Hi all.

I am 73 kg, 1,70m and have a freeride 145lt with sails 6,6 - 5,9 - 5,1.

I have been windsurfing for 1,5 years and looking for a second smaller board on which I will also be able to uphaul if the wind dies.

Riding conditions are usually flat/choppy waters with gusty winds from 14 - 25 knotts (sometimes up to 32).

Was thinking of going around 110 lt with a width of appr. 65-67cm.

What is your opinion regarding this size for my level (water start 5 out of 10 - plane in harness - starting to get into footstraps) ?

What of the above 3 styles should I be looking for (want an all around kind of board which will be friendly and plane quickly) ? Please remember that hopefuly soon this will become my "big" board.

I am a bit confussed because I keep reading that freestyle of FSW plane more easily than freerides and are wider in the same volume and thus more stable and forgiving ... on the other hand freerides should be the first choise for a beginner/early medium rider and so on ...

Thanks in advance for all the help /advice !

Freestylewave about 105-110L would be tops
