How about the 2012 Goya 1 104 ltr Any riders of the 2012 model I think I have narrowed my choice of those two. The RRD and the Goya

I have the Goya one 85 and it is the best board I ever owned, it planes super early iam sure you can go one size down...104 is massive I changed all my gear to GoYa and could not be happier, the sails and boards are amazing. Good luck

The characteristics you mention are predomantly fin dependent. The 2012 rrd freestyle wave is a an excellent platform that will not disappoint. I would suggest this board to all my friends as a must have

In regards to the fin it applies to all single fins, the more you have to try with it the better, and the reason why we have so many fins here in western Australia, especially safety bay we have seaweed and Lots of it

Simple jsnfok, you break it, we replace it...... Being predominantly a slalom sailor, I'm usually on the Cross-Fire, but in Cocos I love to go out on the FSW's, as, whilst still having plenty of speed, they're really a fun board , great to fang around on, no matter what fin! Cheers. Jez

Ya the problem is we are a little island away from the windsurfing world where it takes 3 months to get a replacement board.

Guess there sometimes is a price that we have to pay for the pleasure of living in this isolated island. Normally, a warranty claim that resulted in a replacement would be replaced from stock,unless of course a model has sold out, then replacement could take time. Same problems apply to any other brands over here. Jez
