That's the answer to my question from your "teaser" vid ...sure looks like the Falcon downwinds well.  I kinda guessed it would, with its rocker line.  The 27 looks narrower than a glide in your vid... Must be the camera !  ;D

Any idea of the carbon versions weight ?

It ain't over until the fat board sinks....

 I really enjoy the comparison videos you do.

It looked like comparing the foot placement to the handle of each board (middle). You were able to stay forward more keeping the paddle power on and letting the board glide without worrying about the nose. The Falcon he was back more and having to trim more.

Having said, how was the Falcons speed compared to your board?

Thanks again.

Love your vids.  Some day I hope to venture to that side of the world.
