This helmet is junk for windsurfing. As pointed out, it is designed for surfing.

Very fast and lively when powered up. Technical to ride because of the asymmetrical volume distribution and kind-of thick rails in the tail. I have a 295 that doesn't get used much anymore (left it...

I concur, I LOVE the F133...it's WAY better than the C131 I sold (though I can't say I thought there was anything "wrong" with the C131, it just wasn't right).

Only thing about the F133, and this...

Starboard uses fine quality straps, it's the holes that are too close together.

The holes are fine for 42 wide, but for a 46 wide / 47, in booties, the only way I can get them to fit is to spend...

Interesting thing is that the blade itself doesn't seem to flex at all! So much so I have to wonder about the stability of the camera mounting apparatus. If it is in fact stable, which I suspect it...

I don't have a K114, but have an Aero 117. I highly doubt it, but you'll be OK with it as a wave board. I use mine as a light wind wave board, put the straps right next to each other (actually...

Ola,

I have size 12 feet, C width. Your solution is a joke for guys like me. With booties on, which I wear because I sail in rocky areas far from sandy beaches of Maui, I've NEVER gotten a board...

Perhaps, but if you are important *B as a retailer, then this is not the best place to get their attention - it's too public and thus not sufficiently diplomatic. That's one businessman's opinion (I...

Why do you think the 133 has a higher top end? That would be nice, since I put in my order for a 133, but I would expect the 122 to be quicker. Or did I mis-understand you?

We agree, JM, it just must not be clear in my posts.

10.0 to 8.0 / 7.5 is definitely do-able, depending on the sails. I don't have a 9.0, I have an 8.0 SuperFreak and an old 8.7 Z1 still in good...

Forgive me for seeking your advice, but I admire and respect your understanding of boards and sails, and have most often felt in very tight agreement with your well-articulated views.

RE: Board/sail combo for gusty flat water sailing

At 75 kg, I pretty much agree with Maximus that you want a 110-130 L board; bigger won't be that much of a penalty if it's never more than small chop. I never rode a HS, but the size range is right....
