La IS 107 (2013) est vraiment ultra polyvalente. 8.6/7.8/7.0 passent vraiment très bien. Planche avec une utilisation énorme, accélérations/contrôle de ouf...A mon avis c'est LA planche centrale à avoir dans un quiver pour un gabarit de +80/85 kg. Si on cherche de la performance, 7.00 sur la IS 110, à éviter. La 110 doit vraiment être exceptionnelle (si elle va plus vite) car le combo IS107/7.8 est vraiment terrible! après tout dépend du plan d'eau, du vent et du pilote....
Idem pour la 107 2012 d'ailleurs, plage d'utilisation dingo.
Je reste sceptique sur le potentiel de la 110 en 7.0, déjà que sur la 107 c'est un peu hors programme.
En revanche le combo 8.6/107 est tout sauf délirant, c'est même une tuerie.

In my view the isonics have a super broad wind range per size.It doesn't really need to change sail size to extend it.If you switch for bigger or smaller sail size/given board you are going to increase its range of 10-15% (my opinion).What I'm trying to say is that for getting the max from board size you have to push the same size sail to the max and the board always will feed great.For me it's better play with different fins than sail sizes.
I've tested the 127 many times with the 8,6 but,for my taste,it's better to sail it with a good 46/45 and a 9,5 than reduce the sail surface.When it's too much just reduce the whole kit and you will be already performant with that.
So the key is focus on which range is the most important for the sailor.
I agree that the 110/7,0 is too big,expecially when I think at my 107/7,0 sessions!
Well,I see some buddy using the old 121 with the 7,0 but I can't really say he's fast in that sessions...
I think the 2013 110 has no identity (still being a nice size).Too close to the "Golf" 107.This last one can make the 8,6/40 super good being not slower than the 110 in same session... Indeed it gybes lot more better and in chop has a big edge over it.
I'm seeing Allen and O'brian using it as big board in PWA,letting only Cyril registering it as mid board.It seems they charge it both with the 9,2 and 9,6 (!!! can't really see how !!!) as big sail.Maybe the Starboard marketing has wronged something about this board in 2013?
Confirm comes in 2014 release,where they present it as light wind board (ok,different monoconcave hull and 1cm+ overall).I think it could be super interesting with sails 9,2 - 8,6 (making a real difference with the 127-117) in medium speed and gybes.Its narrower tail will be super smooth rounding,hoping it won't loose too much in keep planning over the bigger size boards (guess they've balanced that using a monoconcave hull..) .
Just my opinion.
