Starboard Forums - View Single Post - Downsizing board quiver; and choose between futura or isonic 101s?

Today my board quiver is iSonic 135, RRD X-Fire 115 and a F2 Stoke 95. My Sails are Red Code 8.3 and 6,7 and a Gaastra Matrix 5,5.
But as I don't have a van I would like to go for a two board quiver.

I was planning on replacing the two smaller boards with one. I can get both a futura or an iSonc 101. But from what i can read the futura will be better suited in 5.5 conditions than the isonic? Or is this limit on the isonic only when sailed with racesails? So m question is really, can i sail an isonic 101 comfortable with my matrix 5.5?

I like to sail fast and have sailed slalom boards since the HS 105. I weigh 87kg and sail in coastal/open ocean in Norway.
