I have big feet and wear booties. On my 2010 isonic 101, I had to replace the drake straps and also use the additional inserts to widen the straps further.
Also, to place the straps a bit...

I'm 86 kilos. I've used an 8.5 on the isonic, but indeed it felt like the biggest reasonable sail. I was using a 40cm goldwing and it was ok. Was looking for 44-42cm to get extra power. Can't...

I'm experimenting with an old fin's interantional slalom fin in 46cm in my isonic 101 for extremely low winds and 8.5 sails. At the very low end, the fin planes like crazy and goes upwind easily. ...

That's great - I've also had a lot of satisfaction with my foray into formula. The uphauling does suck, but you learn not to drop your sail pretty fast. For me, the key with uphauling is to do it...

Any advice on buying the "expensive" fins used?
I understand that g10 gets soft with use - the modern big fins are carbon, right? So, there should be no issue with...
