thank you danlar, I have 135x41 Bronq and is super, but for now my 82kg is maybe a little smaller, for this reason I was deciding between Bronq and Shotgun for a 138x42(or near) board...

I have also a 148x47 Bronq and is amazing too!

Bronq and Shotgun are two benchmarks...

I had the original Bronq in 137x44 size. I read raving reviews about the Monk and it's carbon version Bronq. Believed the hype and got hugely disappointed.
So expensive and so bad it was... Felt draggy, did not carve well, was not as spray free as claimed. Even worse than my DIY boards that did not turn out exactly as I planned... Was it the size that made it that bad? No. Had other boards in same size that performed great. Newer iterations of Bronq may be better I do not know...

I have a Shotgun 141x42. Great board, but my favorite board is still the Mako. I tried so many board through years, Shotgun is as good as a conventional twintip gets.

thank you Direnc! I like my two Bronq because are light, with medium rocker and so greatly comfortable in chop, I still think the 137x44 is a separate case...
I listen many times good worlds about the Mako, I was always in doubt cause the particular shape with single fin and deep concave, but I will take in consideration for the future

which size should I go for my 80kg to be comfortable as main board?

This ^^^

I'm 80kg and have a 136x40.5 Lieuwe Shotgun, best twintip I've ever had. Great chop eater, kind to my knees, huge grip, never boring.

I saw this today https://www.wetestkites.com/wp-content/ ... 00x201.jpg and with the word test, we have 2 shops I crossed today (yesterday) which sell Lieuwe. I ride now a 12m kite from Vantage they have also a board called Inertia (https://www.vantagekites.com/products/inertia/) I don't know if it is based on a shotgun or not. But it would be maybe easier to test it, atm there is only info on the website to test a kite and bar(https://www.vantagekites.com/store/book-testflight/). But through the app (The community app called Flight Control app) there are 5 people in Italy and you can check out their gear/quiver and homespots. Alot of riders also have one of these boards https://boardschmiede.com/en/shop/stock-boards/ Don't know about prints since alot order a custom board from Lieuwe with their own print called custom design. Hmmm couldn't find one which has an Inertia board yet, nevertheless hopes this information can put you in the right direction.
