Can I get user opinions on the sizing of the topic board, I am concerned they might be a bit under estimated for there volume as the shape looks a lot smaller than an equivalent volume board from another manufacturer with a squarer outline shape ?
Specifically the 85 litre ?

I have the 85 and it feels more like a 80. However, without doing a proper submersion test in the lab...it's only a guess. ;)
Love that board. I know they'll be releasing a new one soon but there's only minor tweaks for me that I'd make.

Brilliant, exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks

I also ride the 85 and I think the sizing is pretty accurate. It feels smaller and lower volume compared to the 80L LT version.

For me at 70kg, the 75L is even better to ride.

The board I think "feels" alot smaller. I've progressed from 85, 75 and briefly had 60L. I think they feel 10 to 15L smaller than others particularly square nosed boards. I'm 78kgs

IanInca does the 75 float you at 78kg slogging in no wind, or sink? I'm considering it as a one board quiver, at your weight.

Totally fine slogging back. I can also kneel and use the wing.
