Advice on Bump&Jump/ freeride/ starting on waves. Monthly warrior. Hi. I am an average windsurfer. Know how to do water start and have a 40% success gybing and know how to tack although have some difficulties on choppy waters. I am an experienced surfer as well. My current weight is 96kg but I am doing a diet to reach the 88kg. Beach will be mainly a beach break, summer waves from 30cm to 1.2 meters. Wind will be from Bft 3 to 4. Sail size that I am thinking to use most will be a 6.1 2014 Neil Pryde wizard from 2014 or a 5.7 Severne Gator crossover from 2009 or a Goya Guru 5.3. I am studying if it makes sense to invest on an used board for this "journey". The options are the Severne Nano 2017, 103litresx59cm for 590eur or the JP All Ride 116ltsx 65.5cm for 490 (year should be from 2015 or older). Or another that I have found now, RRD firewave 2014 112ltsx66cm. Can you give me your advice please? The Nano should allow, i think, to be used to surf small waves for my kids, 9 and 7 and 3 years old and for me for entertainment if there is no wind. My other big board is a screamer 133ltx70cm. Thank you very much for all the help in advance.
Hello, well, according to your measures and the conditions you will be sailing in, and if you also want to ride some waves I would go for the Nano or the Firewave. They would both be big enough to get you out safe but also allow to go for some turns on smaller and not too powerful waves... Hope that could help you a little !! Enjoy sailing
Thanks for the video! I've just started out wave sailing, your video comes at a right time. The main issue I encounter is getting upwind with a wave board, especially as I'm under-powered. Where I live, the spots are all mostly onshore, so waves push me away from the wind, I always end up at the other side of the beach. Any tips? Thanks again!

Thank you very much !! Actually the next two videos will be about your issue, finding and riding waves and using waves to get upwind :-)
