Hey somebody could tell me whats the best formula board?? PD, Starboards, JP?? thx..planing to buy now...



29th August 2010 (08:07:51) - Anonym, wrote :
haha, good question . If starboard riders are answering then they say starboard, if jp riders answer then they say jp. But actually you have to find yourself the one. Boards are so different and racing styles, fins, sails are so different that you have to test it by yourself :)

my friend is using JP and is kicking my ass so I think exocet is the best so you should buy gaastra

Peter, Anonym is right, depends on serveral factors such as style, weight, fins, conditions, beginner or Pro etc. If you are <75 kg try LWR or Gaastra. >75 try Gaastra, Exo, HWR, JP...but as a general start. Myself 75 kg is using Gaastra, Exo and SB160 at the moment...and I still cant say what board is the best.

OK, I am 83 kgs aprox, i've been racing for a long time, i am thinking of buying some nps or norths, what do you recomend??
did you try the new starboards anonym..?

PEter- there's a lot of good gear on the market now.
I think with enough tuning, you can make any of the gear in the last 2 years go extremely well. Watch what other top sailors in your area are riding and match their set up. Change accordingly for your size and ride!

Phil McGain has just won the US Nationals with a ST 158, a board from 2004... Any 2010 FW board out there would perfectly work. It is the rider who makes the difference!
