Hey, I am a 67kg, 5ft 11 male looking to buy a new board, hopefully a underground FLX. I have 3 SS fuels 04 a 9m, 11m, and 13m and am starting to go up wind. I am also considering getting a cardboard custom. Looking to have one new board for the season. Any one give advice on which board is best and which size to get.
Almost bought the cardboard they were really nice and easy to deal with and I would love to support an Ausi company, but then some cool dude sold me his new FLX for $850, used twice. size is a 132 and its an 06. You can still cheack it out on buy&sell I'm a bit excited hope to be out monday, tuesday wind depending.
Judging by the mean humidity, wind speed, swell, temperature, dew point and pressure for Melbourne over summer I would invest in a board of around 220.56cm's with footstraps exactly 500mm apart. About 8 fins, 5 on the heelside and 3 on the toeside with the heelside fins being 103234532.67nm long and in the shape of a dog and the toeside ones 423234532.67nm long and in the shape of a cat.
I would include 20.24 cms of rocker to account for the ammount of swell and chop, triconcave bottom.
You ask what size board for Melbourne? The same as anywhere else.
hey what size harness do you think I should get for Melbourne
Actually that is more effected by conditions than you think. If its an area with no wind, get a extra large, because you aint gonna be kiting so you'll need to leave some space for the weight you put on from drinking beer.
