Compared to the larger Carves (133, 144, 162), the F-Types are more race-orientated, delivering a more locked-in racing feel with real Formula-like power to handle large sails and large fins. The F-Types fly upwind and go deep downwind, unlike the Carves that mainly are made for reaching in and out. The F-types are also wider, making them laterally more stable. The Carves would be more suitable for a pure freerider, when the sailor is looking for a more “reach & jibe” style of sailing. Compared to the S-Types, the F-Types offer a wider wind-range, bringing performance sailing to lower wind limits with greater power and better upwind/downwind abilities. They do not jibe or maneuver as well as the S-Types that are much narrower. However, being wider means that the F-Types have the lateral stability to suit progressing sailors. The S-Types would be more suitable if you are looking for more medium to high wind orientated designs, with high slalom-type performance. Narrower widths mean that the S-Type will be more maneuverable but more technically demanding. Compared to the Formulas, the F-Types are more accessible with their inboard inserts, rounded deck shapes and softly tucked rails. They jibe better than the Formulas and have a much higher fun factor. The construction of the F-Type boards is also stronger than that of the ultra-lightweight Formulas. The Formulas are more suitable for ultimate Course-racing performance, with maximum speed in lightwind and upwind conditions, at the expense of poorer maneuverability, accessibility and comfort.
