Hi Al,
if you like your m° SL137, then your only choice is between Tribal Radix 128 and Tribal Radix 135 ...
Please don't think it's just the length that makes the difference. Board shape is MUCH MORE than just the "numbers" you see, such as length/width/volume/weight. As an example, the CarbonArt boards I used to sail up to 2013 and the m° SL boards such as yours, had about the same length but very different behaviour. In my experience older '08 and '09 CarbonArt and the m° SL were somewhat comparable, while newer CarbonArt (I had '10, '11 and '12) were pretty much different. More recently I used '21 FMX boards, the smaller ones (98 and 108) are 235 cms long, the Radix I am using now are 239 (and the most recent Radix are 237 now), but TOTALLY different on the water. Much more than one would expect by the numbers only.

To complete my previous post.
My Tribal Radix 128 behaves very closely to the m° SL137 I owned and used from '14 to '20, BUT without its shortcomings. Same is for the Radix 110 compared to the m° SL112.
The Radix are lighter, feel more lively, plane even easier, accellerate quicker.
I will not discuss speed, as their common designer Chris Lockwood clocks over 40 knots on any older m° SL or Tribal Radix size: all of them, m° or Tribal, are evidently more than enough fast for most of us if not for all.
On the other hand, the Tribal Radix kept all of the nice sweet behaviour of the m° boards, with incredible control and huge (probably even better) range. My previous m° SL137 felt better with a 7.7/7.5 (S2Maui Venom) than with 8.4/8.2, while my Radix 128 feels same as nice and more compact with 7.5, and better suited than the m° with 8.2. Same story with the Radix 110 vs. m° SL112: both are just superb with 7.0/6.7 sails, but the Radix does much better than the m° with 7.7/7.5. So I'd say that the Radix kept the ease and control of the previous designs in their higher range, and got better in lesser winds.

Hello, j’ai la Fox 135 c’est un super flotteur. Je pense qu’elle sera un peu moins nerveuse mais par contre elle est extrêmement confortable dans le clapot et supporte très bien aussi le vent fort. Pour ma part je l’utilise en 7.8 (je fais 72 kg) mais elle supportera beaucoup plus gros en toile. À l’abattée elle est vraiment rapide et très safe ! je conseille vivement

Pour la Fox il faut la booster avec un très bon aileron de slalom

Bonjour à tous,

Désolé pour mon silence, j'étais un peu sur d'autres sujets...
Mais la saison approche à grand pas, et je n'ai toujours rien acheté. Il faut dire, aucun des vendeurs trouvés sur Le Bon Coin n'accepte d'expédier sa planche (alors que c'est devenu tellement simple aujourd'hui... )

Bref, j'ai fait le tour des shops en ligne, pas grand chose à se mettre sous la dent (hors du neuf, pas les moyens...).
J'ai trouvé quand même quelques modèles abordables : Goya Bolt Pro 4 2025, Tabou Rocket +Team 2025 et 2024, JP super Sport Wood 2025.

Vous avez testé ces modèles?

Merci
