Hi,
Whats your fave sail size in various winds?
I Have a quiver of 3 sails:
6.7 gaastra freeride = 13 Knots+
5.7 NP wave = 15 Knots - 20 Knots
4.5 Gaastra ****bag = 20 knots +
Many Thanks
Nasi
what weight a you becuase i have 2 sails a 6.7 and a 5.5. i need a good constant 15 knots for both sails to get on a plane. it is really ticking me off, i thought with a 6.6 cam sail i would be a on a plane in 12-15 knots i hunting a 7.5 , 8 m sail now. i am amazed at the 09 new sails both sails just about have the same wind range. its just the 6.6 is abit faster in higher wind built more for speed .
dam wish i brought a 7.5 or a 8m dam
6.5 15-25 knots
5.4 15-25 knots
6.6 KA Koyote - 15-20 kts
6.6 KA Koyote - 20-25 kts
6.6 KA Koyote - 25-30 kts.
Having only one sail really sucks in the 30kt'ers!
The sweetest spot is around 22-26 kts.
North Warp 7.8 = 8 to 18
Neil Pryde RS6 7.2 = 12 to 20
Neil Pryde RX2 6.6 = 15 to 23
Neil Pryde VX2 5.9 = 20 to 30
Neil Pryde VX 5.2 = 25 to 35
Sailworks Revo 2 5.0 = 18 to 25
Sailworks Revo 2 4.4 = 30 to 40
These estimated wind ranges depend on the water state and how steady the wind is.
If funds permit this range will probably be rationalised and replaced with around four sails of 7.5, 6.5, 5.5 and 4.5 sizes.
Severne Overdrive 8.5 13-18k
Severne Overdrive 7.5 15-20k
Severne Overdrive 6.5 18-23k
Severne Overdrive 5.5 21-26k
I think I'm at the lower end of the wind scale for these sails 
NP RS Racing 10.7 = 7 to 22k
Gaastra Nitro 2 9.3 18 to 28k (formula) / 8 to 13 slalom
Gaastra GTX 8.0 = 12 to 22k
Sailworks NX4 6.6 = 16 to 26k
North Daytona 6.0 = 16 to 26k
NP Rs Racing 5.4 = 20k+
NP V8 7.5 - to 20 kts
NP V6 6.5 - 15- 28 kts Great range sail- mega favourite
Maui Sails Global 5.8 - 22 - 28 kts
NP Combat 5.3/4.7 - 28 - 35 kts
Ezzy Wave 4.0 - crazy town time
KA Formula 8.5 ; 0-20 kn
KA Kult 6.4 ; 12-22 kn
KA Kult 5.8 ; 18-25 kn
KA Kult 5.3 ; 22-35 kn
looking for 2nd hand very "cheap"
KA kult/Kaos 4.7 for 30-40 kn
i believe you crazyjockey.
i got ridiculed on here last year for suggesting i used a 5.3 KA kult in 35-40 knots.
last weekend i used said sail in 35 knots bump and jump.
they're great sails with a huge range.
well i would have prederred a 4.7 that's for sure. but like crazyjockey i don't own one.
the problem i had was with the board, 90lt wide bodied wave board was all over the place. i am certain a narrow wave board would have sorted that out.
i wasn't the only one on biggish gear though.
Vando was on his 5.2 Loft lip wave and 80lt acid. he didn't seem to be having any issues at all.
wind speeds were confirmed on the beach with a meter and crossed referenced on bom sites.
5.3 on a 90l board..... 35-40kts
even 4.7 big handful
i've seen pics of you, ur not 135kgs
surely your windometer is wrong
or is it that wierd windy but not windy qld wind 
windy
My fave sail size is 4.7 in about 25kts.
I come to this conclusion because it's a small enough sail that it whips around super quick on all the tricks and makes looping etc that much more fun. Once you get to 4.2 weather it's getting a bit radical. Windage on the board comes into play bigtime and everything is a bit more 'twitchy'. 5.2 is the opposite, the rotations etc are just that touch slower and you have a bit more rig to move around etc. 4.7 for the win :D
