Used windsurf gear seems to depreciate a faster rate than vehicles. Overall the best deals Ive had have been new, but old gear at the shops. Regarding used gear value. I have some Waddell Turbos, N ... |

Im a little heavier at 58kg. Really like the JP Freestyle Wave board line. This years at El Yaque the 85L was my favorite board for 4.2 to 5.7M conditions. The 102L worked nice for marginal 5.2M an ... |

Have not sailed the Jet, but have used the NP Expression 4.2M through 5.7M size down at El Yaque. IMO it is not a heavy back handed sail. The Expression line seems to have a wide wind range. More el ... |
