Hey SMJ,
I'm akin to the poster that disagrees with everything he hasn't read, classic - but only in that
I NEVER LISTEN TO THE LITTLE PEOPLE just as a matter of policy...
I am 125kg in season, a bit more for winter and avid kiter but only going into my 4th season - 20+ years WS before finding the light... and live in the Gorge, will be 50 this year, so kinda fit your profile...
I tend to ride similar to you, love to boost, carve, ride swells and chuck spray etc. don't have a WOO but have had many two story boosts where you think, "whoa I'm UP here..."
Board wise: My fav is my
Crazy Fly Raptor - Carbon NEON 140x42 - I use it for 7m, 8m, 10m, 12m it's unquestionably my #1 and you can try to pry it from my cold dead hands someday - the board is SUPER SMOOTH and dances across the swell like no other, I am personally convinced that many of the TT hater's have never been on a truly good TT board -
I LOVE IT 1000%
Notably I just got a new friend - the
CARVE Imperator 151 v5 for use with my big 14.5m Flite - Yes there are lots of light wind days in the Gorge, well a few anyway. Will have to report in on it's usefulness later, but super stoked to have a big board with rocker and so light in the all carbon mode to replace my 1st learner CF All-Around 145x48 woodie which used to be my light wind option.
Hope that helps - once we kill this virus, love to share a 35mph gorge day, does make for some nice Airs
