Hi Sailboarder,
Sure, you can get a little extra range from almost any board with some pumping to get going,
But you need to consider the volume and be willing to swim the board and rig back in to the beach(94 liters is going to bea semi-sinker for a 210 lb. (95 Kg.) sailor.) if the wind drops quickly.
Also consider that your smaller higher wind sails don't give you as much "boost onto plane" as do larger sails > 6.0 m2.
Hope this helps,
Roger
