Hey guys, I'm looking at getting a different 105L + board, I have one already but its very rocky for friends when they come out for a play, so if anyone has a board they wanna sell that has abit of width to it, id appreciate if you reply, a photo would be sweet also (of the board that is ) ,
Hoping for something thats not really old but will sell for around $300, just for cruising around in during light winds in the swan, even if its not on the plane, really for friends to learn on, so something very user friendly
cheers Jase

Can you be a bit more specific, price range? width? Purpose = Race/Slalom? Freeride?, Wave?, Freestyle? Skill level = Beginner Intermediate Advanced? You have the BUY/SELL here full of boards people want to sell

So as you're talking about teaching, you mean 150+ ........ not 105+

I have to agree with Mark, teaching the average person probably requires a much more stable platform that you might find boring for recreational sailing. Teaching people windsurfing (which is a very technical sport) needs to be done on a wide long stable platform, and I'd say a minimum of 150L. I've found my Windsurfing based SUP (3.1m long 210 Litres, and 80cm wide) that has an insert for a mast base is perfect for teaching, and have taught at least 6 people with success. So I have a SUP board for my recreation and a teaching windsurfer. But not many around, and not for $300

PS. Any 105L board that you're going to enjoy recreational windsurfing, is going to be the wrong board to teach windsurfing.
