128. You would want a board that you are comfortable slogging as well as being powered/OPed. My ideal all-around board would be an 80L freestyle.
How much do you weigh and where do you usually sail?
A friend weighs 175. He was on a 4.7/100. He had a great time |

Out at Davy yesterday (waves but wind very light-I said I think a surfer could paddle faster than sailors were moving) I saw a leatherback sea turtle about 3/5 of a mile offshore (where you would gybe). A big brown round mound on the surface. I am used to seeing turtles in Maui but this was quite a bit bigger.
Turns out leatherbacks come all the way from Indonesia and are seen from June through the fall in the area. They eat jellyfish here, which are abundant now although I didn't see any yesterday. They can reach a 1000 pounds (don't hit that!).
They have been spotted around Monterey, Santa Cruz, Moss Landing and Half Moon Bay recently. Good article to read about our endangered friends; http://santacruzwhalewatching.com/rare-pacific-leatherback-sea-turtles-spotted-monterey-bay/ |

Larkspur Sat and Sun, 5.5 and 109, well powered both days, even though the readings show very little. |
