Can see the new race boards being very useful for those light days. Just need to learn to ride one now!
There is going to be a twilight race series in Sydney, Kitepower and WS&S with assistance from NSWKBA will have approx 6 race boards for hire/demo, all summer long, and on the race nights.

A little bumpy for no wind, 6-7kts i would think. But regardless he was hooking along. I would love to try a race board. The twilight series sounds like a great idea

Which raceboard is going to be good for bigger guys 90kgs+?

My post says LOW wind not no wind.

Bigger guys will need to longer models of boards, the Cab boards come in 2 sizes, Underground just one but its on the larger size, not sure but I think North and Naish both have 1 size same with Airush I think?

Hire sounds like a good option to me...

The bigger ones are about 180 by 59 or 60 cm. The one Damien was on in the video is 178 by 59 and looks big enough in this video.



The Airush Monaro V2 is 181 by 60

The Cabrinha and North boards are on here. I dont believe the stuff about Future fins on the North Race - that may be for the new North freeride board. The Cabrina for sure has Powerbox fins.
