This is one amazing board! Erin was the first of the three of us to sail it on our opening day at Kanaha in really rough, onshore conditions with a sizable swell running. She earned the enduro award for staying out for a sold two hour session. She loved the board. The way it turned, planed, it’s overall feel.
Erin, Rob, Francisco & Lalo Goya, Keith Taboul with a pile of sweet new gear to test!
The next day, I got on it in windy conditions at Camp One. It pretty well blew my mind right off the bat. It seemed I could do no wrong. I’ve not had much love for twin fins in the past, they seemed too squirrelly, with not many redeeming feature sat least in the Gorge conditions I normally sail in. The Tempo, however, proved to be an entirely different animal and it was flat awesome: grippy yet loose, fast, quick and the turns were really, really nice.
I give the 2012 Tempo 76 rave reviews and my highest recommendation for anyone looking for a high performance ride.
