Hi Tim97

Tough question! How much do you weigh? I'm guessing a 4.5 in 20 knots. I guess it comes down to finding a sail size for you and your board that is not over-powered (scary lack of control) or underpowered (not planning, not moving fast enough). Trial and error I'm afraid. What size sails do you have at the moment?

Regards, Richard

hello tim97

I reckon a 3.0 metre to a 3.5 metre sail.

I am 11 years old I use a 3.3 metre sail on my 100 litre
fanatic wave board in these conditions.
