Hi,

I'm looking for a board in the 100-105 litre range, to be used in approx 15 to 20 knots in the Bay.
(When the wind is stronger then this, I'll hop onto my JP FSW 84L)
I am looking for a board that can carry my biggest freeride sail which is 7.0.
Other sizes in my sail quiver are 4.7 5.2 and 5.9. Planning to use the 5.9 on both boards.

So far I've been selecting:
A_ JP Allride 105L (but get a bigger fin with this)
B_ SB Futura 101L
C_ Tabou Rockett 105L.

Most important for me is a confortable and controllable ride. Speed is nice too but being in control is a touch more important to me.
I'm not to much into technical tricks. Just wanna blast and gybe and further fine tune my gybes. My level is intermediate I guess...
Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys,

Job

The Futura is a bit more towards the slalom end of the freeride market (aka freerace). If blasting with comfort and control is your criteria a straight freeride like the Carve, Rocket or Allride. Every brand does something similar and these days it would be hard to find a dud. Want more comfort/control .. go a FSW board, want more speed.. go a freerace (Supersport, Futura etc). Note that most will have powerbox fin box, some will have tuttle.

Good one! Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

back again...

I've sailed the Allride for one season now and I'm stoked with it.
Ideal board for Port Phillip Bay with 20knots

Cheers,
