On the best days: 80kg, 76lt
On the others: 80kg, 94lt

summer? 88kgs 80 litre twin or 84 single

83 kegs

80 l - waves
94 l - slalom / river
125l - light wind ocean grooving

the gap is getting bigger

not good

86 kg - 80 litre waveboard with a VERY fast rocker - despite being medium heavy i am usually the first guy planing through the break. I learned to windsurf in singapore where light wind pumping is key.

holds a Gator 6.0 that i love to set full in light air - semi tight leach and heaps of spring - keeps driving through the bottom turn. I'd use a 6.5 if i had one.

I'm usually having fun in the surf before the kitesurfers.

I'm thinking the 4 fin board that runs this rockerline is going to be NUTS for lightwind.

I use down to 3.7 on the same board - i never have to decide which board to use.

I had a 95 litre fish that was absolute gold on the 10- 15 knot days...

I weigh about 65-70kgs.
Just like Reflex I have an 86L Fish and can be out wavesailing in 15 knots on a 5.7m.
I also have a 76L Fish which I use occasionally use in 15-20 knots on a 5m.
But the last couple of years Ive been riding a 70L board in anything from 18-30 knots with either a 5m, 4.5m or a 4m.

should start a new threat called what type of wavesailor are you:



perhaps some people now understand my argument re what market do the team riders represent...

I guess I am very much on the right hand side of this picture. Perhaps that's the reason why the sails designed with the help of Antoine seem to work so well for me. I wish other manufacturers would get this into their heads.

73kg: 75L waveboard.
Good single board for all wind strengths in the surf, but it's unnecessarily big in strong wind. So I'd also like a 60-65L board. (See Wanted ad.)

106kg.

For slalom/speed...
120L - 15-20K
93L - 18-25K
75L - 25K+

Waves...
Custom Stoney...circa 105L.

this picture smells of cheese

I'd have to agree with you there... I am actually quite surprised how lame the JP web site is. They managed to create decent print brochures... but as far as the web site is concerned it's very uninspiring and in my opinion doesn't represent the brand.

68kg---75l single

72 kilos

Last season: 70 liter Evil twin (72 liter in real life) and 67 liter smaller version of it.

Now: Mostly 76, 71 and 66 Quad

But volume is not all. The ET70 fx, is a sick schlogger

I'd like to be as fit as any one of these 3 guys, but JP's body looks all bent out of shape.. and didn't realise Kauli was that short..
