board quiver

kvda · 8th July 2008, 12:29 PM

Want to add one last board to my quiver, but are in doubt witch one.
I own a F155, isonic 125 and futura 101. The board to buy needs to be able to carry a 4.5 -5.4; the 6.2 I can handle on the futura 101.
The board to buy has to got control as main factor, because I will sail it in high winds on a choppy lake. Thinking about a Kombat (87) or Kode 2009, but other suggestions are welcome.

I think you're right on track with Kombat (or Kode). It depends a bit on your weight, but 87 or even the next smaller size would do it. I'm 70 kg and 5.3 or 5.5 is very nice on both the K79 and K87, but in powered up 4.5 winds I prefer the 79. If you're heavier and if you sail primarily flat water you could go for the 87.
