Once on a wave the sail size isn't too much of issue I find. It was mainly when sailing along that I found the 5.6 was overpowering the board a bit.....it started going sideways as much as it was forwards. Perhaps some bigger fins would help? It's perfect with a 5.3 or a 4.7 though so if you don't plan to use any bigger than 5.3 then I wouldn't worryby Windsurf Jim - ASK A CLONE
Hi Johny I'm 86kg and use this board as my only wave board with 5.3, 4.7 and 4.2 sails. For my weight it doesn't like using anything bigger than a 5.3....I tried it with a 5.6 but it struggled. The board does feel small when using it but my friend who is your weight uses it as his lighter wind wave board. In terms of euro/onshore waves, it does work and has reasonable speed for jumping butby Windsurf Jim - ASK A CLONE
Hi Dan Have a look at these guys: They are due to be out soon so worth getting in contact with them to find out how to get a hold of one.by Windsurf Jim - GENERAL DISCUSSION
Thats meant to say 76-80L, not 90!!by Windsurf Jim - ASK A CLONE
Thanks for the replies guys! I was tempted to go down the route of a 95 freestyle/wave for Jeri but was still concerned about the wind strength over there and whether or not it would still feel too big...and so started looking at smaller freestyle boards. Jem, I will have 2 boards with me, but the second will be a fairly dedicated 76-90L waveboard as heading onto chile afterwards, so reallyby Windsurf Jim - ASK A CLONE
Hi I'm going to be heading out to Jeri for 2 months at the end of the year and can't decide on what size and style of freestyle board to take. Ideally I'd like a freestyle board that doesn't feel too big as I prefer sailing smaller boards (currently own a 80L wave board that I do a bit of freestyle on), and would like something that I can still throw around in the waves a bit and use a lotby Windsurf Jim - ASK A CLONE
