Has anyone flown one of these?

The size (7.2) appeals to me as I'm a 100kg learner who wants to be able to get out on the yellow arrow (non-windsurfing) days.

I'm cautious of the aspect ratio..looks like it may become baggy and cumbersome while not producing much more power than a modern 6m.

Any experience or advice would be appreciated

It's a big GRUNTY wing.. Probably not ideal for learning even if a heavyweight.. Feels like a big yacht spinnaker going off the wind in very light conditions.. Not one of the best for going upwind.. Good for light winds on lakes and flat water.

Friend of mine is getting his 8 meter next week. His 7 is about the same as his 6. Takuma.
