Hello,
I want to build a board that I can use in every condition. From 10kn up to somewhere arround 25kn. My weight is 60kg
The board that i'm gonna build is 135*38, 3cm rocker and 6cm fliptips and it's 20mm thick. I also ordered 4 Bump and Jump G10 fins(75mm), are they to big, I can still change the order in 60mm fins. And the rail? Sharp or round?
Please help me because I don't know what to do anymore.
C YA
Sam

I use a Vari pro 138 (138x38) at 85kgs from 10-25knts no problem, think those fins might be a bit big though, depends what your used to. The board will hold a good edge but will not slide around much.

The board I have now is a Kitech TT168*42, still my beginners board so it's time to change.
With a 9m² kite in +25 weather I've got a hard time holding ground, it just isn't fun.
I know that I can hold the board in 25 kn but I'm affraid that i wil not go upwind in 10kn because it's (to) short. Shall I make it wider then 38cm or is this OK
Also, what would be the windrange of a Zenith 13m², the Windtech site claims a 10-25kn windrange. Could this be? I don't think I can go upwind with this kite in 10kn.
Thnx
Sam
