True you won't use the 9.0 and ultra light board during the season April-Sept.
And most folks in the Bay Area only sail during April-Sept, and do other sports in the off season.
The off season is when light wind gear gets used here, especially Oct/Nov.
But if you don't want to sail in fall/winter definitely sell the big stuff if you can get more cash elsewhere. |

Thanks, I will keep it then. I sail around the year, currently in Europe and Asia, as long as the water is still liquid . With a good drysuit I feel warm even in the low fourties. |

Just to give an update, I bought already a 2021 Dyno 95 (and a 140-190 Enigma boom). Both are already in SF, just I am not there yet .
I will arrive there second half of July, looking forward to meet some of you at the spot.
Thanks for all the help and good advice! |

I would say most experienced ( advanced ?) Sailors at your weight would be using an 82-86 ltr board......at 3rd......in typical winds 18-28 mph.....
Just something to keep in mind.
Too big a volume board in rough water at speed is just not fun to ride aggressive..... it's more often feels like survival mode......believe me I know. |
