Hi everyone,
I am not an experienced wave sailer and I am looking for the most suitable board for all conditions I find. I am 82 Kgs using in average 5m2 sail but also 5,8m2 down to 4.0m2 mostly in choppy conditions but sometimes also 1-1,5 mt waves for jumping and surfing (I try). I need help for choosing among the boards I have (need only slight repair) - Drops Slash 88, or - F2 Maui Projet M (94lt) and the boards I could buy now: - RRD FSW 95 (2009) or - Naish wave pro 95 (2007-8). Any suggestions? Are the first two boards good enough for an intermediate surfer or buying a newer concept board is it really muche easier to improve myself? Which board? Thanx!

Maui Project - very fragile
Slash - too rockered (waveboard, not FSW)
Naish wave pro - same, too rockered (waveboard, not FSW)
RRD - good construction and is is a FSW but 95L is pretty big for you

As per Mark, I think the RRD is the way to go, but the 85 / 84 litre would be much better for those conditions / your weight / the sail sizes mentioned.
Both that and a JP FSW 84 would be great for riding over chop as most years both boards have plenty of double-concave. The JP FSW is fantastic at jumping and I imagine that the RRD would be similarly good.
They're not going to be epic wave boards, but they'll certainly get you out there so you can have some fun.
