Board Quiver Update
Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on how to impove a 4 board quiver, i'm pretty happy with the sail's I have but I think 17 years is
probably long enough to keep my 2 smallest boards, so I am thinking of getting some new(used) boards and am open to suggestions, even
if it means I have to aim for 4 replacement boards.
Nearly all my sailing is done at marazion
current kit
Bic Techno 283 152l 68cm wide (2002)
Naish Quest 258 100l (2003)
Lightwave Slalom ~90l (1987)
Vitsea Wave/Slalom >75l (1998) NB I LOVE this board to pieces
Neil Pryde V8 9.4
Severne C2 7.5
Arrows Trixx 6.4
Neil Pryde Supersonic 6.0
Neil Pryde Search 5.8
Neil Pryde NR 5.0
Neil Pryde NR 4.5
Tushingham 3.7

hmm how about
keep the techno for em light winds
keep ze naish for the blasting
then get one decent wave board that works well with the 5.5m and under .

Yeah, 3 boards sounds like an ideal amount to be, a big blasting board, a large allround wave orientated board and a full on wave board
sounds perfect. I used to think that my Mistral Eruption wave board was nice but when I replaced it with the JP Wave 75 I realsied what
I had been missing. The shapes of modern wave boards aren't 'that' much different to ones of 10 years ago, but they are quite a bit
light and more responsive because of it.... I', sure you'll learn to love the Vitsea replacement just as much!
I must admit I'm a little tempted to get another board at the mo. I currently have a 75 ltr JP Wave and a 90ltr Mistral Heat, but have
been tempted by some of the new slalom boards such as the Tabou Manta. I quite fancy a big fast, early planing board for those summer
breezes. Trouble is I would then need a bigger sail, mast and boom to go with it!... Not to mention a bigger van!

my pal is selling a 2002 fanatic goya 84ltr at the mo' - it's in excellent condition & they're REALLY good boards,,,, I think it's
advertised on the iwindsurf website - his names slim.... I think that would suit.
Al - do you think u could fit another board in that remarkable TARDIS van of yours!? Remember you have to get in there too!

and a 83l RRD MPE
just need to consider something slalomy for blasting now.... Tried a JP slalom 114 at the weekend, it's great fun, fly's off this
wind, not that I have £1100 <lol>

I'm quite taken with a Tabou Manta at the moment the one around (115ltrs)... Looks pretty fast and fun with 7m(ish) sails.... Again I
don't have the £999 for a brand new one... actaull, even if it was £99.99 I don't think I could afford one at the mo!!

Al,
This Manta you keep going on about is it the sports/coupe from the 80's with a 1.8litre engine in white with matching alloys, fury dice
(as standard) and a wee spoiler at the back....? 
only kidding....
ps - it's too fast for you, actually it's too fast for me I nearly s#!t myself on it at the Chasewater demo.
