A very precise board which goes where you want it to. Has a good
throw-about feel and also feels smaller than its 130 litres suggests.
Suitability. A blasting board for lighter though not the lightest winds.
It's also very much suited as a stronger wind board for heavier sailors.
Rig Range. Up to seven and a half metres
Construction & Accessories. F2 uses a modified version of epoxy sandwich
construction which most other brands use. Instead of an epoxy top skin F2
use a layer of ABS. The result is the Ride's hull weight compares favourably
with the more exotic lay ups. The upside is a tough skin with more abrasion
resistance and a hull that will stay, looking newer; longer: F2 have really
focused on rider comfort in recent years and these newest designs have well
shaped domed decks, well placed footstraps and deck pads. There's a good
variety of footstrap placings and the fin is matched well to the boards rig
and wind range. A balanced package.
Overall. The Ride 284 is a very controllable board that drives best off the
fin. More suited to smaller rigs. it's a true ride or blasting board though
it's still highly manoeuvrable. Well placed comfortable footstraps and pads
make for a user friendly and versatile design.

Io ho provato quella gialla con la riga rossa (1999?) e riuscivo a
recuperare, peso 70kg. E' una tavola un po' nervosa ma non difficile.cmq e'
+ godibile se parti dall'acqua.Il modello + recente, quella bianca, ha il
volume spostato verso il centro e mi sembra anche un po' + larga. A me me
piasce...
