Hey all,
I'm an experienced rider looking for a medium-high wind board. (16-28 knots). I weigh 62kg (~137pounds)..
Tried the Skypro in low wind and it was great. I'm not sure it will work for me in high winds, possibly too big ??
Other option right now is the Icon 130. did not have a chance to try.
anybody out there with suggestions ?
Thanks

go for the gaastra I think. it is a graet board for every wind. but just the 136 (red), not the 133 (light blue)....

Also look at the Gaastra Contact 136. Similar design to the Sky Pro but slightly less width. It holds down a lot of power.

Icon 130 if you like progressive wakestyle , powered riding, is also good in the waves as its still quite narrow.
Gaastra if you want more surfy board,or really choppy water. Wouldn't call it an aggressive board and possibly on the big side for a 65 kilo rider. Also check out the DCKiteboards.com player customs. Have it made to your style and weight.
Always choose a board style that matches your wished! riding style
wakestyle
