Severne DYNO V5

I have Fox 95 - 105 (2024) and 120 liters.
I'm looking for a ~ 85 liters board.
Has anybody seen or tried the new coming DYNO 85?
When will it be on the market? I have read that it has changed a lot from earlier models and more wave-oriented.

Thanks for the answer.
Mainly onshore sailing, bump and jump sailing, not really wave sailing, but onshore shoppy windwaves.

The V5 is lighter, stronger, faster, earlier to plane, higher to jump and easier to wave ride than the V1,2,3&4 or at least that's what Severne says.

But seriously the Dyno is a good board, the V5 should be as good as the previous models.

I frequently sail a JP FSW 85 and Tabou 3S 86 and also trialed a Dyno V4 95 earlier. There's a lot of difference between these three boards.

3S excels in lighter conditions and feels super light. It doesn't perform well when very powered up (at least in my setup/conditions). The JP is the other way around, don't like it in marginal conditions but the control when powered up even when overpowered is impressive.

JP is also considerably faster than the 3S, probably because of the flatter bottom. It's actually a really fast board and absolutely love it.

Both boards don't perform well in wave riding but that shouldn't be a surprise. Still fun for jumping and riding swell though.

The Dyno felt like a completely different board to me, admittedly it was 10 litres larger. It felt much slower and more playful so I thought it was more wave oriented although only sailed it on flat, choppy water.

I'm sure the Dyno V5 is a great board, but you might want to trial a few FSW type of boards if you can, especially if you expect it to be as fast as the Fox. Whish they produced a 85 litre version of the Fox, that would be brilliant for high wind blasting.

go and see Paul. one of the great things about having severne local is that they will often let you a board to try, i tried both the 95 and 105 (which for me seemed massive). I didnt go with a dyno as i just didn't get on with it but plenty of others love them hence why its so important to try them i personally prefer the fanatic stubby but all do the FSW the same way but they do feel quite different - JP tend to be quick and clattery, Tabou are nice and smooth (3S vintage is awesome for freeride and 3S + is way more playful and wavy), the quattro fsw is no surprise VERY wavy , etc etc, Goya one used to be a nice blend of both but looks like its got more wavy

ooops !!! just assumed he was in WA !!!

We can now read about the new Dyno at www.severnesails.com.
I have been informed by mail from severne that the 85 liter board can handle a 5,8 sail (Ezzy).
look at the webside: Dyno 85 Sailrange: Gator 3.7-4.7 / Redback 2.5-4.7
It must be an error I hope.

The sailfigures are just rough recommendations, and not to be taken literally. Usually they error on the other side though, i.e. give a too large sailrange and the sweetspot is always smaller than that. The Redback sails are not made in any larger sizes than the 4.7, but yes they did mess up the Gator number for the 85 liter board, a 5.3 sail should at least be fine, I guess.

You can use a 5.7 gator on the 85 dyno. No problem.
6.0 was certainly the upper limit and felt a bit off balance (too much sail loading the fin due to the boom length)

Got to ride a V5 95ltr during the week, was gusty shifty 12-18knts in manageable chop off Cottesloe. Set up as wide 4 strapper and with all 3 stock fins in, 6.0 Gator. Did a dozen plus back and forths in dead side shore before handing the keys back. I'm 95kegs and was riding my 99Pyro V2+5.7 blade which was nicely powered, bit under done occasionally.

My Pyro is no slouch but the V5+Gator is lightning by comparison, felt like there was another 10knts on the water. The Gator is a far deeper sail than the Blade and the extra bottom end was chalk and cheese. The V5 combo from a standing start was race board like, bare off, get in the straps ASAP and hang on! The board chewed through any chop and was really composed when running deep over the back of waves at full tilt. Upwind was on rails compared to the Pyro. In my 20+mns on the board it did nothing wrong, even threw a forward, a sign of being comfortable I guess. The overall control at high speed was fantastic.

Afterwards we talked it through. The Pyro combo felt like it had the same power but was a silky smooth stroll. The V5 was set up as a serious cardio/physical workout and you were hauling ass when you went the full monty. Very different, both enjoyable. And very impressed.
Would love to get a V5 set up in wave mode for some small wave bashing. One day maybe...

Hi DaveWo1,
Nice to read it, I?m looking forward to have the 85 liters v5, biggest sail will be : Ezzy 5,8.

I love the Dyno 95, it's actually not bad in waves! Fantastic for jumping conditions too when it's a bit marginal. Great for blasting through chop too.

If I'm struggling a bit on my Nano 87, then switching to the 95 Dyno always puts a smile on my face.

I've had a go on a Pyro 87 too, I reckon one of those planes almost as early as the Dyno. Picking between a 93 Pyro and a 95 Dyno would be a tough call, both really nice boards.

Go for a Dyno, I think they're awesome! Can't go wrong.

I have the 95l Dyno V3 which I use for wavesailing crossoff and onshore, bump & jump and attempting flat water freestyle. Mostly use with a 5.6m Combat sail and have done 26knts setup as a thruster and inboard straps. Fantastic all-round one board in wind 10-30knts. I'm 85kgs.
