Hey everyone...
I,m looking at getting a race board for some downwinders, flat water etc etc...
I,ll use it at first for just fitness & fun but i,m sure eventually i,ll get into racing (even if its just to meet like minded ppl)....
I,ve owned a couple of surf sups so i have the basics , and im 6ft and around 95kgs.....
could anyone recommend some boards for me pleaaaseeeee
cheers

G'day Reddog,
If you're looking for a 14' then check out my post about the JM. Iys right under yours. ![]()
I'm 6'2 & 100. So far, its done wonders for me!
thanks zeusman.....i will do so.....i,m not too sure 14 or 12,6.......?.....
whats the pros and cons with each?
Hi Reddog, just recently I was looking for exactly the same thing. I was planning on buying a 12'6 as I thought it would be more practical for what I needed, I demoed a few different 12'6 boards over a couple of months and was just narrowing the selection down until I tried a 14'.
The 14' was so much better in the flat water and the most people I spoke to recomended a 14 for downwinders.( I am yet to give downwinding a go)
I just recently bought a second hand DC14 from the for sale section as I didnt want to lash out over $2000 for a new board and not get the use out of it.
So far I am loving the DC, I have been getting up at 5am each morning and doing 6-8 klms, nothing boosts motivation like a new board to play with!
I Just need to meet up with some people to train with!!
Best advice I was given was "demo, demo, demo"
