Hey
im on list for a Takoon PW and thinking about board size.
what are ppl finding is the best size board to go for? I'm 82kgs. I use the wing to stabilise my 20" ML board when standing up, I tried balancing without the wing and its tricky.

Advice appreciated.

Hard to give a simple answer so many variables.

I am no expert but after a few goes I can get up on my 5 10 x 21 x 85l with a 900cm2 foil using a 2.9 BRM in solid 25 knots. I am 90kg. Under that I struggle to get the momentum to start, once up its all good. If I made the board, the foil or the parawing larger the amount of wind I need would drop. With more experience I would need less wind.

So go big to learn the basics then drop down just like winging.

This vid shows the advantages of a bigger board and foil. He just comes straight up on foil. I tend to flap around a lot
