More details about this board

I may have an opportunity to buy the Windsurf board in the picture...I know it's old and from my research it seems like a mistral naish Titan unfortunately I can see the board until December.

Can anyone guess the volume? Can I use this in small waves since it seems to have a center bootstrap. How would this board compare to my favourite rocket 125

Any other information will be appreciated

That board does look like a Titan around year 2000 so it's about 110 liters. Nothing at all like a Tabou Rocket. It was a fast wave board with a lot of volume around the mast track and very little in the nose with a lot of nose kick so it would not pearl. I had the 8'5", 85 L like the red and white one in the picture. At my weight 150 lb. it was not a good high wind board, It felt and sailed like a bigger board. I used it with sails 5.3 - 6.5. You could put a 7.0 on that thing easy. Mine had the option of using a center strap or using 2 rear straps like a slalom board, so my guess is that board is the same. Should work fine in moderate wind and small to medium size waves.

I agree with the Titan. Of course the sail size will be smaller than the Rocket.i would not consider it anything like a wave board, rather depends what your version of small waves are. ITS A Freeride board, but in that era it has some FSW GENES.

I got this at a swap meet for $50
It now looks like this.

It is a wonderful board. The original shape is Freeride,it should plane early, it's nice and wide. It won't compare to a newer Freeride shape. It could be a steal if you wanted that size.
Mine is 222x 62 , about 96 liters, a quad.

it's about 115 liters and can sail up to a 9.0

not that great in waves. was meant to be a go fast board

The letter T between the straps indicates it a Titan, year 1999 or2000.
Mine was 110l. 240x 62
