Unregistered I've tried Kombat86 with a lot of sails (I'm 85kg), should be very similar to Kode. Going over 6.0 will gain nothing but clumsier handling. Maybe for light people it's a bit different but I doubt it. Stay away from freerace cammed sails, tried that also, not a very good match. |

CAM sail? What about CAM sails? For instance would 6.0 GTX or S Type work well on Kode 86? S Type http://www.north-windsurf.com/en/sails/S_TYPE GTS race: http://www.gaastra.com/sails/2010/slalom-race/gtxrace ? |

| Haggar | I have the 2008 Acid 86 which I am told is very similar to the Kode in this size. I use a 6m freeride sail with a 26.5 cm select wave fin, this combo works fine, but the board does work better with smaller sail sizes I think. This is a fantastic board and just so easy to ride and gybe : ) |

| Chesapeake | I've sailed a Kode 86 with a 6.4m2 sail. I weigh ~80kg. The board has the width to support such a sail but you need a larger fin to drive it. I looses a bit of maneuverability but it seems to keep its speed. I did not notice a sizable change in planing performance. Hope this helps. |

Max sailsize for Kode 86 I have just ordered a K86 2010. I planned to use the K86 with my ICON5.3 and upwards. The question is, how far up can I go in sail size? What is the size of the sail when I no longer gain any early planning performance? I want my biggest sail size to be comfortable with the board as the K86 will be my light wind board. I weigh 75 kg and will use the board both in small waves and bump n jump. My options right now are ICON5.9 or NP FireFly 6.1. Anybody with recc. or experience? |
