The Fox is UNBELIEVABLE in chop. You'd never think a board that big could stay locked in and controlled as the wind picks up. BUT IT DOES! Coupled with that Moto sail, its a speed machine!! Thanks Mike!!
Very informative video Mike! The Fox 2 was already a great jiber , ( I have the 95L v2 version) , so if the 3 has improved on jibing And early planing the Fox 3 will be a winner for sure.
Thanks Bob! Glad that you're stoked on the Fox 2. Yes, the Fox 2 is already an incredible board! 3 full years of R&D later, Severne nailed it again! Always amazing when brands don't have a deadline to meet for a new product. Nothing is rushed along and these boards went through so many rounds of testing with both the pro team and average guys at the local beaches. Once both sets of testers agree that the board is the best on the market, AND an improvement from the previous model, only then does it go to production.
The Outer Banks, eh? Hmm, perhaps worth a trip to the USA. Still, first come Egypt and then Bonaire in spring. But I will consider as Nico seemed to have had such a great time with you guys (and girls).
Best time of year for Hatteras is April through mid-July and October. Shallow water with small chop similar to Bonaire's water conditions, but we have gradient winds from passing systems, not tradewinds. I've been to Bonaire 14 times, at least 2 weeks per trip. You will likely sail more days in Bonaire if you have a 7.0, but Hatteras definitely has more windy days for a 4.8, 4.4 or smaller.
I have not managed to sail the 115 myself yet, however I have spoken to a few people who have and they say that they like it a lot. I would probably go with the 115 if I weighed closer to 170 lbs instead of the 125. I currently weigh 185-190lbs and use the 125 with the 6.8 and 7.8 motos. I usually tend to switch to Freestyle when the wind hits 20-25, so for me, the bigger board makes a bit more sense.
@@severnewindsurfingnorthamerica..Mike, thanks for the quick reply and info… much appreciated! I’m of similar size and was thinking of using the 115 as my more ‘windy’ board, so your info is helpful. Maybe the 125 would fit for more of a can’t miss wind board for myself? Thanks again!

Mike…have you sailed the Fox 115? How would it compare with your 125? They look very similar

@@guspachio4977 I'm glad I could help. I think the 115 will do the trick!
Anyone who tried this on severe chop?
