Hi there. I’m a 15 year old windsurfer, I weigh 62 kilograms and I am around 167 cm (1.67m / 5′ 7”).

I’ve been windsurfing for about 6 years, 2 years in which I have taken the sport very seriously and gone windsurfing almost every day that was windy. I can easily do the beach start and I can do the water start aswell. I am currently working on my gybe, I can do about 75% of the gybes I attempt, and I only started working on it 2-3 weeks ago, so thats pretty good I think. I’m hoping to have the gybe ready in 2-3 weeks.

I am currently using a 4.7 Neilpryde expression sail. I am pretty happy with it but seeing my friends fly past me with sails in the range of about 6.2 really gets me =]

At times when the wind isn’t too strong I use my fathers 5.7 Neilpryde saber sail and it’s pretty easy to use it.

I am looking for a new sail, the question is, should I get a Neilpryde V6 6.5 sail, or a Loft Blade 6.2?

I am interested in something that is easy to lift out of the water (light) and even though Loft Blade has a 100% carbon mast, I’ve observed on the net that the NP V6 is a bit lighter. Can someone verify this?

And do you think I can pull off a 6.5? I would say I’m fairly strong. Is there a huge difference between 6.2 and a 6.5? Which of these two sails do you recommend?
