In some of those spots you might need a weed fin so something to keep in mind.

As a neutral reader, your situation prompts for selling the boat but it sounds you are still trying to find reasons to hold onto it. It's hard to let it go but sell it and hunt for a replacement boat locally. Make sure it fits your situation so you can actually take her out. You can retrofit anything if it doesn't come with your desired features. Keeping it or sailing it to SA seems a stretch.

Upload your video to YouTube, then paste the link to the YouTube video here.

Don't overthink it, even with the best advice in the world it's quite personal so maybe just get something and try it out. Greece has rental centres so you could even try before you buy.

If you're serious about freestyle, get a freestyle board for those sessions. Any other board would be a compromise. Same the other way around for your blasting board. Despite its confusing name, FSW is a good choice for blasting in open water though.

I think maybe even go the JP FSW 94l as I would just keep that board for ever


Unfortunately, build quality is not what it used to be so if you can get a few seasons out a JP nowadays you're lucky.
On the bright side, you can change sizes when that happens ;)

I went to WA once, didn't have time to visit the city as it was windy and sunny every day and the waves were world class. We had so much fun on the water, that by 6pm I just wanted to go to bed and recharge to do it all over again the next day. Had great chats with the friendliest watersports folks on the beach.

Went back to the east coast, no wind for weeks, raining, crappy onshore bumps and I didn't even make it to the beach as the traffic was terrible and there was no park available. Hated it!

There was a demo at Dutchies yesterday. I didn't make it, but others might have more details.

Hmm, so you want to pay for - say - a T-shirt to promote the brand? That's interesting. I'd be happy to promote a windsurfing brand if they give me the shirt for free.

Anyway, if you can't source it from a dealer, you could use a custom print service. The logos are easy to find online.

I'm using '22s and 23's fwiw, both great sails. I like the luff material of the '22 over '23, gives even more range.

Blade. Haven't used a Gator in that size, but can't imagine it beats my Blade 4.5. If you downhaul it with plenty of loose leach, I wouldn't think any other sail is easier to control.

I'd stay away from roller bags when flying as those bags are considerably heavier so you'll loose another kg or 2.

Generally your choice will be limited by what's available if your in Oz.

Also, have you considered renting if available at the destination? I know nothing beats having your own gear, but traveling light is quite nice and the money spent on new bags might cover the first 2 or 3 days of rental.
