G'day all,
I'm heading to Phuket in November and hoping to get reacquainted with the sport. I plan on getting a couple of lessons and then hire some good rigs to help decide which board and rig to buy when I get home. I'm having trouble finding a sailboarding school where I can improve on modern gear. Most of the shops and schools focus on winging and kiting. Does anyone know where I might find what I need in south Phuket? Sunny Coast board sports have recommended a JP magic ride 149 with NP speedster 7.2 camless sail. I weigh 100kg and learnt the basics in Boracay a couple of years ago. Please share your thoughts on this rig, given my limited experience. I really wanted to hire something similar in Phuket to get an idea before I commit to purchasing. Your collective knowledge and experience would be most welcome.
Cheers
QLD

I don't know anything about Phuket just that the hotel I stayed at the wave took it ,but the best way to advance is to have your own gear ,I agree with the SCB suggestion s on gear .sizes .If you can find a 7.0 Ezzy Chetah they are more robust and won't get damaged as much when you fall .
