Hi all,
I'm 6', 185lbs. Beginner. I mainly windsurf in the Montreal area. In the 15 knots wind range. I just sold my Go 180. Sails: 7.2, 6.4 and a couple below that never get used. I needed something smaller. It's quite choppy here, so the 180 while ok to learn was often too big in those winds. My level is really beginner: I do not waterstart (never had to try), or jibe, but I can plan, get into the footstraps and have plenty of fun! I loved the EVA deck! I loved the security of the big board too. In some spots, you never know where you can end up with the current on the St-Lawrence river? I also have a old 130l (electric rock I think that I never use. I tried it a couple of time, but it's so narrow and unstable compared to the GO...). I had in mind the Go 139 (which I can get at a good price for a 2006 model). I would keep the EVA deck, the deep tuttle fins. But will it still be too big? On the other hand, I do not learn very quickly: season is short in Montreal. Should I increase sail size to get more sailing days and less chop? Should I go with "less beginner friendly" boards? in similar volumes? What do you think? Time to leave the Go range? |
