X:Breed, anyone tested this

Postby THOR_NADO » Fri Feb 08, 2019 7:01 pm

Looking for a wave board that can work for small baltic sea waves and also for foiling. Is this a perfekt combo where I can use the same board as a wave board and also with a foil?

I've been riding mine since it came out - excellent board for both foiling and waves - we get the same stuff in Scotland (or a bit worse) as you do in terms of waves. If you're ok foiling strapless it's superb, if you like your straps there's only an option to put one on the front. I personally prefer wipeouts when not being strapped :) It's a godsend when traveling. We're hitting Tarifa again next week and it makes one less board in the luggage for me - a TT and XBreed + HiRise and I'm set for whatever hits us.

Let me know if you have any specific Q's and I'll try to answer them best I can :)

Just to clarify here, there is only one strap position on the front of the board, unlike some others where you can have 2 footstraps on the front of the board. I think that's what you meant, but when I first read it, it sounded like you meant it can't have one in the back. Maybe now that I've helped, it's clear as mud. :lol:

I've only gotten to use it as a foilboard so far, with just one strap in the front and I like it a lot. I totally agree with you that it would make a great travel option, especially for those that don't ride TT anymore. Surfboard if windy, foil if not. :thumb:

I actually had to look up that phrase "stitch up", not being from the UK. I think I may have to find a way to work it into my normal lexicon now. ;)
