Hey there
looking to get a new set of sails. I own a hypersoncic 133 and a carve 99 (probaly replace the carve with someting around the 84lt mark mid season). I would like some input on what sails to get I was thinking something like the below. I come in at 80kg ish. I have heard that sticking to one brand and or one model type is benefical
Tushy Lighning 7.8 (HYPER Swan River)
Tusushy Lighning 6.5 (HYPER, Carve Swan and Saftey Bay)
Storm 5.8 (Carve)Saftey Bay
storm 5.0 (Carve)Saftey Bay
Cheers

Although I haven't sailed the tush's with you're board and weight I would change the sizes a little- since you are on a big board get slightly bigger sails:
Tush Lightning 8.5
Tush Lightning 7.0
Storm 5.75
Storm 5.0
or if you don't want to go that big go a little smaller will suit you're new 84L a bit better (unless you sail very light winds I'd go this way):
Tush Lightning 7.8
Tush Lightning 6.5
Tush Storm 5.5
Tush Storm 4.75
The gap between cam'd and non cam can be a little further apart as the Lightning should be stable enough till you change down and the storm should have good bottom end. If you dont have masts or booms to fit then go with you're original choice I reckon.

Thnks for that the second option makes more sense for the strong summer sea breezes over here. Thanks for your advice
