Cabrinha question

[doc1]

I cant decide between those 2 boards, theT(HRUSTER and the S-KILLIT.Wich would be best for strapless riding starting from light wind?(220 pounds)

Skillit....hands down. It not only has significantly more surface area and volume, but its overall a better lightwind board.

I would recommend you try it with normal side fins and a smaller trailer fin

(..I would recommend you try it with normal side fins and a smaller trailer fin)..What diference will that make comparing to the normal set-up?

It would be alot less drag. The majority of your drag is actually coming from your middle fin. So for light wind it would be better.
Also, if your using the board in light wind, your not gonna need as much hold, so your board will get alot more skaty feeling and fun.
IT WILL MAKE THE BOARD FEEL MORE ALIVE!

I have the Skillit 5'10". For pure surfing, it's not the greatest, but for light wind and strapless freestyle it is rad. Also, you have to get used to riding off the fins in the surf rather than setting a rail. It carries a lot of width in the nose and tail so the board goes in nothing. The board has great pop and legit surfboard construction rather than looking like a small windsurfer. If you watch the pictures that scroll across the top of this page, there is a picture of me popping the Skillit into my hand wearing some black/pink board shorts. The board is rad for light winds and seriously is easy for the freestyle stuff and small crappy waves. Enjoy!
