New to foiling...been SUPING, surfing & kite surfing for many moons.

Getting into foiling & keen on the new Naish Hover, but trying to decide if the 125L will give enough stability for a beginner 80kg & 6'3"?
I'm thinking the 140L is too big & wide for me...?

Conditions for riding mostly 10-15kts & small chop.

I know this variation of question has been asked before - but maybe some guys riding similar boards could chime in?
Any advice is welcome!

I'm 6'3" also but I'm almost 100 kgs and I find my Hover 125 just fine.. It was a little tippy the first few times but it soon became pretty stable and I think if you went with the bigger 140 L board you would be looking to upgrade to the smaller 125 L board in no time.. If possible you should demo first to be sure.. I'd recommend getting a very large foil (at least the 1650) and it will help you heaps to learn foiling.. I'm using the Hover 125 L board and the big 2450 foil in this vid with the big 6m wing.

I have the 2019 Hover Crossover 120 liter. At 90 kgs, it floats me well. Yesterday took it out . I don't have a foil at the moment, so went wing SUPing. Wind died then got a paddle to SUP. Just a really fun board.
That being said, have you considered buying a used board? There are some on the site that might work for you. You may start on a larger board, then want to downsize.
