The past
Saturday I tested the Black Tip and Icon 4,0 at Pozo conditions.
I was
sailing on 4,0 a bit powered up. Booth sails are really comfortable in
sailing and waveriding, but the Black Tip is much better in waveriding and Icon
in jumping.

El sábado pasado probé la Black Tip y la Icon 4,0 en Pozo Izquierdo. Estaba navegando con 4,0 fuerte. Ambas velas me parecieron muy cómodas navegando y surfeando, pero la Black Tip mucho mejor en surfeadas y la Icon en saltos.
