At that wind range it would be difficult to find a board that will do what your asking. If you got to get wet, just go out on your 130 and work on board and sail tricks. |

The Phantom or CarbOne will be more fun in the 6-12 knot range, but will not likely plane earlier than your Blast. I have the Starboard Phantom 320 and a CarbOne. Both are fun in subplanning conditions and have a wide wind range. I will use a Ezzy Cheetah 8.5 and sail 5-20 knots. The Phantom is a short raceboard and is fun to "ride the rail" with the powerful daggerboard. A little more technical to sail than the Kona. The CarbOne is a fun cruising board and easy to sail and to teach others. |

AG80 - what would you say the planing threshold is for your CarbOne + ezzy cheetah 8.5 and what is your weight?
Thanks

I had a Phantom 320 and if the 299 is similar it handles like a slow, wide raceboard. Perhaps slightly earlier planing than my Equipe but totally outclassed the rest of the time and turned like a truck. I use the Equipe with an 8.5 for warm evening lake sails, if it's +10 I'll foil.
The bonus to the foil is that under 10 I'll work on my light wind sail drills, over that and I'm flying. |

My weight: 185
I can't give a real accurate answer to your question about planing threshold, but can tell you that I will sail in winds of 10-15 mph and will pump the board onto a plane in the gusts with the 8.5. I also have a 115L board that can I can pop onto a plane at about the same wind speed, but not as much fun to sail when the wind drops in those on and off wind conditions. |

At your weight (same as mine) a Ultrasonic / JP SLW will get you up and planning in 8-9kts with your 8.5 |
