I don't ride (86 kg) in 30 plus even on a 7 Fuel........not much fun really....maybe on a 5.
There are so many sad testosterone males on in this sport who are the big mouths on the forum...agreed Gerard, keep it real for the sake of the impressionable.
It's true....I am going to get out there and claim to have ridden in over 30 knots quite a few times. I'd say many, in fact. The simple truth is that it isn't a lot of fun. You have to be very careful which gets tedious after a while, but more importantly, the spray off the water really HURTS. A lot. I suppose windsurfers are used to this but it was a rude shock to me the first few times...
So, in my opinion; people who bang on about riding in 30knots or more and say they like it are either liars or laminated in shellac.
