Haggar QLD 1066 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012, 5:23 pm How about a different size board and sail You want to be able to sail in a wide range on conditions
Windxtasy WA 2664 Posts	Posted 04/08/2012, 5:54 pm That gear sounds OK. I agree with Haggar. I'd go for another sail first, to extend my wind range, and if finances permit, another board. What volume is the board you have and how much do you weigh?

Your board should handle bigger sails no worries. You should be able to pick up larger sails that will rig on your mast. Also consider buying a smaller board if you have the funds. Something like a 120l free ride board.
