Hi All,

Been learning on a mates 145 for a while and just sold my 180 I am 70 kgs and will do most my sailing on the bay. Looking at a Freemove, freeride whatever board and just wanted some advice on how old is too old. The new RRDs and Fanatics that are a lot wider and thinner appeal to me as the stability will make me more confident to head out knowing while I am still learning water starts that I can uphaul if its a real issue. Price ideally around 1k max.

Here is an example: Cheap but probably too old... (buoyancy is not well distributed...)

New, costly and maybe a little undersized?

My sails are from 5m through to 6m (mostly second hand wave sails..)

Maybe this one is a good balance only $ a bit high...

P.S In harness, front foot strap still getting into, back footstrap not yet...
