|
|
I'm a low advanced but newer150 lb sailor. I'm thinking of off season light winds......how big a board do I need to use my huge sails. I have a 6.9, 7.2, 7.9, and 8.9.
I have a ton of boards, but only old free ride boards in the higher volume range....... 1- 100 ltr, 2 - 96 ltr, 1 - 93. I have plenty of really big slalom fins to use .
Will this work well, or do I need a higher volume board, or specific slalom board. ? |

100 liters, 7.2 max
Trade some smaller boards for bigger, depending where you live and luck. |

8.9-- something 75cm or wider
7.9-- something 70cm or wider
You probably be uphauling these sails, enough volume for you to comfortably uphaul in your conditions (more for wavy conditions). |

Larger than 100, the mention of width has considerable merit.
IMO a 125 liter is near , I like my 135. _________________ K4 fins
