Choosing the Right Windsurf Board: Volume & Features for Your Needs

Question
Windlover,

Thank you for your previous reply. You forgot to answer my second question.
I am comfortable in footstraps, in a plane at high speed on my 145L Fanatic
Shark and a 6.8m sail (with steady winds of 15-20knots in the Med). I think
by the end of this summer i will have outgrown this board and be ready to
move down in volume. What volume should my next board be? What else
should I be looking for in a board? I am 6ft tall and weigh 75kgs (165
pounds).

many thanks,

Savvas

Answer
Hey Sawas,

I did answer your question via the ? you sent with your ht/wt stats. In addition to that, you probably will want to go for a freeride board. They are the most versatile for a variety of conditions. They are not quite as fast as a slalom board but easier to jibe and great for tricks. They can be used on waves but won't perfom quite like a wave board. So check to be sure that you got my reply on what size board to look for.

Hope this helps.
Keep on sailing,
Windlover
