Hi again guys! I purchased Simmer Icon 5.3 as the sail on which I will learn and practice jibes and tacks, and getting into footstraps... where I live, the wind is most of the time up to 15knts... I am a 60kg girl... I wanted to take Fanatic Shark 135l board, but in the shop they're also offering me a RRD Firemove 130l..
what is your advice?
They are both used boards, RRD being in much better condition..
RRD..... likely a faster board. Sharks sometimes have those tough skin things.... not good or easy to repair.

In the end I decided to take the Starboard Carve 121l from 2014... for RRD firemove 130l, I concluded was too wide for me being a small girl... it is also supposed to function best with larger sails, like from 7m2 - 9m2, and I will be using my 5,3m2..
Lol Dean.
At such 60kg, can't imagine you'll ever need a 7+ sail..... but many 120ltrs is good float.
Good luck!
