Looking for a CHEAP formula board, old, ugly if it floats it is OK... I am about 98 kg so needs plenty of volume.... I want to spend more time sailing not waiting for wind in the sand!

How much ya wanna spend?

Coz Formula Boards are Racing machines, thay sail high into wind and extremely broad downwind, they are not a relaxing cruisy sail.

You might be better off with a big light-wind slalom, say 85 to 95cm wide, 135Litres plus?

Well I want to spend as little as possible, I admit I am no expert in Formula boards but they look like the board for big guys in light wind, big buoyant board. I would use it in10 knot wind max, and it looks like it is easy to plane in almost no wind. I am just going back into the sport and I have an Isonic 122, great board but not enough volume for light wind.... I am not made of money so what in your opinion would be a cheap board ($ 300-00) I should look for?
