Bic e-Rock Wind Range

2016/7/22 14:39:20


Question
What are the best sail sizes for the Electric Rock? I am about 180 lbs and have used 4.0 to 7.0 on the E-Rock. What about the Astro Rock?

Answer
Hey Jay,

The E-Rock is about 9' 10" and if I recall, around 125-130ltrs. I've sailed anything from a 5.0 to 8.0 on an E-Rock but my best combination was a 6.5 or 7.5. When it was 5.0 conditions the board would get a bit wild so I usually changed to a smaller board. The Astro Rock is 9' 3" and about 110ltrs. Sail range is about 4.5-6.5 with 5.0-6.0 being the ideal sails for best board control. Both of these boards were top performers in their class during the time period that they were made, early to mid 90's.

Hope this helps.
Keep on sailing,
Windlover
