NP RS6 with MaverX masts
I know this may not be the place, but the NP forum no longer seems to exist. I want to rig a 9.0 Neil Pryde RS6 on a MaverX Daytona300 and was wondering if anyone has any experience?
Now, before...

2006 S-Type 115
I am replacing my S-Type 115 with a slalom board and was wondering which isonic to go for - options are 101 or 111. I have a Fanatic Falcon 125 as bigger slalom board, and weigh approx 95kgs.
Also...

RE: Isonic 87
TJ,
Have you bought the 87 yet. I have a 94 for sale which has only been used twice.

RE: Carve 133/144/162
at your weight, you certainly do not need a Carve 162 (I wonder if anyone does), and the F-Type is a nice board but so very different to the rest of your quiver that you have to wonder if it makes...

RE: Naish Stealth 9,6 with HS111
Hi Steve,
It seems to me that you are exploring the margins a little too much. Its not so much the uphauling that concerns me, I know people who can do this on a 70ltr wave board. It more about...

RE: Bigger fin for the Is 133?
Hi Mark,
Yes, it is on Ebay and I am thinking of switching (back) to formula. I love light wind sailing in the summer months and do not feel the Is133 is delivering it for someone of my weight...

Bigger fin for the Is 133?
I am finding the Isonic 133 difficult to unstick in light wind conditions, and was wondering if there was any mileage in going for a bigger fin than the stock 48cm provided?
In light winds I sail...

RE: ISonic 133
Hi Simon,
I own an Is133 and would say that the 7.8 you could use at a push - the 6.5 is too small and there would be no real benefit to putting this sail on the board as by the time you'd use it,...

RE: isonic 111 vs 115 (06 model)
In the absence of other comments I can offer the following:
Having owned a Is125 and now a 133, I think the new generation iSonics are more intuitive to sail, but seem to need a little more power...

Isonic 111 speed
I have an Isonic 111 and have been absolutely amazed at the ease of sailing it. It is really confortable, it planes relatively early and is quite intuitive to sail.
But... with the larger fin I am...

RE: iS145 vs. iS133 in 8-14kts 7.5-9.5 sails?
No No No - don't!
There is no doubt that the iSonic (for instance in comparison with a similar size Fanatic) planes a little later. The joy of the board comes at the top end when it remains...

8-10 knots - you don't need the 145

12-14 knots - you don't need the 145

RE: What is your fastest 2 Sec GPS with an 8.5?
From experience I would suggest that doing 32 knots on a hyper is pretty good! In fact, it is my firm believe that this board does not go much faster. I used to own one, and it had a definite top...

RE: iS145 vs. iS133 in 8-14kts 7.5-9.5 sails?
Bottom line - at your weight with those sails, you do not need the iS 145. I have a 133 and from a slalom perspective that is the biggest I would go. The 145 seems IMHO more related to the previous...

RE: Board/sail combo for gusty flat water sailing
