Thanks for watching! I jJust Subscribed to your channel and look forward to following you. Yeah the Carves are pretty sweet boards. They live up to the hype. See you on YT.
Nice session Jake... but that ain't cold brother compared to the single digits we had up north here last week. Still cold this week but not as bad as last. You get some new gear or you just trying it out? S-Fox is supposed to eat chop like a piranha!
@@Drumbuoy545 yeah the Fox is new. Only the second time I have had it on the water. Very happy with it. Yeah, I know I am spoiled with this warm in comparison water. 😝
I think that's a little narrower than the Blast 145 (77cm) and I use either a 44cm or 47cm weed with it. The 47 is a lot more suitable for the 9.5. I've gotten it going with those and a straight select 43 but it's really touchy with a sail that big. I prefer the 44cm though because the big 47 is like a can opener sticking out of the back of the board.
Yeah, that is a can opener! I thought I would over power the 42, but it was fine in that lightish wind. More wind may prove unbalanced, but I do have a larger weed fin and straight fins 46-48. Only other time I have rode it was with a 7.5 and a 26 straight. So far I really like the Fox!
I have not had a chance to find out, only sailed it twice now at this flat water location. But advertising has it being a chop eater! It does have a significant vee in the bottom of it, so that has to be something. Sometime this winter I should have it in some good chop and will find out. Thanks for watching!
Well, I have only gotten to rid the Fox 140L twice, but really like it. My Carve is a 169L. So do to size difference I don't think it is a fair comparison. Both have premium construction quality. If you were able to ride a Carve 139L and a Fox 140L that would be a good comparison. I have not had a chance to do this but will if I get a chance. I know a guy who rides the 139 Carve. Anyway, If you are looking in that 140-145 range, the new Doutone Blast 145L would be a contender too. All 3 are great boards. Sorry not much help after all the above.
Nice video, the Carve is a really good board, I have the 139 Carve and also ride a lot with a 27 Delta fin in shallow water.👍

@@gusthunterwindsurfing thanks for getting back much apreciated will see what i can find got a old Starboard Isonic 135 wood 2006..
Looks good Jake, looks like you're enjoying your 140 Fox. Wonder how much wind/chop you could take that out on, with smaller sails. Maybe down to 5.5?

Jake, I've been thinking of getting a Carve for awhile, but lately I seen the Fox or Tabou Rocket, if you had to choose between Carve or Fox...?
