hi,
I'm moving to Perth area (SOR) in May from the UK which is getting into winter time. I'm planning to take one board with me on the plane. The rest will have to be shipped with the household goods and could take 3 months to arrive.
What would be best to take for the winter to give me the best chance of a good sail, a 120ltr slalom board with 7,8m sail or a 97ltr FSW board with 5,3 - 6m sail.
I'm 85kg.

Hi mate
I'd suggest a fsw board for winter. Generally nw-w during that period that can range from 15-20 through to 20-30 knots depending on the strength of the front. I live (SOR) and enjoy winter fronts at safety bay that offers quite a few spots to launch from
bring the 97 and all your sails.
may want a smaller fin for the fronts on your 5.3...
Yes, winter is mainly 5-10kt westerlies, with the occasional 20-60kt storm. so at some stage you'll be able to ride the big or small, just bring the stuff you prefer to use.
Having windsurfed in Scotland with 6-8 deg C in winter, 5mm steamer and boots, gloves and hat, I'm sure I can do without heated footpads.
