Have the same 2021 Goya One3 95L and it's a great little all round freewave board. Yes it's not a dedicated wave board but it so playful when you are in waves or in the air. As said in the video, it feels narrower than some other boards in this category which makes it feel pretty smooth and fast (IMHO). I'm 80Kg, and with a 5.4m or a 4.7m the 95L is great for me.
I'm glad that there is acknowledgement that "proper wave boards" are called that for a reason. I'm 5'9" and 84kg and use my 94L JP Ultimate wave in 3.5 - 5.6 here on the South Coast. I also have an 83L 2015 JP Radical Quad, which is incredibly sweet, but with such variable wind in the Channel I go for the 94 and a smaller sail. So yes, your interviewee Nick's 87L would just a touch too small for him to get out more often. Yes, I wouldn't mind a bigger FSW for marginal conditions ..I sold my 102L JP RTQ but I wish I hadn't... but those boards feel like oil tankers after one gets spoiled by the responsiveness and turning ability of wave boards - which also do fit into small 'rubbishy' waves nicely, still go very fast, etc. My 94 L JP (like any proper wave board) needs bit more technique needed to get going than an FSW, but worth it. Don't go for fins too big - you will lose some looseness.
Hey Richard. Thanks for your comments - great to read. It’s going to be interesting to see what Nick does in terms of replacing the Quatro and whether he actually keeps it or sells it and buys something a bit bigger but still a “wave board”. We’ll do a follow on video in the future. Cheers 🤙💥
Thanks for the review, seems to confirm what I felt. I’m currently on a old 125l Tabou Rocket (I’m 65kgs) and got to try out a 105l Goya one and quatro power pro the other day on flat water. The Goya one felt very controlled, turned nicely and the volume seemed really well spread and balanced when moving about on the board. The quatro turned super quick under power via the back foot and I could imagine it would be much more of a wave board than the Goya but in a slow tack the board seemed a lot more unstable. Somehow the Goya felt like it had more volume than the quatro and rode flatter. It’s really hard to know what board or size of board to progress to. I’m looking for bump/jump & carving/turning board for fun in small chop/waves in 4.5-6.5 conditions (Hayling island). So far I just use a 5.5 & 6.5 in 14-27 knots.
Thanks for the very informative video. I'm considering the purchase of the One3 95L of the same year, and your video is nudging me towards biting the bullet. I've been struggling getting a Goya 104 Quad Wave going over the past couple of years and feel the need to get something closer to the 95L Simmer FSW that I really enjoyed since 2012. I'm just under 75 kg and sail in mostly 5.0-5.3 conditions, with side to side-off winds and down the line waves. The Simmer helped me catch more waves yet was quite loose on the face. I'm hoping the Goya One3 will do the same. If I can't catch 'em, I can't ride 'em. Thanks again. Cheers.
Hey Mr Roundel many thanks for the feedback and your comments. Nick (who I interviewed) is really dialled into these boards now and has just bought a new 93 too. I’ll get him to share his thoughts on your comments. 🤙💥
I went out today at West Wittering in 30-40kts, westerly, cross on with a lot of cross chop...on my 83L 2015 JP Radical Quad. The 3.5 sail and board were awesome when the wind was up and infuriating when it dropped down. BUT, the few wave rides that I had were wonderful. The little wave board could turn a questionable one-turn terrifying attempt into a three-turn one to celebrate. Swings or roundabouts...?
I (65kg) have the 86L 2020 Goya One 3 - so I guess about mid way between your board volumes, relatively speaking, and yes a great board! Awesome for smashing out through the breakers. I hope you find that Custom 3 - I got the 81L 2020 for something a bit more wavy, and it is the best board I have ever ridden. It just feels completely right, everything fits perfectly somehow. I'm really just starting getting the hang of wave sailing, so I can't give a proper review, but from float and ride to serious weather it keeps its balance very nicely. (West coast of Portugal, ground swell 1-2m, mostly 5.3, sometimes 4.7 or even 4.2)
I'm interested in the same board but 2018 version, found one for €850 and I weight 75kg but am losing it and my goal is about 66 kg, do you think it will be a complete sinker or rather usable even in light winds?
@@alessiopanu8022 For my 65kg, I find neither the 2020 One 3 (86L) or the Custom 3 (81L) to be sinkers, not even slightly, and in fact the One 3 is my light wind board! I can use the Custom 3 in light winds too, but it is nice to have a bit of extra float when winds are really light. I assume the 2018 versions will be similar.
Hi, great video. I have 99l Goya Custom Pro Thruster 2019 and I'd like to make it more freewave oriented. I used to sail with range of 5.0 to 6.0 sails and thinking of changing the main center fin (now it's 20). Shall I take 25 or 28 freewave fin? My weight is 78kg
Got me thinking, at 92kg I have always had 78-82 waveboards, currently working out what to get below my fanatic Freewave 95, thinking of a grip 87 or magic wave 89 but worried they are not far off the free wave.
