I really like that explanation Bryan.
So if I am about speed, aggressive and advanced parawinging, flat bottom.
If my location doesn't have strong wind, i am just learning, or just cruising, then a rocker to get me up as quickly as possible.

Cool. Few months ago I actually watched your stowing and redeploying the ozone pocket rocket video. Do you still use this technique?
Talking about 2-3 ft waves, I know for you guys this isn't much but ours aren't as clean and all over the place. I use the technique of getting half of my body to lie on the board, wing over my head holding with one hand, and crawl onto the board using the second hand, and quickly grabbing the wing handle. Once on my knees and holding a wing with both hands, I am good. It seems like I might need to go back to the conventional way of just getting on my knees as that's how most people get up using a parawing.

Thanks Doug and others but one thing I am seeing: you guys are recommending around 80L board and I was thinking 100L.
I an winging on lakes, light wind between 10 and 20 knots. My weight is 80kg, never been on a parawing but can do foot switches, started to do tacks.

I do enjoy the extra float as it's cold where i am and again, lighter winds and I am not a pro like you guys. What say you?

I've just changed to the Sunova Mid Pilot 6'5x19x68lts, I'm 81kgs. These are actually a prone board, not a shrunken DW board so have a very flat rocker. No need to rock these to get on foil, they just accelerate quickly to foiling speed. Even though they are narrow they sit low in the water and are quite stable. If the wind dies you will sink, but super easy to prone paddle back in. At 6'5 any gust gets you up on top of the water and the low volume is amazing on a swell.
Tried mine with FD the other day, works great but better with a para.
Note, you need to fit your own deck pad.
i predict we will see a lot more boards similar to this or the Omen Emessary for para in the future, length without the volume.

Gav did speak very well about Emissary. The nose on your sunova seems very straight.

Here is the rocker line with a straight edge on it.

Oh, that looks really good. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

Thanks guys. I do think thickness and bottom profile has a lot to do with it. My 100L swift is 6'3x20x5.4 (190x51x14 cm) so it's deep in the water and just rolls.

Just looked at smik, their 6'0x22@106L doesn't provide thickness and tried searching but couldn't find anything.
@hilly and @robbo1111 do you know their thickness?

@Pasquales the sunova 95L is 5 3/8" (and rest of dimensions are similar to swift) but the bottom profile is more flat.Maybe it's the rider that is a problem?

I currently have a 100L Cabrinha Swift ML board (I weight 80 kg). It's fine but I find it unstable in bigger waves.
I've been thinking of getting a more stable ML board so why not get one that will also help with parawinging.

I heard that for parawinging, the board should have more weight on the front? Any other specific characteristics?

What board would you recommend in the 100L to 120L that is "parawing proof?
