Thierry, the F Type 138 was not really discontinued this year, look at the iSonic 145, its shape is nearly the same, except maybe for some more volume, the same for F Type 148 that became iSonic 155. I now have the F Type 148 and find it much easier in the gusts than my old Formula 175.Of course it was the purpose of its softer shape and short nose...Of course it points less high (no boxy rails) but for me so much more fun in the "pétole" because much more control and better in maneuvers,
Regards,
Fred
