Report back how things are going after you get a few sessions on the F-Type. I'm curious what you'll find the planing threshold is for the 7.5. I was surprised how light the wind was when I got my 8.0 planing on my F-Type 148. It is a good board for that. Also, don't forget to pay attention to what fin you get. All you might need is a larger fin ($100~) instead of a slightly larger sail ($500~).
