Super7, if you are using a 15.5 and even need a bigger one, it seems that conditions are around 10 knots or so...:( Just like you i am a big guy, around 105kg, so a bit of wind would not hurt. I want to ask you one more question on where to buy equipment. From hearing you i would conclude that i would need big slalom/course racing equipment. Should i bring equipment from europe, or can i also buy it in Qatar and is that economical?
