Probably do able by an experienced super athlete, but the blasts are a bit short and wide for that kind of thing. Blasts are shorter than a traditional mid length so you need a bit more power (like a wing).
For example I can get up on my blast 75 with a parawing but i need a few more knots, then get overpowered when up on foil.
So an axis mini dart will be much better for parawing. Still a great board but I wouldnt SUP it. old axis DW or frank or dart will be the go.

does anyone know if a bigger Blast (e.g., 105L) would be good as a light wind board for a 90 kg rider? I've sold my mid lengths as I just don't like the way they ride so want a larger volume but shorter board for light winds.

Thanks width and length isn't a problem I can sup foil 75 litre Armstrong mid length easily ,I've sup foiled the duotone skybrid 70 litre .my concerns some boards seem to be a bit sticky to get too foil.

definately stickier than an armstrong v1 midlength (wider and shorter) but more stable.

The 105 litre would be great for a light wind board for a big guy. stable and light
