While I have no clue if it's right I guess the fact that one probably does not have to jibe all that much in a long distance race might mean that a smaller board makes sense (given that it's probably faster at top speed) whereas in a slalom with many jibes getting away from the jibes quickly and being able to head above people on the course may be of more importance?
