Has anybody ridden or owned one?

I'm tempted as a light wind board but I've only found a couple of reviews.

I'm currently thinking the 6'6 or 6'8 to suit my 85kg....

I have the smallest size for an all purpose for my 80kg +wetsuit. I love it.

i have a Kalama for true light wind.

I had a very brief go on one last week. I believe it had 90 litres, not sure what length that is.
I was out on my Takoon Escape 8'0" with Sabfoil WL1150. The other guy had a Sabfoil Razor Pro 975. We swapped boards on the water. Wind was pretty light but take off was effortless. Board glides well through the water. Not as good as the Escape, but well enough to get my 85+kg going. Less swing weight, more nimble and manouverable feel.

Thanks what was stability like on the 90l? How strong was the wind that day?

I am a similar weight and not sure whether to go 90l or 100l.

how about the roll stability when started? I have a Gong Cruzader 6'6 but its way too instable in chop and small wave conditions

I have the 6.6. It is 6.5kg without straps. I am 86kg and use it as my lightwind board. Normal light wind from around 13 knots with a 1000cm foil so nothing extremely lightwind. you could propably do that with a bigger foil because it floats and is easy to pump on speed. The board is super stabel without being massive. It is still very good to ride waves on and i can sail it in 30 knots but for that i prefer my 6.2 ultra glide :)
