Hi All , Currently using a 107 69w 2014 Isonic with a 7m cheetah as my light wind big kit (I'm 69kgs) after this I go down to 5.2 fsw wave and much smaller kit.
Im finding the Isonic can be a handful at times in the chop I sail in and at top speeds around 24-26knts I'm not really doing it justice.
Looking at Free ride boards in the hope of easier to use, gybe and less harsh to ride etc.
The Freerides and Freerace seem to carry more volume around the 69cm wide , should I be looking at volume or width to match my 7m or is there anything else to consider?
Couple of boards that have come up a few times as good recommendations on here are the Tabou rockets and Fanatic Blasts.
Thanks
I am 69Kg and I am considering a Goya Carrera 5 107, a freeride with a hint of freerace board.. I am getting old (well, no, I am) and the idea is to use it with a Point-7 6.7 Rush, a sail designed for the low end, as an easy-going light, 12-18, wind. The alternative is a Futura 105, but I suspect that it is still designed to be used seriously overpowered, like the Isonic 67 ... and I cannot really do that any longer!
