Love my 8m soul in 10 knots. 85 kgs Moses 683 line length doesn't really matter, have used 15m to 25m.
Possible to go on my 6m Nova also with 18m lines in 10 knots but she's a bit of struggle and I usually need to pump my board and do two loops.

65 kg
SS sst wave 9m,
24 or 27m lines. Can use both in 10knots
SS hoverglide H5
SS DC 42inch
Below 10knots I get underpowered
I plan to buy a foil kite (11m sonic) soon and a bigger wing like the Apollo to increase low end
