Just curious as to some of your views on a good light wind wave board. I usually use my JP FWS 101 and it's fine for my ability in winds from 10 knots up. But today I used (not mine) a 115 litre NSX Wave Fish that Mr Carantoc generously gave away last week (If you read this Adam, it's on it's way) and loved certain aspect of it. To paint a pic, cross off 5-12 knots chest to head high spillers- used a 6.2 Loft Lip. Sub-planning pump to get on waves then go!

Sweet stuff was the crazy boyancy and it's smooth lines and, my fav, the long drawn out cut backs with no loss of speed back onto and over the foam- yeeha!. But really a little too much volume for my minimal weight to throw around easily. I know today I would have struggle big time on the FSW- decent bouyancy but too twitchy for that super slow (sometimes stopped) chugging out stuff, so what's a good blend of the two? The NSX is 240X62. I was thinking perhaps a wider freestyle board like a 100 litre Skate (235X63) might be a good, stable, more sporty mix of the two and fun in waves? I only weigh 74 kegs dripping wet. Any view or recommendations? Thinking late model second hand.

Cheers guys.
