Tahe Techno
No board is perfect in all conditions, but the Tahe Techno comes very close to achieving this feat. My comparison boards are a 120L Tabou Rocket and a 220L Kona One. Both are excellent boards in the right conditions, but those conditions are few and far between when you aren't at the Texas City dike or sailing in a one design regatta, respectively. The Tahe Techno is the perfect displacement (I weight 190lbs) for small lake condition where the wind shifts both direction and force within seconds. When the wind picks up the board gets up on a plane. When the wind dies you can still float without difficulty. The centerboard is very easy to engage allowing you to point immediately when needed. It may be a perfect board and I highly recommend it.
