*board HS133 x FW158

[RickyBRA]

Hi,

Once again I'm asking for some expert advice here.
I moved to another place and my current gear is not very appropriate now.

Currently I own Mistral V131 LTD freeride and NP V8 8.1.   I'm 1.70m,63 Kg.

What would be the best choice, given a limited budget,get a HS133/HS111 or FW158 and the other option would be get a bigger sail for my current board.

Tipically conditions are 6 to 8 knots,flat fresh water. With cold fronts which do not come very often it can kick up to 12-20 knots.

Good winds.

Sounds like for most of the conditions the 158 would be perfect. Why not keep the naish for the slightly windier days?

Hi Sukhdev,

Thanks for your reply.

The main reason is budget size. I`ll probably have to do with only one board hence the HS133 consideration.
However,due to my lack of experience with FW boards I fear I would have to chance sail as well.
I tried for a couple of hours a *board FW158 with my V8 8.1 in 10 to 15 knots and it was great.
How would it be in 7 knots though?

Good winds!
