Rider: 190 lb. / 86 kg (beginner) Kite 13m Best Bularoo 2010 Style: Freeriding Weather: lighter winds My Comments: I am looking into some boards and want to get some feedback on the shorter / wider boards. I am looking for a board that handles CHOP and can be used in lighter winds, some of the boards I am looking at are the Epic Oxygen 135x47 =$620 Naish Haze XL 138x45 =$609 Spleene RIP 140x45.5 = $780 Nobile XTR 140x46 = $730 I am interested in the capabilities, rocker, pop, and any / information you guys have would be a great help. I have demoed the Epic Oxygen and liked it but don't have a chance to demo the other boards Price really isn't the issue just thought I would add it in for extra information

disclosure I sell them (but I sell them cos I love them) If its a lightwind board with performance you are after try the Shinn King George 140. I havent ridden too many big lightwind boards the past coupkle of seasons but the King George was the first one I have ever ridden which still performed like aTT despite the size. I may well be using the King George 144 in the epic 200Km crossing from Aust to PNG. Comfort and control all in the one pack. (ps Im only 75kg)

also look at the sector range for light winds
