If you were only allowed to own one board, what would it be?
I'm curious to see what you guys think is the ideal one board. I kinda figure no such board exist for the broad range of sailing everyone does, but, if you had to choose just one that could probably do a bit of wave and flatwater blasting what would it be?
Naish Koncept 2010 100 ltrs
Its designed as a board to do a bit of everything and my first shortboard so thats my pick
What I have - Goya One. Finally a FSW that rides waves proper.
But if it was more B&J and very little riding, an RRD FSW. Bloody fast but so forgiving - best gyber ever made, period.
For slalom a board of 64-68 cm wide would be a good choice.
If only interested in sailing in 18+ knots the i-sonic 87 wins hands down.
For me (75kg flatwater only these days) iSonic 90. It's my go-anywhere buggy 
[edit] Disregard. I just saw you want wave & flat water blasting 
I have only one board, 93lt starboard quad. But then I only sail waves, and live somewhere that this suits 90% of our conditions.
Up until I got into GPS sailing 6 months ago, I used a 2012 Fanatic Skate TE 109 as my flat water blaster (32.71kn 2sec peak at SWR), and this board doubled as my big waveboard for small surf and marginal conditions. Mind you it is not a wave shredder, nor is it a GPS speeder, but it is a great all rounder. Love this board, so it gets my vote if I could have only one.
an 80 wide slalom board , anything smaller and id only get to use it a few times a year .
At 110kgs i went from my favorite - 'fanatic triple-x 109' to a 'tabou 3s 116'. Still like to keep a big light wind board though.
My one board....Built for me for all conditions....No matter what.
Loves to pop, slide, blast and slash....Now only if I could???
102 FSW single/twinny/thruster/quad....The wave version of the X-cite ride, Just "Plug and Play".....So happy with this board
F2 Sputnik 265 World Cup edition. Super fast and jumps as well as just looking nuts. Wish I could find another one.
Cheers for the info so far.

I rented an RRD x fire the other day in New Cal. At a 100l you can blast this thing like a slalom board, it cuts through chop like nothing else, and the jibe is super, I reckon you could slash small waves with this thing even though it didn't look like it was designed for it.
I've had a range of FSW boards and this would be a worthy competitor.
You would have to go for a FSW.
90-100 litres rider weight dependant. Your choice of brand. Personally I use RRD FSW101.
Even though I dont use it much anymore (just doing GPS stuff and gettin' old), my Fanatic Freewave 104 is a board Id never get rid of.
Its fast, gybes beautifully and goes pretty well on smallish waves.
Has the options of either in or outbound straps and change the supplied 29cm freeride fin to a smaller wave fin and it goes well. Works with wave sails from 6.2 down to a 5.
it was the Firemove I was referring to. Very confusing, so many models gave the word FIRE, in the name.
yes I think you started on the Xfire the other day and then got the (white and red) Firemove, awesome board for our conditions !!
I was slightly being thrown around with the Firerace when we were sailing...
But you never know, a late model (2010 / 11) may come up second hand.
