I am sorry but for you you seem to be the kind of guy having his opinion and not listening what the other peaople are trying to tell you.

I am not a leightweight but i really have to say that to combine the right board with an appropriate sail size is much better idea than trying to convince that 9qm is good on 100liters.

I have the feeling on my boards that the best suitable sailsize for the board is somewhere in 2/3 of the reange, that's when I feel really comfortable. I fact in light wind you probably have a bigger fin on your board to get you on a plane quickly, but it makes the board really unstable when speeded up.

Use your boards with whatever sail you want and we all will sailing with rigth combos.

Ciao Michal.
