Hi

what kinda float does the 87 give....it seems pretty wide for a 87liter board at 61cm?
thats wider than the quad 92, right? or is it a typo?

im looking for a light wind wave board - that can be good for float-n-ride in clean swell as well as powered up 5.7 and 5.3....that works for 85kg....more like 90kg in a wet winter wetsuit!

i think the nuevo will be too narrow...as i used a goya 92 that is also 59cm and i spent most of my time (admittedly on a very light, clean cross off day) with my back leg upto the knee in water!

Or the Quad 92.....but i heard mixed reports on them, as being less than quick to plane...which doesnt work for a light wind board?

Thanks!
Steve
