Hi all

Any recommendations for a directional board to do downwinders this season.

I have never used one (minimal time on a foil board) and just want to do something other than twin tipping at my local from time to time.

Just buy a small volume cheap surfboard. Unless you want straps then you will need a proper kite board which will cost you more $$.

The Duotone pro whip is a great board

That's a bit of a how long is a piece of string question due to personal preference/conditions.
If you're doing the city/trigg DW'er I'd get something short as possible, with a bit of width, to help fit in the mostly small punchy close outs. Not that I've ridden it, but the duotone fish looks ideal.
