Hi people, I have to buy a new light wind board and I guess the best choice for me is Nobile XTR but I need help to choose the right size.
I do not have any chance to test 140 x 46 and 143 x 48 to see differences.
Obviously I know 143 have a better lowend but how much compared to 140?? I know the more is wide, the more is good in light wind, but I do not know how much I will loose in fun and high end with the wider one. My weight is 70 kg so I am a light rider and my other board is an X ride 133. Thanks a lot for any tips from people who have tested or own nobile XTR

I would go the 140 x 46
I demo'd a different brand boards and they were 46 wide and 48
At 80 kg the 48 seem a lot bigger and a lot less topend compared to the 46. once you get it in the zone the 46 board acted more like my smaller TT
The 48 only gave me 1or maybe 2 knot extra bottom end. The 140/134 combo works really well for me. I may not be the first guy out but when I get going I have a board that works really well
Hi Allano, I read you ride a King George 140 x 46. Did you try XTR too? Can you say me something about differences between XTR 140 x 46 and Ging George II 140 x 46? Thanks
