Hi All: I am looking to purchase a second hand larger sail, something about 6.5 m2, possibly with a mast and a boom. I have a 180L Hi Fly Mambo board and a...
Re waterstarting hints; I'll add one more to Don's excellent advice. If you're having trouble clearing the big sail from the water, start at the sail tip, ie...
If you are looking for a sail that will be easier to learn waterstarting, probably something between a 5.5 and 6.0 will work. As far as the boom/mast buy...

Thanks for the advice! I got a good idea of what to go with now. One more question for you guys, probably a more opinionative one... Are high carbon content...

Sean, Depending on where you sail and how often you want to sail the 6.0 with a 135 liter board is probably a great next board for you. It will help you learn...
