I'm looking for a replacement high wind board for wave and general sailing I quite like the feel of goya bords but not had chance to try the goya one 95 . Any feed back would be real good.

I came close to buying one for medium winds but choppy conditions.
The one I was looking at was an older model, probably '09, which had belly bottom, no double concaves, wave rocker, and thick, wave like rails. Would have been great for turning on swells.
However, without double concave below the mast track, the board would have ridden rough in disorganized chop, which we always get, and bounce a lot at good speeds.
Went with a '10 Tabou 3S instead, full double concave from 2' behind the nose to the front footstraps, smooth riding, and very good in rough conditions. Plus a Starboard Quad 76 for higher winds, which is working quite well so far.

I'm goin to demo a naish koncept 90 next few weeks as I think it may be good for my needs but if not I'll take a look at the Taboo.

What is most important for you - wave capability or high-wind blasting?

My experience is that this is what perhaps sets your typical 95-litre fsw boards apart. In my case, I much prefer a board that is really good in waves, more like a proper wave board with a fast rocker, that still is good on flat water.

The Goya One boards seem to be a design that have a number of happy owners, though. Both the early ones, but also more recent iterations of the design. A couple of good sailors I know really liked the early Ones (he, he) a lot, kept them for several seasons and also seemed to hold up quite well. I _think_ that it has become a bit more wave-orienteted in the last couple of years.

Where I sail is mostly bump and jump but occasionally we get good swell and waves. I do take a two hour trip to wave beach but not very often So its mostly high wind all-rounder with optional to play in small wave.
