Hey:

I keep reading here about heavyweights over 100 kilos using 130 liter boards and 6.5 sails in 16 to 20 knot winds

At about the same weight, i use 160 liter/79 cm board with 8.x sail in those conditions...

What is the difference
Salt Water vs Fresh ??
Skills ? i am only junior intermediate - beach start, harness , planing, but no foot straps nor carve jibes - use rail rather than footstraps = phobia :(
