Out of 4 Ezzy infinitys I find that the 6 meter is the pick of the bunch.Has anyone found that every sail make has an exceptional sail in its range or is this just because the 6 meter in the appropriate winds is very manageable and therefore becomes the preferred choice.Any coments as to your choices?

Normally that is the case.
One sail size is tested a lot as the conditions favour it, and other sizes are scaled up / down from that.
Further, a longer boom (relative to luff) is better in lighter winds and a shorter is better in windier conditions. There are lots of similar aspects to sail design, so you'll find (for example) that the ratio of luff to boom (chord) may change a little from bottom to top of a sail line.

The other major factor is mast length as you may have 5 sails but two masts... two or three of those sails will be ideal but the others will be a little tiny bit of a compromise.

That's why there will alsways be a sweet spot. For me in wave sails it is my 5.0.

i love my 4.2 NP combat. i really love smaller sails because it usually means that its really wild when ur using them!! and i think u feel more free using a small sail. i find it easier to do tricks and gybe with a smaller sail too.

My pryde 9.6m is excellent in 25knots cross shore waveriding. Great feel when doing 1 handed back loops too.

4.2m, cause I know its windy when i'm using it!

I favour my 3.14, sailing with it is as easy as pie.

5.3 18-30 knots

4.7 is my fave size. 5.2 is just that bit heavier in the hands and in 4.2 weather everything is just that little bit quicker. 4.7, 25kts...perfect :D

5.7 sabre - farken awesome!

Hehe...

I enjoy my 7.5 freeride/Fanatic Eagle combination in powered up conditons. Other than that, my 6m Wave is really nice.
