I recently bought a tabou rocket 105 lt. 2011 model. Can u please advise me about the appropriate sail that I should buy? I am an intermediate windsurfer (planning harness-footstraps, waterstarting, tacking and trying to learn the planning jibe). I weight 70 kg.The conditions I usually windsurf is in choppy waters with winds from 15 to 25 knots.

Thx in advance!

For me in that range and I'm 75 kilo, I'd be looking at something in the mid 5's. 5.3 to 5.7?

any freeride sail around 5.5 should get going and improving.

sail calculator says
15 knots - 6.5
20 knots - 4.5
25 knots - 4.0
looks like major range to me
you already have skills - so, depends which winds you experience the most
here it is more 15 to 20 so, i would look at 6-oh
there are rangy sails like Retro - but these are blasty sails
good luck !!!
