Dawg I rode the Super Phatty in the same wind I would normally ride a SS Glide in, 9-12 mph. I weight 160 and my biggest c kite is 16 Octane and 16 Turbo Diesel bow.
The board simply rocks and I do thank SW Scott for the test drive.
The upwind ability of the Phatty in light wind meets or exceeds the SS Glide performance with better jumping IMO and less of a "skatey" feel to the board. The Glide is kinda loose where I was locked in edging with the Phatty.
There is no question the construction and durability of the Phatty exceeds the SS which is rather fragile.
Have not ridden the Barn Door, however I would tend to believe this board would excel in light wind for heavier riders.
