See http://www.star-board.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10389 "the 35cm is 43cm long".
That should be OK for your combo. 32 may probably work with 7.3 on a narrower board.

Have not sailed the Futura 131 but 32cm seem quite small for such a wide board, even with 30° rake.

Was about to tell you the same. The Carve would be an ideal multi-purpose one-board solution for you with 5.0-7.5 sails, reminescent of the S-Type. But if you have also a 90L Freevawe, then the...

Considering your program I would go for the Carve... but I'm 10 Kg lighter. The Futura may give you that precious bit of extra range you need to save many light wind days.

Stupid question but... woudn't this cam rotate even without balls? On my Grand Prix 2010, the middle cam does not really touch the mast (no rollers, no balls) but rather "floats" around it. Maybe you...

Interesting... This reminds me of an old discussion about rough or polished fins. There was not clear conclusion, except that it would not affect performance significantly. However waxing hull or fin...

Hi Ken,

Sailing at l'Almanarre today I noticed a few things. In average, kiters were not younger than windsurfers. There were many young windsurfers indeed, and some greyish kiters as well....

Fin planted the board will offer less lift with rear upwind. Otherwise it's the reverse, nose upwind is better.
Deck up or down? I don't know, I see both. Would say deck up if the fin is smaller...

Planted fin yes but with rear pointing upwind, otherwise it may very well fly away. The worse thing is to leave it in a few inches of water. The surf will hammer it down on small shells/stones and...

Hi Belskorpio, I will use the 5.5 in 20/22 knots average up to 25. I could certainly use a 4.7 in the same conditions but sailing mostly on inland lakes I prefer to rig bigger with lots of downhaul....

Wave sailing maybe another story but one freeride board that works 90% of the time is possible. In my case a 65cm/103L board with sails from 5.5 to 7.8 covers 12 to 25 knots. There are very few days...

Yes this is the simplest and most classical way of doing it, but you end up with the rope above the boom. When uphauling or using the harness a lot the connection can get loose after a while. If you...

Hi Ken, you beat me by a few years. Congratulations !!

First I had a cleat fixed to the boom head so I could adjust the rope easily, and then make an extra knot for safety. Later I replaced it by...

Well I remember a similar trick but not sure it's exactly the same. Attach a rope below the boom's head, slightly longer than the mast diameter. When the sail is rigged on the mast, set the boom to...
