140 is a good allrounder, better for jumping (but for jumping in flat there're better boards than Mako) 150 is better in bigger waves, strong wind, more upwind than the 140rightguard wrote:Poldo... Do you see a difference between the 140 and 150? I really like the140 in waves but find the king too big, wondering what the 150 would be like.
new rails from what I've read should be round, less sharp than previous ones. probably better in waves, but finding an image seems really difficult....
Also curious if the 2013 have a different rail than the 2011.
I had the 150 and now own the 140. The 140 is much better for boosting off chop and waves and is more nimble, but not as smooth and not quite as good up wind. Also, the 150 planes earlier, and allows you to use a slightly smaller kite. The 140 rides like a smaller board. When conditions are ugly or nuclear it really shines.rightguard wrote:Poldo...

145 X 42 with a bit less rocker and about 14 concave
weighs about the same with rounder rails
almost exactly what you are asking for and it ROCKS
best all around board i have ever ridden
planes fast, holds an edge for boosting, surfs well for a tt and if you know how to ride it rails upwind and is the smoothest board imaginable
stop hesitating, in this sport hesitation kills, and try one
