Im going to buy a light wind board soon to help get going in these crappy winds that are on us..
all the big brands have a lwind boards
just wanting some feed back on them ..

Im looking at the airush exile or nobile 666.
i weigh 84kg and have a crossbow 16m ..

I can get going on my Underground 152 in about 8-10 knots with my Psycho 13m with no one else able to stay upwind. It's a great board and doesn't start to get "too big" until about 12 knots. Mine's the 2006 double concave version.

A custom 'underground'

A custom 'Cardboard'

slingshot glide, amazing, i have one for sale cheap if you want one 0410599527, in sydney

Just had a custom light wind board made by Cardboards. It ended up being 146 x 45cm but you can have any size, flex, rocker etc you want. Im 83kg. I tried a whole heap of other light wind boards out first but this one turned out to be the best by far. I rang them and got a whole heap of advice re what was best for my requirements. They were super friendly and helpful to deal with. It was delivered to my doorstep in about a week. Got to choose my own graphics and colours etc and the board looks awesome !!! Have only ridden it about 3 times now and absolutely love it. It only ended up costing $850. The quality looks spot on and apparently they are really good for warranty etc. I liked the idea of supporting and Aussie made product as well. I live in Sydney. If your in the area, you're welcome to try it out.

PS: I'm not a pimp, I paid full price and it's my first Cardboard... I'm just really stoked with it.

best chubby or protoy exile, i had 2 use the exile to hunt my board down and that thing machines upwind!!! i kited from whitfords beach to pinaroo (with my board in hand) after finding it and made it up in a ssw in around 4 tacks! 2 out n 2 in.. those boards are so nice to ride when it gets stronge ru can still jump with it and pin down a little load

i'm 87 kgs on the SB2 '07 16 m and i find that the 5'11" north rocketfish is great for light wind with the wind 14+knots , or downwind ,only, when lighter.

i looked at a dedicated light wind board, but found the surf board fulfilled 2 roles- light wind and waves.

to go even lighter winds- the spleene door , like tobes said, and with a speed 17 flysurfer. ($$$$ though)

Slingy glide wit bindings, its gold jerry
