25-35 knots I go for my 4.7m ezzy panther. I've yet to feel uncomfortably overpowered on it. It's normally the board that feels too big first. So yeah, really stable feeling sail and I can still plane is 15-20 knots with it. 35+ and I'm happy to watch at this stage.

My 5m NP....(forget the name of it)....... it holds such a good shape... has heaps of grunt and loves to marry the Tabou 85 nicely in high winds.......

NP 5m Combat.

I used to have a 5m Zone and never really liked it. It always felt too twitchy when the wind got up. It was a DTL wave sail though.

Combat feels more powerful and the power comes on more smoothly, which is great for the bay.

(I also like my 4.2 Severne Blade, but rarely get to use it)

4.7 2012 Kaos is a ripper, just does it all so easily and has amazing range. If it gets windier a bit more downhaul and bobs your uncle.
5.5 KaRace is going to be a fave at the PiT, so,so slippery and stable.

Ha! Nope, just the lush green pastures of Ricketts.

C'mon Bondy, you know I'd never bother with golf.
