The large MADD boards are the absolute leaders in early-planing performance in the HiFly range. Despite relatively small fins, very large sails can be used. Spinning out is just about impossible, because the short fins together have a fairly large surface and can handle the pressure of the sail. You are always in control, even in very gusty wind conditions. The boards really go upwind well and are very fast.
The plugs for the straps are mounted fairly far inside for both boards, which facilitates an upright and relaxed stance. This helps to keep the board flat on the water, even at high speeds, because the two short fins never make the board come up over the rail. Jibes are accomplished successfully with great ease. Well-mannered but with good speed the MADD glides through the turns. All this contributes to the feeling of riding a considerably smaller board.
As is typical for HiFly, large pads and super comfy foot straps offer the best riding comfort.
