Funny from someone that dosen't ride slalom gear. Although noticeable when you first ride them, eventually it all becomes natural and you dont notice their tendancy to go upwind. You can tune them to not have be so much like that- mast track forward or boom lower if I remember correctly.

Yes be very aggressive with hypers- especially gybing the more aggressive you are the better you will do. Nose diving whilst schlogging you standing too far forward- on 133 you should be back foot between straps, and front half way between straps & mastfoot at furtherest. To get it planing move back as far as possible without sinking. I've found hypers dont have alot of footpressure except back foot when using big fin. Trim them flat, don't rail up on leeward edge and stay committed.

I have a 111, check the starboard archives for sail size. I use down to 5.5 comfortably (deepish draft 5.5 though) and up to 9m, 133 ideal would be 7-10m.
