I'm just a couple of kg lighter than you are JJ and the Acid 80 with a 5.8 MS Global or 5.7 Legend works exceptional well for me. It handles that sized sail easily without ever feeling like there is too much sail. It will plane for me in 15-16 knots of steady wind and with a bigger fin like the Drake 25, I can easily get upwind. I have a preference of smaller boards and actually prefer the PA80 over the PA86 with the 5.8.
