I competed 1982 - 1990 in Windsurfer One Designs (sailed Nationals 1987 in Hobart), Slalom and Speed Sailing. I sailed all year and conditions Swan River and ocean. I stopped sailing pretty much for 10 years then took it up again about 2000 for about a year on my then ancient equip - 9'4' glass slalom 4.9m and 6.0m sails. I dropped out again.

Now I'm thinking of coming back, but this time with some newer equip. Problem is now much heavier and part of the reason I want to come back. Get fit and fun doing it.

Now weight 109kg height 187cm. Boards have changed a lot since my day. Thoughts so far JP Funride 145 or Starboard Go 133. I will sail in river after work Spring and Summer. The mind wants to sail in 20-25kts, but reality (and fitness) will be more like 10-18kts and work my way up.

Will these boards suit, which one? Is there something better? So much choice now.
