Hey lads what's a good board for an intermediate?
im 73kg, 175cm, can tack, gybe water start etc.
Was looking for an allrounder that's decent for straight line sailing, cruising and then having some fun on waves at coronation beach for example.
how many fins, how many litres etc
i've currently got a 145l jb funster and it's been great, but now i'm using bigger sails i'm finding it's still a bit slow.
i'm thinking a free ride might suit but only coz chatgpt told me haha
cheers lads

Sorry but there’s no way you can jump down from 145 to something for wave use.
get a 120 freeride and once you can get around fine on that (planing) then try a 100L FSW in good winds. Then you can try small waves once planing and gibing well on the FSW

Agree on the 120L freeride but it's never too early to get experience in the waves. Find a smaller fin and you can sail it at Coros as long as you stay on the inside. Get used to the swell and little waves are great to learn to jump on the way out.
What size sails are you using?
