Over the last decade we have seen so much change in gear design and tech and thought it would be cool to hear what wave gear u spent ur hard earned coin on and are currently rockin

So for or a bit of context list ur Weight, general conditions u sail in and all ur sick kit + a comment if u want.

Im currently 80-82kg, sail in gusty NSW conditions and a lot of light wind days, generally cross / cross off with only a handful of days over 30knts.

82ltr Starboard Reactor 2016
92ltr Starboard Reactor 2016

4.1 Ezzy Taka3 2017
4.7 Ezzy Taka3 2017
5.3 Ezzy Taka3 2017

Ezzy Hookipa masts 370 and 400 and Severne Enigma carbon boom.

Been loving the Reactors for the last two seasons. Not the fastest to plane, but turn like a demon on the wave, pop airs easily and heaps of fun.
Ezzy Taka's have been a revelation, great handling and power with huge tuning range - siiiick sails!

Here ya go Daz a snap shot of my summer in Perth Metro only, ocean cross onshore beach breaks, I missed quite a lot of days due to work or wife doing things so I had to look after the kids.
Only use 1 board a 95 litre custom quad, my weight 88kg. Severne carbon boom 400 and 430 masts my 4 sails are Severne Blades the 5.7 is a pro version probably the siiickest sail everrrrr!!! So fully sick that I should be picking up my 2018 5.3m pro in a couple of weeks.

Carbon art, Kina 96L 2017 (229x59, thruster)
Carbon art, Ahu 104L 2017 (229x64, thruster)
OES, xwave 100L 2014/15 (240x63 freestyle wave - single, 23cm & 28cm wave fins)

servene gear, enigma boom, blades 6.2 (2015) 5.7/5.2 (2017) will need to add a 4.7 for the nuking days.
also just picked up S-1 5.6 (2017) still to dial it in only used once.

East coast of Aus and occasional trips to tassie and wa,92 kg.

I use 5.7m 60% of the time, and just swap between 96L & 104L depending on wind and waves conditions.
I use the xwave for blasting and jumping summer NE with 6.2 and 28cm fin, then change, to 5.7 and wave board to suit, about 20%.
The rest is 96L and 5.2 and smaller.
if the the winds not on surf and sup,hence I now have a van to fit the toys, but locally I only pack for the forecast with a surf board, 2 wave boards and 2-3 sails.
The carbonates are new, before that 101 & 94 L fanatic quads, 2014/15 I think.
