Man that's a speed combo!

I'd go my old Fanatic triple-x 109 & a 7.5 KA Koncept

12m North rebel and Naish 133 twintip.


More importantly: Quiksilver rashie, Billabong boardies over a ripcurl e-bomb springsuit. Make sure the logo's are visble, don't wanna look like all the others.
Oakley Monsterdog sunnies, a GoPro, iPhone, WRX STi, cold corona with slice of lemon afterwards.

Number one is not having any existing commitments, eg work, family, friends

Also, access to a vehicle is paramount!

PS: Only one choice - Mistral Synchro Fish (83L) and 5.0m Gaastra Poison

As albers said..no commitments....no kids,no work...freedom to sail as long as i want and not have to rush to get anywhere afterwards..this is my fav set up!
As for equipment..i have as much fun on a 100cm board cranking upwind in 10-15kn as i do on a 40cm board sailing deep in 25kn (not that it happens all that often)

Hi Sean and Pointman,
In 15-20 knots you guys are riding pretty big slalom boards. You would be both travelling fast so the apparent wind speed would be higher again.

Pointman, I am going to ride the 135 V2 cant wait. Not sure if I can hang on in 20knts though.

Sean, what wind strength are you racing the 117wide on the world tour?


And for Tim, 5'5" is 164cm. Are you sure? thats short! most are around 230cm these days!

Hey Justin, I'm a heavyweight at around 105kg so no dramas holding down that kit in 20K. The TR8 is very stable and I love the Patrik as well, heaps of control in chop and not bad top end either (I got a 31.5K peak speed on this set-up recently).

Are you going to be riding the 135 XFire V2? Great board, I had one but traded it for the Patrik.

Hi Pointman, I will ride the Patrik 135 V2, it is 20mm wider and 10mm longer than the 135.
I weigh around 90kg but I should be 85kg.

31.5K congrats
