I found this on the Starboard Website. It is really good information on the Fin and Sail combinations on the new 2010 Starboard I Sonics from Remi Villa, Kevin Pritchard, Jimmy Diaz and Cyril Moussilmani. Check it out below
Remi Villa
I am very excited about the new iSonic range with this new shape modifications who improve the acceleration, top end speed and jibe, but also by the new Constructions technologies in function of the winds conditions to get more reflex to comfort. Need a board as light as possible and nervous in lighter winds (Carbone Deck and Bottom) and one to absorb all the vibration in strong winds (Wood bottom and deck) and for medium winds a nice combination of the 2 worlds with Wood on the bottom and Carbone on the deck.
150: This board cannot be use in the PWA rules but it's the perfect link between Slalom and Formula. For those who don't like Formula and prefer the glide sensation of an iSonic, it's the perfect machine for light winds with a sail around 10m
144: For very heavy guys in the PWA rules to perform in the light winds with 9 to 10m
131 My favorite for light winds at 88kgs with Severne Code Red 8,8 and 9,6m" and Deboichet R16 48 to 52, almost same outline as the 144 with less volume, the new construction (Deck and bottom in Carbone) help a lot in lighter winds with instant acceleration.
121: Light winds boards for medium riders with Severne Code Red 8,3 and 8,8 with Deboichet R16 44 an 46
111: My Favorite in medium wind with Severne Code Red 7,5 and Deboichet SL4 40, the perfect board for medium wind for heavy guys.
101: Medium boards for the medium riders, excellent with the Severne Code Red 7m and Deboichet SL4 38
94: Totally new this year, who is basically a smaller version of the 101 with the same kind of sensation but in higher winds. Excellent board for the light racers as a medium board.
86: The machine for heavy racers in strong winds and my favorite one with Severne Code Red 5,4 to 6,2m" with Deboichet SL4 32 to 34
86 Slim: Easy machine for the lighter riders who give excellent potential with Severne Code Red 5,4 and Deboichet SL4 32
This is my recommendation but can be adjusted depending of your style :
Very Heavy Racers :
- iSonic 144 Carbone for max performances in lighter winds with sails 8,4 to 10m
- iSonic 111 Wood/Carbone nice combination of Wood and Carbone to have the best of the 2 worlds with sails 7 to 8,4m
- iSonic 94 Wood to get more comfort in higher winds with sails 5,8 to 7m
Heavy Racers :
- iSonic 131 Carbone for max performances in lighter winds with sails 8,4 to 10m
- iSonic 111 Wood/Carbone nice combination of Wood and Carbone to have the best of the 2 worlds with sails 7 to 8,4m
- iSonic 86 Wood with sails 5,4 to 6,8
Medium Heavy Racers :
- iSonic 121 Carbone for max performances in lighter winds with sails 7,8 to 9m
- iSonic 101 Wood/Carbone nice combination of Wood and Carbone to have the best of the 2 worlds with sails 6,5 to 7,8m
- iSonic 86 Wood to get more comfort in higher winds 5,4 to 6,8m
Light Weight Racers :
- iSonic 111 Wood/Carbone nice combination of Wood and Carbone to have the best of the 2 worlds with sails 7,5 to 8,4m
- iSonic 94 Wood/Carbone nice combination of Wood and Carbone to have the best of the 2 worlds with sails 6,2 to 7,5m
- iSonic 86 Slim Wood to get more comfort in higher winds with sails 5 to 6,2m
Kevin Pritchard:
86: This board is a classic. The 86 is always a joy to use and it is my favorite board of the range. I use it from 6.7 to 5.0 and with the 34 SL4 this board is sweet. This board is steady, fast, controllable, easy and fun to ride.
94: The 94 is a small guy's big board.. We have made it a wider than years past and has more power to it and it is built with the flat-water get up and go type sailing.
101: I really like the 101. Fast, early planing, great in the gybes. I can use this board from 6.0 to 7.6 and it has some good range to it. Usually use it with the 36 to 38cm SL4.
111: This board is a workhorse. You can use it from 6.7 to 8.4 in high and light winds. I used this board the most last year and look forward to racing on the 2010 model. The range of fins you can use on this board is really incredible. I was using 36cm up to 42cm fin and could even go with the 44cm on the 8.4. Great all round board.
121: The 121 is the board for the guy who wants to go out and ride a fast light wind slalom board. If I wasn't competing on the PWA tour this would be my light wind board. It is still fun to gybe, gets up and going fast, you can use it with a big sail as well as down to 7.6 and still be competitive.
131: This is the ultimate light wind board for me. I use it with my 9.3 and my 47 R 16 and it smokes in light wind. With the new Carbon, the board just sails across the lightest of wind..I hope to do great things with this new shape!
Jimmy Diaz
86: This is an incredibly versatile board with a huge range, very easy to use with exceptional control, which translates to great speed. Jibing this board is a dream! I like to use the 86 with the Tectonics Falcon 30 from 5.2 to 6.3 sails and with the Falcon 32 with 6.3 and 7.0.
111: I use this board from 6.3 to 8.0 but like it the best on the 7.0. Tectonics Talon 38 is my favorite fin for this board, which has a very big range. This year it has great top end speed and the wood/carbon version seems to have that extra edge to optimize its' performance. Can't wait to race on this board.
131: This is one of my favorite boards in the line. It has great range in winds from 8 - 25 knots. It seems I can trim this board out very comfortably in all types of winds by simply moving the base forwards or aft. Compared to the 133 this board has better acceleration and reaction in getting from 1/4 speed to top speed and the top end speed has increased quite a bit. I use this board with a Meanline 48 cm fin in almost all conditions except well powered on my 8.0 in which case I will switch to a 46. I like this board on 8.0 to 9.5 sails.
Cyril Moussilmani
86: Simply the best slalom board for all kind of condition. Pozo 5,4 to Defi wind with 7,0m fins size 32 to 34cm deboichet.
94: The board you can use every where with any sails 5,4 to 7,8. size fin's 32 to 36 cm
101: wind board for big sails you can use 7,0 to 7,8 with 36 and 38 cm fins
111: The board for medium condition to 7,0 to 8,5 or 9m for light guys. size fins 38 to 42cm
121: The small guys light wind board ideal for very light guy's who scare to take the boomba 131 size fins 42 to 48 cm
131: The Boomba for light wind race, a very easy board with a increadible wind range 6 to 25 knots it's simply fantastic. size fins 48 to 52cm.
