SB135 / GO Friendship-2001 series model

[flash]

Dear Suhkdev,

    Which board will be better for learning footstraps and harness? And in terms of durability ? I got an offer for the GO board but was thinking of getting the formula to learn on.

    From the website, the Go board volume is 180 liter. Will it be too much volume for someone who weighs 50+ kg especially in our local conditions?

    Thank you very much.

The GO is definitely easier to learn on for the initial stages but that volume will be too much once you are able to get past the basic stages. The 135 is better suited long term. In terms of durability the GO wins. I'm not sure what stage of sailing you are at now; one alternative is to learn on the GO and then later on move to something else.
