hello everyone, im looking at a get a new board but not size if a 94L board is good for me, my weight 74Kgs. im an intermediate windsurfer just learning to jibe but the board i have is abit old fastion.
some would be much appreciated thanks

freestyle wave or even a small freestyle board, seeing as your in safety bay

A larger one would help you learn the basics .. say 95 - 105ltres. Although it would take alittle more imput to turn it would be more forgiving on the exits and may allow you to wobble out of an iffy one.

the board im looking at get it a F2 Maui Project - 257 cm, 94 litres or i also found 2006 RRD Freestyle Wave Fsw - 246 cm, 101 litres although the F2 is closer to every i live but i just want the best board for me.
the board i currently have is a bombora 295

I had a Bombora, and my first successful gybe was on it, but it took a while
It's good that you are upgrading.

I had a Fanatic Shark, and now have an F2 FSW and I find them very intermediate friendly. A larger JP FSW (110-115) would also be good, without discounting other brands/models which I haven't tried.

Size wise, I would go with what Windxtasy said if you can wait.

The F2 is a pure wave board and not good to learn gybing - turns easy but not maintaining speed thru the turn. Plus it is quite narrow compared to modern boards.

The RRD FSW would be perfect sze and style (FSW's are the way to go for gybing) but if you saw it on here it is gone sorry. Was mine...

^^^^
Gaz, sorry I did not notice - this is a F2 "Maui Project Style" (I assume we are talking the one in WA buy and sell?)

Danial said "Maui Project" which is indeed a pure waveboard.
If it is the Maui Project STYLE then yes it is a FSW or older freestyle of some description and would be good.

I maintain that a FSW will be a way better option for learning to gybe than a waveboard. Freeride / slalom is fast but not loose, waveboards turn great but won't hold speed thru a gybe like a faster rockers board.
FSW in the middle are just sooooo nice to gybe

Daniel sorry if any confusion was caused but you need to be careful posting what model you are asking about
