Hi

I am a big fellow, 220 lbs and 6 foot 3 inch. When I sail togeher with my more experienced and (mutch) lighter windsurfer friends, It seems to me that I need to rig bigger sails than my friends. When they sail on 100-115 L boards with 5.7 sails, I have to go up to 6.7 on my
150 L GO to get fully powered.
Is this normal, or is it just my lack of proper technique?
