Greetings All,

I'm going on a couple of trips in the comming months and hopeing to get a lot of time on the water. I'm 80 kg's, just breaking the upwind barrier, ( well, breaking it one week, then slamming into piers downwind the next ) and I've been using a Stonker 134. What would be the smallest size board that I could take on the trips to play/experiment with for fun.

I'm a snowboarder and with the Stonker 134 I feel that once I get my kite skills in check, the Stonker might be a bit of a dog for toeside moves. I'd hate to get O/S, improve rapidly( positive thinking ) and regret not taking a smaller board as well.

Hi Dops,

The board you are riding should be fine but it depends heavily upon the strength of wind you are likely to encounter and the water conditions. If it's nukin' take a smaller board, but if it's lighter take a wider one.

You won't outgrow your board in a couple of weeks, especially not a 135. A good rider can make anything look sweet and hum a tune.

Good winds,

Hey Doppleganger,

Your stonker is fine.

don't worry be happy.

Anyway you need to listen those women who keep telling you all the time that size doesn't matter.

Pigs, Puppies, guns.

there's a metaphor in there somewhere.
