I'm in the process buying a new board. Have been using my old allrounder (10'6) now for 2 years almost everyday during the summer months (it's cold where I live...) but now need something with better speed. I'm using it for fitness and occasional races in the choppy water that I normally get. I also get a fair amount of up and downwind activities so it should hold well there too.

Currently looking at the 2015 Javelin 14’ x28” GX or 2016 Glide 14’ x29” GTW.

What are the pros and cons you think?
Will the Jav hold well against cross winds?
