Regarding the previous post, last year I bought a used Gorge Animal 7'10"
for those really windy days (the Gorge blew like crazy). I got it to
replace a Seatrend 8'3" which was too hard to control on jumps and too
difficult to keep down when I did not want to jump (I'm 140#).

The Gorge Animal I have is perfect for 4.0 and under wind. The first time I
could sail 3.5/3.0 at Tomales and actually have fun.

Now for a question: I want a board for 4.5 to 5.5 wind for use mainly at
3rd, Rio and Berkeley. I am leaning heavily towards the Naish 8'7" but
several people have suggested the 8'5" instead. I seldom sail the surf.
Jumping and carving the swell are my main requirements. Any boards equal to
the Naish but not so expensive? Anyone riding a Naish?

Jerry
