Hey Guys - Yet another what size question
I want to see if I get get a smaller board as I hate massive boards since giving up windsurfing...At 70kg say if I develop moderate skill what would be a small board size for pumping the sh*t out of foil? I'm not interested in just going up and down leisurely and WANT something difficult to learn...Thinking of buying Moses 945 so I can use it with winging and kite surfing. wind range - 15-25kts

I'm 90 kg and now ride a 55L board (Fanatic Skywing 4'8"). I was hesitant to go this small, but its not that bad getting up if you have decent wind, which it sounds like you do! It's a lot easier to pump a small board. Weight also makes a difference so you can also use that to distinguish your board choices.
You could easily go negative on bouyancy, sub 70L, with your weight class. A 55-65L would be epic.
