I am planning in getting one of those to get more sailing time. I am close to 100kg can someone tell me if it would be big enough, I won't go racing just fun sailing in 10 to 15 knot wind. I have an Isonic 133 for those (fewer and fewer) windy days.

Im not an expert however some of the old starboard formulas had deck issues. Not sure of models. However in saying this a board that is 8 years old and still going clearly doesnt have the issue.

I have the 136 Formula and love it.

When you get yours, I will come sailing with you.

I will let you know!

What about the weight volume ratio? good or sinking?

Had a 147, i was 100kg and it floated no problems at all and that was with a 9.5 rs slalom, if wind dropped you could just stand and wait for next gust

Does that mean I have to rig up my 10m and learn to sail again. (With a gps strapped on)

Yes, but you could just use a normal set up on your standard kit
