I have the 5m, its low end pump ability is fantastic, closest to a hand wing so far. Power generation superb, very fast, flys upwind, but as its a much wider span turning is harder and harder to collapse stash, some of that might be because its a 5m though. I can imagine the 3.6m being special. Also tacks are a dream.

For light wind if you have shorter lines youll need a bigger size equalling more canopy material, or longer lines and a smaller size. Cant have it both ways. Personally, in light winds I dont have much in the way of waves anyway, my waves come with wind
