Hi,

Am chasing a decent high wind blaster for the insanely windy days :)
Have a chance to purchase a board which would suit me, however it has one major flaw.

On the bottom of the board, it has been scraped all the way across width wise by the harness hook. It is a few mm deep, just indented, not cracked, but it is all the way across its width, near the mast track (on underside of board)

The board is std construction, 77 litres. Would something like this compromise the strength of the board a lot? ( eg- first big jump I do in high wind and the board will snap where the dent is)

I am 90kgs, and sail predominantly in cross onshore bump and jump, with only small to no waves. The area is always very choppy so I am chasing a board that is ultra comfy and controllable over chop. Speed isnt important at all. Wind range for this board will be 30-40 knots.

So Far I have in mind:

rrd fsw 85lt
goya one 77lt
starboard evo 80lt
Tabou pocket 85lt

Any other boards I might be missing which would suit my sailing conditions stated above?

Boards I have now: 2010 105 litre Tabou 3s ltd
2010 95 litre fanatic freewave
