Guys,
I appreciate your input about durability. It is very important.
But my primary concern was about performance and ease of use. My old
Mistral is dying and there is no wind :-( to try ASD. And after all, you need
time to get used to a new board.

Well, are ASDs faster?
Point sharper?
Easier to jibe?
Carve sharper turns?
Stay stable in the turn?
Easier to jump?
Harder to break a foot :-) ?
Deliver more fun?

Sergei
