Okay I'm heading up to drop the kids off to the grandparents so that would be good.

My 140 went missing about a month ago: left it at the waters edge and forgot to put it in the van. In the meantime a friend let me use his 135 Mako the last few sessions and I have to say, it is an amazing board. I have a Mako King for the Gulf conditions and when it's light but with any wind ( 73kgs) and my 13 Edge, this board rocks ! Unlike the 140 or King it feels like a standard TT boosting - crank on the edge and prepare to launch. I'm about to order one I'm so impressed but you have to have something bigger below 14 Knots or stronger winds.

Interesting. 135 you say. Mm will have to test your observations out.

Actually while we are here if you see a 140 for sale let us know my bro lost his the other day in that huge day a couple of weeks back. Man we could not find that thing!

Eppo..... I've told you before, don't compromise! 135 for you? No way. Grom or nothing! Especially with the 150. Trust me.

Check those ratios I gave you again, and remember the 140..

Forget the numbers, Grom's NOT too small!

Thought the ratios were for the 130 and 150 not the 135?

Don't understand you. I'll email you the data again.

Go 130 not 135. Forget the fact "it seems small". As you now know, Mako is unique, don't apply the standard TT thinking. Trust me

That's enough posts from me for one year now.. Must be 3 already!

Over and out

Worth a demo ride if someone has one to share. If my 140 lands on your Australian shores please text ! Or, make an offer :)
