Im looking for a light wind board for days that are just SHAMEFUL! I've seen some people getting out on these Airush Xiles ...just wondered if anyone has tried them? Any commments?
I've got one, gets me out on those light wind days with a 13m kite (PL Venom) so I haven't needed to get a bigger kite. It trucks up wind and loads up nicely for some ok jumps whem normally you'd struggle planning on a smaller board. This board really does plane early, it surprises me how it just jumps out of the water onto the plane with minimal power. Best off demoing one first though, I demo'd one from Airborne, if your in Perth.
Cardboards will do you a custom shape that works
for light wind. I have just ordered a 136x45 which will be perfect.
I have a 140x44 now and haven't ridden a better light wind board.
Other light wind boards include the SS Glide, Naish Floater, F-one Fifty pro and Underground FLX 42
Go the cardboard i have one and im 90kg and ride a X3 and stay upwind in 12 to 13 knotts, i paid $790
