165 lbs. windsurfing since 1981. Mostly flat water these days. lake Lopez and South Padre Island are my main spots. The largest sail I have is a 5.8 Ezzy Zeta. Largest windsurfing board is a Tabou 3s 96. Just got a Sling Shot board and foil.
Only been out 5/6 times. Its fly's pretty easy with my 5.2 Zeta in very light winds. When the wind picks up I plug my 5.2 into my 3s and keep going.
Works well at my local spot. Just need rain to fill up Lopez

Check out Tobago! A GREAT sailing venue and can be easy on the wallet. My connecting flight from Vancouver was through Toronto so it should be a pretty cheap destination for you from Montreal. Jem Hall and Peter Hart do clinics there. Catch one if you time it right. Back on topic...

With this setup planing for me starts at about 11-12 knots.
I'm considering the addition of either an 8.6 NX or 8.5 Retro. This would become my largest sail. I'd likely need a larger fin as well.

Kona One with the red 9.0 Kona sail. I also have an Alpha Lightwind Race 375 at 250 liters and a Mistral Superlight. I like longboards and they work well for lake sailing in Louisiana. Love my Ezzy Cheetah 8.0 too. Just acquired an old RRD Easyride Large, it's huge, like sailing a door. Using it to get some new folks involved in windsurfing. I'm a 205 pound old fart. Still learning and progressing.
