Not really more complex, just different and does many more things so there is bound to be a learning curve. Hang in there, it will all get easy with familiarity.

It will be difficult and probably be unfair to try to use a yardstick number without adjusting it for wind strength. I note that the latest version linked above has such adjustment for the Windsurfer...

It depends a bit on the specific conditions you are to sail in.

Sorry Floyd, I didn't follow any of that. It does seem to suggest a lot of 'qualifications' though. I would like to know what the 'experimental data' showed.

I am pretty close to your size and Use the ISonic 87 in the winds that you mention with mostly 5.8 KA Koncept, sometimes the 6.6m or 5m. It is a real gem for me. Very quick, easy to control in the...

RE: Fin for KidsPro S-Type as Speed Board?

The ProKids Sonic 06 and the iSonic50 '07 are very different boards even though some of the measurements are in the same ballpark. Both are very fast though!

RE: New Stretchy Wesuits

New wetsuits are ALWAYS warmer than old ones. The old ones break down internally and lose their insulation properties. But I am of the firm convection (!) that a new thicker one is warmer than a new...

RE: Top Speed of Isonic 87?

I have one and really like it. Top speed so far at 38 knots in 25 knots of wind. I am sure I can crack 40 on it and I am only 74 K. I sailed the older sonic 100 and 95 and found them a bit big and...

RE: Fin for KidsPro S-Type as Speed Board?

I am only 74 Kgs and 5'10" and I found assymetrical speed fins between 19cm and 22cm worked very well for me. For your size I would think the 22 -24 range would be the go in Assys and 25-28 in...
