I'm between the 5,0 by 26 and 92 L and the 5,4 by 26 and 104 L. I'm 82 kg, and main use will be Sup foil.
I have 2 years of sup foil, using between 96 liters to 105 in my downwind board.
Do you have any recommendations?
Is anybody using the 5,0?
Best
I tried dropping down to 95L once and I'm roughly your same weight, it's doable, but tough. It wasn't a Kalama shape, so take it with a grain of salt, but.......I feel like you need stability either in the width (I'm on the 5'2" x 28), or length .........5'4" x 26" would be my call between those two. I went with the shorter and wider, because the majority of what I ride is short period bumps. I feel like bigger, longer period work better with the longer, skinnier boards.
Thanks for the input Adam.
I rode a Sunova aviator 6'0 for a while, and this was 96 L. That was fine for me.
But once tried an 85 L 4,8 by 26 and could not stay on top for more than 2 secs.
I had a custom 5'6 by 26, 115 L and that was fine.
It looks like length is a big factor in stability because I'm riding a downwind board 6,9 by 19 and I have no problem at all.
For sup, I'm inclined to go for the 5,4 by 26, but that will be a dog for winging, and I'm looking for a single board for trips.
I ride the 5'4 for both sup and wing.
Thanks all for the advice. I finally went for the 5,0 by 26 , 92 L. Let's see how it goes.
I have a 6,9 by 20 for serious days, so I hope the 5,0 will cover flat small days.
How's it going on the 5'0"?
I wing on E3 5' x 26"/92L and weigh 175 #'s.
I also have E3 5'10" x 29"/123L which I bought for SUP foil and used for mostly for winging when my original wing board was being repaired.
I have limited SUP foil experience - find it challenging even on the 123L.
I had a two sup foil and 2 wing session. The board is perfect for sup foil, I weight 175 lb, and float is at the limit but the board has good stability. These small boards require you to catch waves in the right spot. For light wind wing works very well. Overall very happy, its a good board for a single board trip.
