I have the 7'11 x 27'' 85,4 liters. I acn say that this board is super stable for its volume! I'm 1,80 m and 70.71 kg. I usually ride boards around 92 to 96 l and I my last boards were a 106 liters and a 116 liters (way to stable for me). I was passionate for Infinity boards for a long time (since I visited the store in 2012) and I had the opportunity to become a dealer in Portugal. I chose the 7'11 because I wanted a more performance oriented board and I was willing to sacrifice satbility and to suffer a bit to get a board that surfs better. Now that I've tested it in various conditions I think I could have gone smaller (7'7 x 26'' 78,8 l). The boards is amazingly stable for its volume. The first time I've tried (on a flat day and windy (side-off)), I didn't fell and I could paddle it comfortably, pivot turn it, etc. You can see my first test here: www.facebook.com/SUPnorte/videos/1242939045803733/
I've surfed it afterwards in realy tough conditions (25 knots, backwash, rips, etc) and I fell a fw times but not more than what I was used to on bigger boards.
The rails are super fin, so they don't get bounced with the wind or chop, and my feet are still outside the water. And compared to other boards it's glides well and it fairly easy to catch waves. See here: www.facebook.com/nuno.p.desousa/videos/vb.1166541903/10212993494889862/
And it's surf really well! Fast, responsive, with really thin rails and good flex and coil. It feels like you're on a surfboard.
Here are a few photos of the board:

Im 84kg and 5'10 mate and found the 8'2 surprisingly stable when I first got on it. I usually ride in the 115 - 125L @ 29- 30 inches wide board range so wasnt a huge drop. Alot more underwater than I normally like so it took a little bit of getting used to. At that volume I wouldnt ride it everyday but in those cleaner days definitely. The 8'5 @115L would be more my style of every day board. Less paddling required to stay standing #lazypaddler
