07 evo v`s prokids evo

ka360 · 18th March 2009, 05:55 PM

hi,my 7 year old(25kg) learnt on a starsurfer and is now planing in the straps and harness on a prokids s-type 70,he has now done his first 10 proper deep waterstarts.when the wind is above about 22 knot the board seems too big and is becomming a handfull . he has no problems with nearly 30 knots as long as he sails in places with superflat water(speedsailing conditions)
30 knots in most places is very choppy and the s-types low short nose makes it too difficult (but both mum and dad steal it and love it)he copes fine an dads 65 wave board but with a wide foot stance ,he looks a bit awkward
he needs a smaller board with more nose rocker,for high wind strengths.
locally there is an evo 62 for sale at a great price,the evo 62 and prokids evo have the same measurements
are there any differances in these boards?(straps,weight,mast track)
or should i get an acid or flare(near impossible to get locally,east coast australia)
please advise me

Yes. Everything except construction is the same. So also the regular EVO 62 has the possibility to mount the straps tighter and the track a bit further back.

The weight will differ a bit though. The wood model and the Prokids are pretty much the same, but the "grown up" dram/techora is a bit heavier.
