Hello

I would like to know experiences using the Fone Papenoo in wavesailing float&ride conditions.

Thanks

Which size do you ride?
I use the Naish Hover 122, full tail rocker 7'5" x 28" with one 9.25" wave fin and front straps mid position, rear strap only as an extra handle.
Easier on late drop ins than my 9'6" Fanatic Fly, but the corners sometimes hang up on steeper drops.
Mast track more forward than a Pap allows, since this is a slog setup for wind under 15. Bottom turns pretty good even with offset front strap, the back foot moving around with each direction change.
More nose kick would be nice, but it would slow the slogging speed by a lot.
Look at a profile pic to compare rocker. Similar from mast track back.

If you aren't foiling I think there are better options. This will also depend on what you have available in your area of course.
If you could get it there are a few good choices from Sunova.
