I'm really starting to appreciate (ie fall in love with) Neil Pryde X9 RDM.

I like my Chinook double bolted mast bases. Have two of them for both boards I've got. Bought one ten years ago and one last year. Both look as good as new.

Gonna buy one for a windsurfing friend as a Christmas gift along with a uni and mast base.

Hard to say, but at the moment, 5.9m simmer icon, its the sail size I use most often and the sail is super stable in the gusty crap that we often have to sail in.

got a fair bit of new stuff, and gear coming that i've yet to have a good session on, so may change. I think I will have my perfect quiver soon

99L freestyle board, 84L twinfin wave, 75L singlefin wave... and 5.9+5.3+4.5, from subplaning to 30kts, qld conditions covered

My 74l Evo. It means it's WINDY when I get to ride it and it is just a fun board to be on. Its like riding a skateboard.

Definitely my Exocet Kona - new school longboard. I'll take it out for any session when a short board looks iffy. The most versatile board in the universe and always always leaves me smiling.

My 5.7 Firefly

Wide wind range, so easy to set up, tune and sail.
Wish I had a whole quiver of them.

Bit hard to say as I just updated so most of my kit is awesome at the moment. Every 5 yrs or so I have everything that is tops, then after a couple years I want new board/s, or new sails etc.
Continuous cycle....

I can't identify one single piece so I'd say 5.2 Zone fully lit on my RRD WaveCult 85. In the right conditions....... just feels schweet
