38 is tiny for the 110 !! I am using 44cm Z-Fin with 7.0/7.8 and 46cm with 8.6m ...

A bigger fin definitely gives you more lift, earlier planing and more drive through the lulls; it helps to...

Hi Jarekg,

You probably already have the best fin!

Last season I used 44cm most of the time on my 117w with 8.6 - 7.8 - 7.0. I was using a Z-Fin 44cm which should be pretty similar to the...

It's probably my favourite board in the range!

Compared the 117 I find it's a lot more agile and direct in the gybes. By 'direct' I mean I can start a turn and then put some more weight on the...

I will have to check but I'm guessing they were using the 520's/550's from last year? I didn't really see anyone on a NP going fast when they got on...

Tough to say whether one would plane earlier than the other ... comes down to how much work you put in to it.

I have both the 127 / 117w. Raced the 117w on the PWA in 2012, and the 127 in 2011....

Hi Gabriel,

If you are planning to do any racing on this new board, I would DEFINITELY go for the HWR. Without going in too much details, the HWR simply has better angle/speed upwind and downwind...

Will have to get back to you on the sail limit on the 87; I don't live in the windiest place ever so don't get as much chance to use that board! Remi would know better, but I'm thinking the 7.8 would...

Can confirm the 97 + 110 combo. That's what I'll be using on the tour and also it's a great combo to cover 10-25 knots which is what I get at my home spot.

The 110 is perfectly suited for the 8.6...

Hi Pelegrin,

I used the same board in 2011 on the PWA. I was 80kg at the time. I think us lighter riders need to work to get more weight on the back of the board over the fin which a heavier rider...

Carve,

I would recommend for you the new 87. I am 80kg and for 2013 I'm going to most likely register 87, 97, 110 (or 117; haven't quite tested that out yet) for the PWA next year.

Normally...

On the new Starboards, you are correct, not very many people are using bigger fins than 70-71 ... I am using one 70cm VMG in all conditions from 6-35 knots!

That being said, the Vapor...
