Hi there.
Which of those 2 would suit best for light winds 10/12 - 16 knots mostly in sea with small waves and some chop.
For me at the begining x-over was the thing what i would like to have, but then reading more reviews i find it that it is wave orientated, so how about light winds? Board should go nice in chop and have a good light wind option, good upwind and carving.
Sizes available for both 135x40, my weight 72kg, kite 14 m2.

Maybe it is better to go for used one:
CARVED imperator III custom 136cm 2009 i guess
or
Crazy Fly Bulldozer 135cm 2008


Which one could be better in choppy conditions, but also good in light winds?

tts built for light wind dont share characteristics with boards that are good in the chop. Its usually one or the other.

I don't know the boards you mentioned. My advice get one of each type or just get a good "allrounder".

In airush x over review it is mentioned that it is good in all weather conditions, but is it so?

Sometimes it is the best to try board, but in this i case i need to order to get it.
What is the light wind? 5-7 m/s ?
What could be upper limit for the board like this:

weight 72kg, 14m2

Could airush x-over 135x40 could be good allrounder?
For light winds 5/6 m/s with small waves to 8-10 with bigger waves +some chop?
Or it is the job for 2 boards?
