Hi,
I have not sailed for quite a while and want to get back into it. I am putting gear together, but need a board and not sure the right size, don't want to get caught out with a board too small (done this in the past!). Skills: can't waterstart yet, learning to use a harness and foot straps. Sail is new Neil Pryde 6.2. Board: I used to sail an old Bombora 292, about 160L I think. I am looking at the Kinetic 135L advertised in Seabreaze (SA), but am not sure if this will be too much of a jump as I need to uphaul. Advise I am getting is that it should be ok (I'm about 88kg), and I should grow into the board. Unfortunately I don't have the opportunity to try the board first. I was initially looking for 150L (like a Go or something) but not having much luck in the second hand department. Mainly lake sailiing, fresh water. Any advise would be great!
Thank you in advance

Great, thanks! I do like a challenge, and it is a nice wide board so should be stable. Thanks for the reply =)

Thanks for the reply, that has helped make the decision. Appreciate taking the time to respond,
Cheers!

Im 92 kgs and used to up haul on a 130 ltr, was a tad wobbly, you just tend to wanna learn to water start faster, if you want to learn to water start make sure its really windy so you get the feel. Drag ya bum, have straight arms, let the wind lift you up and stay low until powered up.

Dont worry you will know what I mean. It's a good thing

Cheers
