Hi all, I'll be quick. I ride a 127 freeride board on the Med, weigh 93kg and am about to go for a new sail. I've narrowed my options to 2017 Loftsail Oxygen 7.8 or 2017 Loftsail Switchblade 7.3. The conditions here are mainly 12-20 knots. Which one of these two is better for my blasting needs and covers a wider range ? Thanks SB

Loft 02 7.8.
Have had the 6.8 and the 7.4 and found these to be extremely tunable in low and high wind days.
The range has changed since I last purchased, but still one of the friendlier usage sails out of that supplier.

Thanks for the reply, what about the infamous "going through lulls" ?

With a 7.8, you'll be fine
