The board will probably make the largest difference. Just carrying it down the beach will be more enjoyable. So I'll say board. Hard to look past a lift 150x though. :) I wouldn't be mad at you if you went that way. Deals on used 170 ha's should also be widely available. So keep an eye out for those.
thanks..
. I hear great stuff about that 150x, but imagine that would be a stretch for my skills Well, just to show I don't know sh!t...the board I wanted is backordered for a few months, and the guy I talked to a Big Winds thought the Lift 150 HA X would actually be a good move, so I somewhat nervously went for it.
What a blast!...faster, and after a minute, much easier/predictable carving than the Surf 250 V2, just seemed more refined all around. I was using my foil drive, so we will have to see how much more work it is to get up with just the wind and a wing...
