I recently did a windsurfing course and I'm looking to buy a board. I'm not looking to do any wave jumping or anything like that; I'm just wanting to buy a good board to start with which will I won't grow out of too quickly. I live in the south of Sydney so I'm intending to stay around Botany Bay, Georges River and Port Hacking. I'll need a board that will take 100kg. The Fanatic Viper 85 has my interest but I would appreciate any advice. dj.

Hey Sam. I have a Starboard Go 180 (old one) that I have been riding for a bout a year now, still loving it and improving each time I ride, however.... What do you think I should step up/down to? I rode a JP 125 Free Race earlier this year and really loved it however my wife has a JP Xcite 110 and it would seem a little silly buying somehting so close to her board. What do you think?

cheers Sam, I will have to hire a couple of those suggestions and give them ago. Many thanks,
Great avo at Botany Bay today, I am stuffed but smiling like a school boy. I had a pretty long bash on my wives 110 with a 4.7 and man thats a whole bunch quicker than the old Go.
