103 Evo is specifically designed for the FoilX and doesn't really work on boards without compact geometry.
For me personally I really like the way compact geometry sails, but it takes getting used to.

I can see why now. It definitely took a few sessions to get used to how corky the board is but now it feels solid, just have to be very careful about foot placement. Once up in the air, it feels much turnier with the same setup as the Blast, doesn't appear to catch as much wind under the nose, etc. I'm sure I'll notice more as I get through more advanced moves that I have yet to attempt.
Would like that fuse to start playing with jumps on it. I wouldn't want to do that on the 76 given the slingshot fuse connection and the size of the wing.
After spending a lot of time on my FoilX, sailing a conventional foil board feels really odd.
On my wife's Starboard freefoil 125, with smaller sails, the mast track feels way way too far forward.
I feel my body has to lean forward and the sail mast has to be raked right back to balance it up.
The larger freefoil 150 doesn't feel that bad, as it's usually used with 8-7m sails.
However the mast base is always at the back of the track

Have you thought about a Starboard FoilX ?
i have a FoilX 125 and use it with all the Starboard foils.
From the supercruiser to freeride 1100 - millennium - 900 - 800 wings on the 95 plus fuselage and 95 carbon mast.
The 145 would probably be the size you would want to go for.
Hello RuddeBos,
what sails do you use with the foil X 125? what is your weight? is the board able to carry comfortably a 7 m2 sail?
Thank you for any feedback

Hi Edoardo, I also have FoilX125. 85kg using superflyer foil. My largest sail is foil glide 6m used in 10 -12 knots, after that can't wait to get on smaller wave sails 5.7 to 4.5. 5m seems to be sweet spot in 15-20 knots
