Hi guys,
I`m looking for suggestions for an allround/freeride board that makes going upwind as easy as possible! I already bought a big board for light conditions (Naish Orbit 152 cm) so that is covered.
Waves aren`t part of the equation and probably won`t be for a while. Some basic jumping may be in the future, but nothing too crazy,

I weigh 85 kg with a shoesize of 44/45 (10/10,5).

Thanks for helping!

mm Maybe fone trax or shinn. Best to test some boards because you may ride better on 1 board

I`m checking out the F-One Trax Carbon but can only get that in 136x40,5 in the shop I`d like to buy in.
Do you think that that size would be ok? Personally I feel that 137 x 42 would be alot better especially for upwind capability (edit: I weigh 75 kg, not 85).

I have a couple of options now and hope that you could give me some advice:

F-One TraxHRD Carbon 2015 - an F-One guy suggested that the Carbon version may be less forgiving and the worse option for a beginner who wants to freeride.

F-One Trax HRD Litetech 2016 - can somebody recommend this board? I`d take it in 137 x 42 cm I think.

North X-ride 2015 138 x 41 cm

What do you think?
