Hi Greg, At your weight both can work but the LWR is less physical and more easy, so better to choose the LWR. All the best |

Hi Greg, Did you will use this board for race or just for enjoy for light winds? All the best |

Lwr or hwr Hi, I am thinking of buying formula board. I am 172/76kg. Now I ride Angulo Magnum/Naish Redline. Which board would you suggest LWR or HWR. I mostly sail up to 22knots. Please advise as I am a little confused with the choice. As always more choice more problems :-) regards Greg |

Hi Unregistered, We make a board for light riders and heavy one to make satisfy all and give a chance to all to be competitive despit thei weight. Now is only up to you if you want to buy 2 boards, but as far I know their is no change on this since the beguining of the Formula. The rules say only one board for the event. All the best |

Post #30 "What I am reading is that in order to be competitive I will need 2 formula boards next season. 1 for lightwind and 1 for hi wind??? The point of the FW class rules that put boards on a 2 year cycle was to eliminate things like this and make formula easier to get into." Poster #30, you do NOT need two boards to be competitive. The option to have two boards is not new. During 2008-2009 anyone could have two boards say a F2 Z (for light wind) and a 162 (for high wind). Starboard i believe want to make Formula attractive to both Heavy and light weight racers, who want to ride Starboard. |

| Unregistered | I may have missed this, but does the two new Formula boards have inserts for two chicken straps or just one on the centerline. I see where the new Exocet formula board has inserts for two offest straps from the centerline as does the Mike Z boards. And I see where some folks in high wind places have added those inserts later. |
