Which size is he using?
Is it a mistake to use 5'3 rather than 5'6 weighing 75 kilograms, wanting to practice strapless hooked freestyle?
How do they compare?

I have no clue what he's using, but......I had the 5'3" and I''m roughly 78 kgs, fun board to throw around, but definitely needs some wind. I'd say it really needs 15-18 knots in most situations before it's fun. At 75 kg you will be fine on it though.

i could bet is using the 5"3,5"6 is feeling a little big underfoot,except if you want something only for low wind,also if you have any option to demo these boards,i would also check the x breed.
