- What kind of fin did you have on it and where were the straps? The
board is never going to slash like an 8'6" , but it can be loosened up
alot by using a different fin and moving the straps forward.

- If you put something like a curtis cr7 40cm on it, it's alot more
fun to sail and still goes upwind without much effort. A 6.2m is
a really small sail for the Techno, it doesn't really shine until
you're using 7m+ sails. Something that just isn't much fun on an 8'6".
