Hey Joelz


I used to ride this size in the XCal. Such a perfect size for your weight I reckon. At 85kgs I think I actually preferred the 138 but for you this will be spot on. The board has great pop, rides quickly, and doesn't land very hard for a board of this nature (stiff, wide tips). Upwind is obviously exceptional and the 141 actually has a wider stance option for tall guys. Hope you enjoy!


Cheers

I'm 85kg and I had the 2014 135x41. It's a really fast board and has heaps of pop and is epic in flat water. Landings are soft as well.

However, take it anywhere other that flat water and be prepared to feel every bump on the water. Extremely uncomfortable in sloppy or choppy conditions.

For this reason I traded it in as i only wanted one board for many locations. Ended up getting a monarch..

If your freestyle / wake dedicated then this is is def worth considering

Another vote for the xCaliber. 75kgs intermediate rider. Moved to a 136 xCaliber from a 144 Chopstick and the improvement in upwind ability, speed, maneuverability and precise feel has been amazing. Progression has improved enormously. They are a bit harder on old knees like mine, but you just tend to ride around the chop more. Love it!!
