What's your weight?
Hello Manuel
You've already given me very good advices about this topic. The issue is that you and most of the people have tested 85-95 litres boards of this kind, and in my case, as I also have other small wave boards (77/84 litres, 70 kg), I want to have another big one (105-110) specialised in float & ride in very light winds and confortable in terms of shlogging and uphauling.
I've found some 2017 boards in good condition, xwave, ultrakode or freewave kode, but the reviews of the magazines are completely different testing the same model. I guess one of the possible reasons is that each magazine tests a different size of each model, and oftenly the big sizes are designed differently from the smaller ones, in the same model. The german surf magazin even says the wave performance of the ultrakode is almost the same as the kode freewave for 100 litres size.
The problem is I can't test these boards on my own so I have to trust other information sources.
The features I appreciate more for this board is stability, wavesailing turn and planning, in this order.
Thanks.
