just for your infoag73 wrote:I want to expand my wind range and get more days on the water by getting another board, have a TT and a wave board atm.
I've been looking at a few race like boards like the North Free Race, Cabrinha Alias, Cabrinha Transport and RRD K-free Race as options. In combination with my North Dyno 13m with 27m lines, will this type of board get me (75kg - intermediate/advanced skill level) going in winds from 10 knots and upward or how much will I need? I'm looking to get out and ride expedition style with occasional jumps and turns in the archipelagos on the Swedish west coast.
... yep, + 1 for the Sector V2, tottaly agree with naishdude,,,,,,,, sofa cruiser indeed, fastest fun board ever.naishdude wrote:just for your infoag73 wrote:I want to expand my wind range and get more days on the water by getting another board, have a TT and a wave board atm.

I have a 13m Ozone edge 2013 , Free raceboard Airush Sector 60 V2 ( sofa cruiser )
and weigh 82 kg it gets me going and tacking in 10knts.
I had the Sector 60 V4 it even gets you going earlier...but sold it and got a V2 again, as the V4 was too racy /technical, V2 is more fun.
use it for cruising and touring....sounds nice place you have to do this!
dude
Not everyone prefers the freerace over the full raceboard though. I had a 59cm raceboard and now have a 69cm raceboard even though there is no one to race against. I think they are a blast to ride in 10 knots!Peter_Frank wrote:Much more fun IMO, with a freeride than a full raceboard, because of the jumping and trick ability, besides being much more relaxed to ride
The difference will not be noticeable no.ag73 wrote:thanks for all the input, many good points! I'm leaning towards a free race type but must admit davesails7 got me thinking a bit. This board is not the board I'm hoping to use, more of a good to have board. As soon as the wind picks up i will choose my TT or wave board.
I have a windsurfing background so I'm not unfamiliar with riding of the fins so to speak.
Which board will be faster downwind, a big race board or a smaller free race? Will this difference be very noticeable?
