Looking for an X-Large Slalom Board

Post by Juergen Ti » Wed, 08 May 1996 04:00:00


I'm looking for a slalom board in the x-large category. I'm a pretty
big guy, 200 lbs and my Sputnik 285 is just to small for the low to
moderate winds on the lakes around home. I was thinking about
a Xantos 310. Anyone have any suggestions?
Btw, my largest sail is 7.0, probably also too small.
Thanks,
Juergen

: I'm looking for a slalom board in the x-large category.

I weigh 195lbs and have a Xantos 310. It's great - fast and lively.
I typically use it for sail sizes 6.0 - 9.0.  With a 16.5" fin and
a Prisma 7.8m2 sail (rigged full) I can plane without whitecaps.

The 310 is a nice choice. It will definately work great. As another
suggestion, you might consider the Seatrend 302/9'11". Very quick to
plane, light and stiff.

PWR just gave a very good review to the  biggest Cobra.   I thinks
it's a 320.  I have  the 285 and love it.

PWR's Race issue reviewed four big boards. In summary, "the Cobra 308 is a
comfortable entry-level short board that's fun even for advanced sailors.
The Bic 298 has a broader appeal with its stronger upwind performance and
quicker planing. The Pro Tech 293 Race is a very capable light air race
board that's still fun for intermediates to sail. And the Roberts Light
Wind Race 9'7" is a full-on race board for competition in marginal to
moderate winds." There are three pages of details in the mag.
