Hey Russh,
Ive been using a Grind 6.2 for a couple of years now. Im slightly heavier than you and it has truckloads of power for the conditions you describe.
Its a 00' model. Been through pretty much everything and still going strong.
The others you could suss out would be NP search in similar sizes.
Hope this helps.

i have a 6.5 expression and it fits exactly what you want. i can get planing in 10 knots with my 100L jp freestyle. i am only light but a bit of pumping would get you going. they are also designed to be tough enough for use in the waves but i havent tried.

Hey Russh,

I have a 2005 6.2m Neil Pryde Search that's in really good condition which I'm selling. This is made for a 430 mast but needs a long extension. These have heaps of bottom end power and are great in the waves too in light winds. I'm also 88kgs and this is my biggest sail and easily gets me planning in 15knots on a 100L board. Let me know if you're keen, I reckon it would be perfect for what you're after.

Cheers,
Fletch

The Severne S2 had one of the strongest tests i have ever read in a sail review -

go to www.severnesails.com/ and search for it (you may have to go to previous years archives)

It was a favourite of the Starboard test team for tweaking smaller freeride and larger wave cross over boards - so lots of good feedback from sailor of a very high calibre- it was one of those sails that everyone just seemed to really like.

It'll Freestyle no problems

And should deliver some good bottom end as long as you dont choke it. Dont be shy of rigging sails with a bit less downhaul to tighten up the leash - and even go as far as letting the sail touch the boom - experiment, keep an open mind and you will be surprised at how much bottom end you can get - most crew have all their stuff way overtensioned in light air.

I believe Ben Severne won the Nationals in SA in 2004 on an S2 - while the rest of the pack was just floating around

S2- i'd say to Snap one up if you can get it cheap!

Top thread guys

well you would want to get a cross over if you want to use it in small waves, low wind, but still get plenty of power when needed, and be able to release the power when needed, dont get a cam as you said, '

for me, i use a superfreak 5.8 for my ligth wind days, but im only 65kg, for my dad he uses a 6,3 superfreek.and his around 90kg the great thing about the superfreak is that, it is stable, great power, and lets the power out for bottom turns, etc, but what i love about it is that it is so stable you can rig it up for conditions like 13 knots and still be using it in 25 knotts, just dont want to water start. if you read my other posts on these sails it will become aparent im obsessed with them, but i think it more of the fact, they are the best, and i think if more people got on them they would last so much longer.

ok for the board sizes, in light wind i my prefrence of board for my 5.8 is a 100 ltre feestyle and for my dad on a 6.3 it is also the freestyle so i have to use it on a 85litre wave, but i dont like that board so i use it on my 69litre wave, with a oversized fin,.

a few things me and dad have noticed about these sails, the 6.3 can give the same power as his old 7.5 and still be stable, the 5.8 can give the same power as a 6.5 and still be stable, but whats better when the are rigged for power they are more stable than the 6.5 and 6.5 when rigged proply.

for me i like to much around with trying to get jumps i get dumped around on the sand bar, and these sails really will not break, so if you want a sail that will outlast your board, a super freek is the way

and also you can use this sail for freestyle, so thats a plus, but probaly want somthin like a 5,3 for that.

hope this is what you where after,
go to the www.hotsailsmaui.com/ site and go have alook at the freak out forum all about the superfreek and everyones opinions on them

i'm still looking for a 6.2 - 6.5 wave/bump n jump to fit on 430 skin pwerx....can't decide on anything......hmmmm maybe the S2 might be worth a pop...any suggestions

Hi Mike,
not even sure where you can get Simmer sails in downtown adelaide - they use to stock them at OnBoard but not any more - its all Pryde, Gaastra or North with Maui trying to establish a foot hold

where do they stock them in WA or Vic NSW

Russh

Onboard still supporting Gaastra and there are somegood prices on 2007 models. Best low end is the Matrix without cams. Nearly as good and very fast is the 6.4 Remedy. What mast have you got?

I use a severne S2 6.4m for lighter days on my mistral 103 syncro. It has got good low end power unlike what the ncx is suposed to have. Have't used the ncx, just what I have been told. S2 sets quite full and soft. good to pump the board on the plane. I also rig it on a 430 powerex rdm. and has quite short boom for a 6.4.
dave.

OK I think you will have no problem with the mast but a 6.4 would normally go on a 460.

Yes the 6.4 Remedy also goes on the 430 but we are out of them now! you could see if onboard has one from last year. The 08 is due next week.
