Hey guys,
Looking at moving from a 160l f2 xantos to a 2019 gecko 133 as a step forward. has anyone ridden one in choppy conditions, any advise at all would be appreciated!

that's the one im looking at :) just trying to work out whether its a good move forward :)
My gut reaction is that you should be going a little smaller, closer to 125 liter. I'm not 85kg myself and haven't seen you sail, but I still tend to think you'd soon find the 133 a little large, especially since you already have a larger board to practice on for a little longer if needed.

thanks for your advise harrow,
My theory on it was that its a more modern board (easier to ride?) and the added width would give me more stability as I work towards getting into the footstraps? my current boards only 68 wide which is great for the chop, but its a delicate dance to move around on it.
Plus its a cool looking board and that counts for something right? haha
