Fischer Watea 101 (2008)
The Watea shines when jackets go a-flapping—stable both within the turn and during go-for-broke straightlines. It tracks through crud, regardless of speed.
Props
When pinned, it cranks down the fall line. Slow it down, and the Watea still wants to turn.
Gripes
A little slow to turn in closetlike spaces.
