LWR or HWR????????????

stv · 26th October 2009, 07:28 AM

Hi, posting this because I have no idea of what board fits better for me. Im an 85 kg guy and I sail on a very choppy lake , between 8 to 20 kts.. I like the 160 style more than 162 style. The LWR seems better to me but Im afraid that is to "small" for me or having a bad performance on light winds. What do you think Remi or pro guys about this.. regards

Hi Stv,

If you like the 160, imagine it's the same board with a lot more glide and acceleration with less power demand for your back leg. It's the faster one in down wind and easier. If you have hard choppy water that will be the easier one. This one will be more easier than the HWR who is already more easier than the F162.

Hope this help, but if you have more questions don't hesitate.

All the best
