Anybody got any advice -90kg's (fluctuates) for 20+knts when we have some waves or for when its 25-30knts.

Got a 05 92 Evo wood -hardly ever sail it (lack of waves) and it's too close to 98 Freewave but don't like it with a 4.2

Anyone ridden both.

Cheers, RussH

Go the Evo,
I have the 90 and 100 lt 08 Evos.
Previously I had several wave cults and waveswallow but prefer the Evos on the wave. Much more forgiving and maintains speed on the wave even if you are not in the right spot.
The floatation of the Evos is good too compared with the same volume in the rrd's,they are easy to bog out on a low wind day.
I am 92 kgs at the moment.
Evos are not overly quick on the plane but for waveriding they are great.
I had a go on the New 80lt evil twin last weekend just in the bay but it was good fun and still surprisingly floatly for a small board(for me that is).
The NSWWA has a demo evil twin for its members to try, it seems to be getting good feedback.
P.S
I am not sponsored by anyone so I don't have to push any products.

Thanks for that Roberto a bit to consider.

With no waves and wind no >20knts lately - buying a small wave board might just be an expensive excercise in dust collection!

Have ridden the 83 Lt (?) wave cult in both bump and jump and down the line.
Very forgiving board with a well rounded feel to it.
From memory they came standard with a Maui Fin Co carbon fin... the fin is the schizel (the best fin produced by MFC in my opinion)

Pretty early to plain for wave board but well controlled and well mannered in the waves.
All up a pretty cruisey wave vehicle if you are looking to get into the waves and increase your wave count !
Damn fine board to jump as well

PS - I am in the 95 kilo range

Thanks for responses. Got the 84 RRD today - just gotta wait for some wind and waves
Thanks Stephan for coming down to Botany with the board .

Sydney is certainly an eye opening place at xmas time - and busy is an understatement.
