Hello all,

Just looking for some advice on board size, I use a 102 FSW and 83ltr real world wave. Im starting to find the 83 a little bit big in 20+ 4.7- weather. Ive seen a few 76 litre boards about but Im thinking it maybe a little bit to close in size to the 83. Advice please

My wife tells me its not size that matters its the motion of the ocean. Hope that helps.

what weight are you? I have a 91 lt RWW which gets a bit bouncy in flatwater/ bump n jump
but 61 width is easy planing. I'm low 80 kg's.

maybe a starboard kode or equiv. single fin, unless you have the $ for a fanatic thruster &
want waves only. personally I'd aim for 80 lt mark.

83 to 76 doesn't seem like much in theory, it's when the boards are side/side you can really
see where the volume/shaping is different.
