Just wondering ,when they rate a board on its sail size ,are they rating it on its wind range or strength ,rather than what sail size it will carry ,?
eg..I have a 115 Patrik, best sail size is 7.0 to 8.0 .it will carry a no cam 8,5 no problem ,but it needs to be constant
i have had some good speeds on it with a 6,5 ,but a smaller change of fin was needed to keep it from lifting out of the water .
why the question ,i just brought a 2016 isonic 124 litre ,best sail size is 7,8 -9,5 .
does this mean a 7,0 won't be as comfortable ..

What are your thoughts .? on board guide lines .
