For anyone interested I purchased a 2019 SB inflatable windsup 12'6"x30 and travelled with it last week. Very well made, relatively easy to inflate to 18psi, attach fins, etc.. The board glides ... |

Local guy bought a Flyer380, not advantage for early take off compared to his 80cm board and worse when flying. Can't leverage a large sail so limited use in light wind.
My experience has a 74cm boar ... |

Yes, the width - in the way for gliding onto the foil, but then potentially important for gaining leverage over the foil. But you point out that the Flyer 380 is 28" wide - so is the Equipe. Th ... |

Foiled last year in Martinique on 140lt board, pumped onto foil in 10 knots, exhausting but great - but footstraps in light wind seemed to be in the way, and in the wrong spots for most efficient foil ... |

Learned to windsurf in 1983, learned to kite 2013. After learning to kite I didn’t get on a windsurf board again until August 2017. I was so committed to learning to kite that I really didn’t miss w ... |

The 7.5m SummerFreak will far out-perform the WindSUP, no doubt. It will plane, and quickly, but don't expect a looked in feeling. It's a great sail, but does have the original Windsurfer boom lengt ... |
