Hi All,
I am a begginer trying to make the transition from no planing to planing conditions. I can tack, jibe, use the harness. I do not waterstard, and do not use the foot straps, so no planing. I am somewhat familiar with a shortboard (Naish Kailua 160 ?).
I weigh 84kg (185 lbs) and I sail mostly in 8-12 knots. Sometimes the wind can be 15-20 knots.
This is my first board and I would like to have my kids use it (age 12 & 16).
Which board do you recommend? I was looking for RioM or a JP Funster180. Any other options?
Thank you!
