At 75 kg, I pretty much agree with Maximus that you want a 110-130 L board; bigger won't be that much of a penalty if it's never more than small chop. I never rode a HS, but the size range is right. I also would use a similar size sail - 8.5-9.0 in hard-to-plane conditions; going down to a 6.5 (2 meter interval not a problem from an 8.5 size).
