L'interview de Koen Sonck (BEL 2) sur les nouvelles Exocet RS 5 et 6 :

"Maximum speed as early as possible, explosive acceleration."
LOCALSAILING : Can you tell us about the main design differences compared to the former S and what were the reasons to change them?
KOEN : The previous Warp S (76 &85) were a blend of a dedicated slalom shape with some characteristics of a free-racer, offering a high performance board for a huge variety of people. It had very forgiving rails and the length was longer for extra stability. Since the introduction of the Exocet Sting, we have the perfect successor for those boards.
So the new RS boards have only the "S" common in the name and I would not call them an evolution of the Warp S.
RS 5 & 6 is designed for uncompromised slalom racing. Maybe I need to say that due to its design and wider tail, the RS can be quiet accessible too, esp if you keep it gentle on the throttle by adapting your sailsize. But put the counter in the red and you will be amazed about what is under your feet.
"The wider tail boards will require some more rail pressure during the jibe, but the extra tail surface will keep you planning even with those bigger sails."
