The title pretty much says it all, ie. anyone has used these to give feedback on these? Also they are a bit longer than some of the boards similar liters, but would it matter much?

I'm 72.5 kg so you may need extrapolate for your weight. I started on the F-ONE 105 liter V2 and then moved down progressively to the 85 liter and now the 75 liter. For overall riding, I found (oddly to me) the jump felt bigger going from 85 to 75 than from 105 to 85. But that's not really your question. At my weight, the 75 liter works great in super light wind. No problem being in almost zero and standing up. It's stable and gets on a plane super quickly. I can turn the 75 liter with my ankles whereas the 85 requires a little more effort but is also more forgiving where I put my feet on the foot switch. Also, I'm riding a range of F-ONE foils: 1080, 1280, 1480. The board handles all equally well. I definitely do not feel the need for a bigger board for lighter winds at my weight. At some point in my life I will try a smaller board but I'm pretty happy right now with the 75 liter "one board does it all."
