Anyone tried this board ? I'm 84kgs, would the 136 be a tad big? Has it got a big board feel about it? Or should I go for the Jaime 132 ? Cheers

I'm 80kgs on the Jaime pro 136 and it's no problem. I don't think we need boards as small as we used to.

A few people have said this about north lately??? Anyway I had the 2010 132cm Jamie pro and loved the board until it delamenated. (2 other people that i spoke to had similiar issues though dealers had never heard of it) Got given a 2011 135cm north Jamie pro when I bought 2 Vegas kites for almost free so gave it another chance. At first it felt too big and a little slow to react. But after using it for a few months fell in love with it. When hopping on to the 132cm it felt too loose and felt hard to control when coming down with a lot of speed. Board has been bullet proof and I'm glad I got this size. Also 178cm And 80kgs of pure muscles. I would go the same size and board when upgrading in the future. Great board if you don't get perect flat water all year round.
