hello everyone, im looking at a get a new board but not size if a 94L board is good for me, my weight 74Kgs. im an intermediate windsurfer just learning to jibe but the board i have is abit old fastion.
some would be much appreciated thanks
Yeah, even if u were to go a 95, after you learn to gybe you will want to go smaller :P i use a 86L, im 79 kilos. dont have any problems (except with straps, but thats* my technique )
A larger one would help you learn the basics .. say 95 - 105ltres. Although it would take alittle more imput to turn it would be more forgiving on the exits and may allow you to wobble out of an iffy one.
the board im looking at get it a F2 Maui Project - 257 cm, 94 litres or i also found 2006 RRD Freestyle Wave Fsw - 246 cm, 101 litres although the F2 is closer to every i live but i just want the best board for me.
the board i currently have is a bombora 295
If you are just learning to gybe 94 L would be the minimum I would suggest, unless you are a really quick learner. Something around 110 L will be a lot more forgiving and will help you salvage a gybe when you fall off the plane. Later you can use it as your light wind board.

Gaz, sorry I did not notice - this is a F2 "Maui Project Style" (I assume we are talking the one in WA buy and sell?)
Danial said "Maui Project" which is indeed a pure waveboard.
If it is the Maui Project STYLE then yes it is a FSW or older freestyle of some description and would be good.
I maintain that a FSW will be a way better option for learning to gybe than a waveboard. Freeride / slalom is fast but not loose, waveboards turn great but won't hold speed thru a gybe like a faster rockers board.
FSW in the middle are just sooooo nice to gybe
Daniel sorry if any confusion was caused but you need to be careful posting what model you are asking about ![]()