Hey - Paul here from BooM. Thanks for your comment. I think when you’re a bit heavier ( I’m also 92kg) going for a board with similar volume to freewave 95 could be good as long as the shape is more of dedicated wave board - which will sail and feel smaller than 87L. I’m about to make a new video on my quiver and the changes I’ve made to it over the last year. I now have 125 freewave, 105 freewave , 93 wave and 86 wave. I hardly sail the 86
@@boomwindsurfing2744 Thanks Paul , yes I have a 113 FSW JP and the 95 Freewave, for waves a 100 Starboard quad and an old out going JP 82, which I have used 5.0,4.7 &4.2 . Not in a rush but also seen the Goya 89 4 . I think in the past there was a big drive to use really small boards .it is good having volume when onshore. I have got into winging, but now I can do it really want to get back on the wave kit this winter. Some local videos on my channel page.
Im 75kg and sail mostly on the east coast of Ireland. Im thinking about getting a 95L one 3 pro and a 105 Goya bolt for more freeride days. I already have a 75L evo for strong wind days. I think this would suit my sails from 3.7 - 7.2. I feel that the 95L would get more use for moderate wind days and be a good size for getting into wave riding on the west coast!?
That sounds like a great set up Jonny. Where do you sail on the east coast? Is there much of a scene? When you say west coast do you mean Magheroarty? We’re going there in October for a week. Cannot wait. Be really keen to understand more on the Irish windsurfing scene. We’d like to make some videos about sailing there. 🤙💥
No we haven’t tested it but wood lie to. We can try and get a demo of one from Andy Chambers and post it on the channel. Would be interesting. Nice looking board
Good point Steven. I have never sailed quad but I imagine it will be looser. The Goya chat seems to suggest that the 4 is more wavy than the 3 in shape anyway. SO i think of the 3 as closer to the one and more of an allrounder. Anyone help us with this?
Hey Kerr. At the beaches just outside and to the south of Edinburgh we can sail in any wind direction. Straight southerly and SW our least favourite but everything else works at different spots all relatively close to get her. And if it is a straight S or SW , we can head over to Fife and score some great conditions at some great spots there. We also sail over in the West at the beaches around Troon which work in a SW and a S and are superb wave spots.
I'm 93 kg and had the One 115 an now have the 105. I found the 115 too big for waveriding because it has a lot of volume and width in the tail. These shapes are stubby shapes in disguise, imo. So much planing power in the tail, you can use one size smaller. I have a new Goya Nitro 106 on order, because even my One 105 feels a little "too long" when waveriding. The Nitro will be 12 cm shorter and even better for waveriding. I could already ride a Proto of the Nitro which felt amazing agile and also early planing. For stronger wind I have a Goya Custom 3 98 from 2020. Btw the 2022 One 115 shape is unchanged to the 2020 from the video. The same applies to the new Custom 3 99 which is the same shape like my 98.
Hey Alex, that’s for watching the video and for your comment - really interesting to hear your thoughts. I’ll get Nick to read this and also send you a comment back as he’s considering a Nitro just now and would be interested what the demo board felt like. Very interesting point you made about the stubbies. IMO the stubby was a bold move from the likes of Fanatic who essentially took the concept from Starboard and Danny Bruch when they developed the Black Box. If you look at re new Nitro and compare it to the Black Box , they’re very similar. Evolution, reinvention who knows? Would you be up for recording a review of the Nitro once you’ve sailed it a bit and letting us post it on the BooM Windsurfing channel?
@@boomwindsurfing2744 I only had some runs on the lake on the Nitro Proto of my friend which let to my assessment, but my friend was on Sardinia recently and reported back that the board has an amazing range even in bigger sideshore conditions, where it performed better than expected based on his experience with a former Quatro Supermini Proto he had owned. I'll try to do a little review when I got the Nitro.
@@vianasurfer Hi Alex thanks for your points. I am really looking forward to your feedback on the Nitro. Would you also perhaps lets us know your thoughts on the differences between your One and your custom 3. Thanks, Nick
@@windlinewatersports Here's what I wrote on the Seabreeze forum: I got my Nitro 106 some weeks ago, as a replacement for my '22 One 105 which i use as big waveboard accompanying my C3 98 for my 92 kg body. I could try it in several sessions in Portugal and Galicia in sideshore conditions, mostly with a 5.0 and 5.5 Banzai. The Nitro is a clear improvement to the One 105 regarding turning, it feels more like my C3 whereas the One, despite being a wavy Freewave board, sometimes felt a little stiff. It has a clear advantage in carrying speed through the bottom turn against the C3 and also planing is clearly better thn the C3. The wide tail helps a lot here. Planing is allmost on par with the One, but the One feels faster and more agile at speed, like shifting in 6th gear whereas the Nitro sticks in 5th. What was suprising for me was that the Nitro has amazing control in bottom turns, even on choppy waves. Oto in a straight line it has a rather harsh ride in chop despite the extreme V on the forward/mid bottom. After all the Nitro feels like a "real" waveboard with some extra torque. Now i'd decide if i use Nitro or C3 not only on wind strenght / sail size, but rather on wave height / push. Sidenote: First i thought i had to be careful with my jibes to not burry the short nose, but the voluminous nose just stays upon the water even if you put your foot rather forward at the end of the jibe.
Very insightful discussion on board size and width.
The Goya One 3 Carbon is very smooth and fast in messy seas! Well done.
