2009 iSonic 86 vs 94

Memoci · 24th September 2008, 04:27 PM

Hi Kevin,
I've been thinking of buying iSonic 94 or 86. I have Tabou Manta 108L. and 6.5 m GTX (and 5.6m Remedy). I'm 66 kg and I surf in Alacati. You know the conditions here very well I watched you this year when you came for PWA. My worry is windy days in Alacati is not so often. Generally 18-22 knots. We dont see 27-30 knots too much. What would you suggest for 18-20-22 knots?
Thanks...

I also would like get your opinion about fins. I read at the forums that drake fins are not so good for the iSonic.

For Alcati I would go with the 94. A bit bigger as it is pretty flat there. I think it will help you out if you get some debiochet fins. They are really good.

Thanks Kevin,
It really helped me. I was thinking the 94 but wasn't sure. Your suggestion made me certain. Thanks for the fin info aswell...

Hi Kevin,
I know that iSonic 94 comes with drake 340. Which fin should I buy for use with 5.6 m. Would 32cm (Deboichet sl4) be allright?

YEah the Deb SL 4 would work great!!

Thanks,
Considering my light weight, I think it would be better to go with SL4 30 cm.

I have ordered the 94. Look forward to use it next season

Great. I would maybe go with 32cm sl4.

I've just read from the ask our team forum that "the SL5 line for the iSonic 87 are really amaising..." What is the difference between sl4 and sl5? and I'm a little bit confused about the size. For my weight and 5.6 m wouldn't 30 cm be better? Thnx..
