im 75 kg also and I think of the 8 noise like a 9m of other brands and the 10 noise as an 11m of other brands
i use the 10 up to 18 knots and the 8 up to 23 knots, maybe more if i cant be bothered changing size. i use them with a surfboard.

Hey Andy,
kited flat water with a buddy recently in marginal 13+kt conditions
I was on my Octane 11m (using 35m lines) and 149 chopstick
ol' m8 was on his BWS 8m, std lines and my 134 influence TT.
He was killing me for power and upwind. He's a waaaaayyyyyy better kiter than me but everyone else that day was on 10s, 12s & some big dudes on 14s. Without my long lines, I would a been on the beach like a lotta other folks who only packed sub 10s.
The 8 BWS is a beast and is not a 'real' 8 at all.
Ol' m8 is also 10kg heavier than me, BWS = +2m easy
