Is there a Foilboard out there that would allow you to do
1. KiteFoil (8 - 15 kts)
2. WingFoil (> 15 kts)
3. ProneFoil (no wind or Offshore)
< 5'4" for easy Air travel
Assume 75 kg Intermediate - Expert Foiler at all 3 disiplines
I understand that there will be compromises when designing a board for all 3 sports.

If you can handle between 30 and 40L for winging then I would recommend these.

These will work for all 3 sports.

I think Gunnar is right (of course he would be), a ~35L wing/prone board that you can use for kiting is probably the best option.
