TheLoft: Greg Penne and Marco Copello blast new Caledonia. Report with pix!

I enjoyed an excellent trip in November with the well-known shaper Marco Copello!


When we arrived in New Caledonia, our friend Patrick and his family welcomed us at his beautiful place named Poé beach.

 

 


We ripped a nice freestyle session with my LIP 6,2... It was perfect condition for this in The Poé lagoon with very incredible colors to do some shots. Then we tested the 2010 O2 7.4 with a Bioflex freeride board from Marco. We have done good work on this new flex tail version... with yet more response & even better performance!

 

 

 


The 2010 O2 7.4 was amazing... very light in the arms, I had the impression to ride with a 6.0m2! It is very powerful, and I can stay with this 7,4 m2 with no problem when the wind becomes stronger! We experienced incredible acceleration- like a full-cammed slalom sail !!!

 

 

 

 


Thanks Monty for arranging the O2 2010 for us!!
See you!  :)
