At your weight, you should consider the largest of the Shinn model.

Thats what Mark Shinn replied to me also. But isnt it to big, i dont need a lightwindboard! With my Jaime Pro L i am planing with the same size kite as friends of my who are 20 kgs lighter. Only when its below 14 knots i have more difficulty to stay upwind.

We will be getting the Nobile boards here at
http://www.gokitesurf.com. Sorry they are not on the site yet. They will be in the next day or two. We have had demos of the 07 555 and 666 for well over a month. The boards are very impressive and have changed the way we look at the rest of the 07 boards. If we can help in any way or answer any questions let us know. We will have the boards listed on the site shortly.

That is what I am wondering, too. I decided to get the 133x42 and I am a litte worried that I should have gone for the 130x40. I am 94 kilos and also want to use the board for waveriding and strong wind condtions. I am not sure, what the advantages are of the 130x40 compared to the 133x42. Is there a big difference regarding handling, control and maneuverability?
Any opinions or experiences anybody? Thanks in advance!

I have not tested the Shinn yet but we have tested the 666. Nobile recommends testing one size larger than you would normally ride. I am did this with the 666 and it worked great. I got better low end and the board was still very comfortable and controllable in powered up conditions. The Shinn model is suppose to be the same way.
Also, most of the Nobile Boards are up on the site now.
