Hi guys,
I want to switch my one overall board to having a light wind board and a high wind board and I would like you guys opinion on sizes....
I'm thinking of a
- Cabrinha Custom 2010 136 X 42
- Cabrinha Plasma 2010 146 X 46
I'm a huuuuge guy (wink wink) a 90 kilos, so a few guys suggested I should go for the
Custom 140 X 42.5 instead......So don't know which size is the best...
I will be kiting in Adelaide choppy waters :)
im 6,2 and 92kg i had a ride on 2010 custom 140 last week handles the adelaide chop well better than my 136 caliber hope this helps
Hey Doolz,
That's good news...Do you ever feel the board is too big when you are out in high winds ?
That's my main concern in getting a 140 instead of the 136.....
hey Sidenius- I rode a 10m switchblade and a 140 custom all last year at henley, I am 105kg but my mate who is about 90kg rode the same....I never felt overpowered and it holds a solid edge but due to the rocker the 140 is not all that awesome at staying upwind in lighter conditions. A skimboard has given me heaps more fun on the water in those lighter conditions. I really liked the Custom- still got mine if you want to take it for a ride pm me.
light wind & choppy + big arse guy (apparently :) = bigger board 140+ less rocker more flex big kite
strong wind + beer gut :) = smaller board 135- more rocker & flex small kite
Demo dude dont believe everything you read - the big arse beer gut is true 
but maybe not my recomendations 
Have a great time kiteing and they all feel the same when your flying up in the air 
Thanks for the replies guys....Seems like I could do OK with a 140 even in higher winds....
Happy days and beer gut.. 
I ride the 136 2010 custom and a 144x46 stella when its light and i'm 78kg. at 90 kg the 140 will be the go for you. they ride like a smaller board due to rocker and curvy outline.
