I'll tell you this (and I have confirmed it many times)...when my one strut RRD Vision 17m (2019) can fly then I can use TT, so there is no need for a different style board .When I say "can fly" I mean if I can keep it on the air on the beach standing with the less possible air (less than 9--10 knts).That time I can use the 148x45 ( but always chop here and I have the problems I said at first)...thank you

My small board is a Shinn Bronk Luigi 135, very light board, but for light wind a have a Duotone Jaime SLS 142 and I am very satisfied with it, I weigh 63kg or 140lbs.
Hello danlar,

I found this post and your boards quiver is very interesting for me because I have the same weight ;)

My main board is a Core Choice in 133x40, a very light board in this size (2,3 kg) with a medium/high rocker (4,6 cm). This board works well from 14-15 kts with my biggest kite (FS 12m).

I am looking for an other board for light wind conditions (10-15 kts) and for unkooked freestyle.

I tried equivalent boards with same shape in bigger sizes (139) but it also increases the rocker (about 5 cm) and finally it does not work for my expected conditions.

So now, I am looking for a board with medium rocker (4 to 4,5 cm maximum), with great pop and comfortable landing.

The Jaime SLS could be a good option, but in 142 the board remains comfortable and easy to do some freestyle tricks with rotations ? It is not too long or too large ? Can you manage / control the speed to load & pop ?

Thanks in advance for your feedback :) if other guys have some recommendations thanks also :)
