I am 65kg rider, i windsurf at a place where there is 16-22 kts and i bought it for bump and jump conditions. Its choppy where i windsurf.
What are your thoughts on the board?
Will i be satified for my purchase?

At your weight I think you have the wrong board. I think you would be much happier on the FW STB 85. The FW STB will plane quicker & be less of handfull on the upper end at your weight. The Stubby is a fun board for sure but I think favors heavier sailors trying to get the most from onshore wave conditions.

Since you already bought it - enjoy it! I had a lot of fun in Bump & Jump on the 82 & 76 on fully wound 4.2.... just thinking that for a 65kg guy in those winds there are better choices. If you really like to play with the chop & not just sail back & forth, you will like it. But if back & forth blasting with a jump or two is your idea of fun & you favor comfort & control, then you might not be happy.
