I'm looking to buy this board, 90Kg and like to ride not too powered up for freeriding, old school and waveriding (my other board is North Whip), 35 to 20knots. Normally I would not buy a 44x135 board, but if someone like Shinn says I should (in his website...) , I'd like to get some experience from other Dundee owners! Thanks

I'm about your size and own a Whip & Dundee. Since the Whip can also be used in light winds, I'd say get the Dundee in the 42 size.

Get the 133x42 or bigger. I ride the 133 at 165#/~75kg and find that since it is an amazing wave board it doesnt have quite the low end as you might think. I am contemplating about selling my 135x44 monk and getting another dundee to replace it as i love it that much. My feeling is you will get more use out of the 135 at your weight, also it is as smooth as silk for me while riding 30mph+ so you dont need to worry of going to big on these boards. just my opinion-good luck!

Need advise from Shinn masters...
Im debating from 2013 Dundee 135x44 & Gintronic 136x42

Im 160 lb, looking for semi-light wind / everyday board with 13.5m Kohoona for 11~15 kts so i can leave Fat Lady & Glide home and travel light overseas.
Low end & effortless upwind that can also rideable gusty 18 ish kt is what i want
I do mostly freeride in chop.
I know getting bigger board for Shinn seems waste but i need that low end.
44 cm width on Dundee seem promising for low end, just afraid it may feel bit skatey for my weight on sub 18 kt.
Which one should. I go with ??

Gintronic is good board for light wind and i was on 41 wide.

42 is a solid choice for you.

90kg is prbably 44 wide, but if you have light wind options, and you ride medium to fast speeds then the 42 will do fine.. I'm 83 and do like the 42 but will use smaller as well.

160lb (72kg) is light..
129 x 39.4
131 x 41

would be my call for an allround board. The 42 will go extremely early, but at 72kg you may prefer more control when you have power.. If you are going to use this board in power with speed and want to enjoy it then I would go 41.. but if you need majority lightwind ability then 42, but 44 would be too far I feel..
