I have a 144 Starboard Carve - a mint board in great condition. Because it's 2007 vintage I'm tempted to buy a new freeride board, I'm just not feeling it for a short wide board ('slimmer models' look nicer!) even though it practically may be the best option, especially considering I mainly sail in flatish water. My current board is 78cm wide and really like the 2015 121 Carve which is 72cm wide but will this make a noticeable difference in light wind conditions?. Haven't really tried other boards and a bit difficult to, but when the wind is all but 16knts or under I feel 78cm is too wide and gets increasingly unmanageable as wind picks up. Views welcome.
