I just saw an interesting board for a good price. A 2006 DRAM 135 iSonic. Right now I sail a F2 Stoke 127 and I just sold a Rio M 2010 which I bought for my kids (unfortunately they don't like windsurfing). I liked the Rio for it's size (like iSonic also 80 cm) and nice jibing etc. but for me it's just too heavy.

I am considering the iSonic 135 now. Though I have been sailing for some years and am able to sail in foodstraps etc. I don't consider myself an advanced windsurfer.

All I want is nice cruising on a lake nearby. I want early/easy planing and nice jibing. I am not sure this is the right board for me though. (but honestly I still am in love with the looks of the board LOL)

I weigh 75kg. and my biggest sail is a North S-Type 8.4.

Any suggestions? Should I try it or is it better to look elsewhere?

Btw. I plan to go and get this board tomorow so...

Best regards,

André
