I am 65kg and use the 4'10 from light to strong winds. I tried the 5'1 EVO and it felt huge...the 5'3 must be a boat to move around. Choose the smallest size you can for these boards! Even the 4'10 is already 2" thick and 18" wide.
In comparison my Jimmy lewis qwad is 5'4 but way harsher (but snappier) due to its 17.5w and 1.8 thickness. I only use it in glassy conditions. The Evo is so much more versatile.
For good level rider in powered up conditions (EVO):
4'10 75kg and under
5'1 75kg~90kg
5'3 90kg+
Anything bigger than 5'3 avoid or use it for paddle surfing!
