I'm fairly new to the bay area, but not to windsurfing. I have been
sailing on and off for the last 10 years, so I could be characterized as a
"rusty advanced" sailor. Coming all the way from the east coast (south
NJ), I thought it would be prudent to leave the old stuff behind and get
some new equipment once out here. I am primarily interested in shortboards
and rigs for planing conditions. I weigh 190# and am interested in getting
a 3 sail quiver and 1 or 2 boards. My primary sailing site will probably
be Crissy (since I am in SF), although I would like to get around to all
the bay area sailing spots.
I am considering getting the following equipment, although I have yet to
demo:
4.5 North Zeta or Rave (wave)
5.2 North Convertigo (wave convertible)
6.0 North Pyro or Spectro (race/slalom)
F2 Ride 277 or Mistral Screamer 278 (both about 100ltrs)
Mistral Wave 263 (87ltrs) ???
Do these sail/board size ranges sound about right for bay area sailing?
Does anyone have any experience with this equipment?
Thanks alot!
