I'm between the 5,0 by 26 and 92 L and the 5,4 by 26 and 104 L. I'm 82 kg, and main use will be Sup foil.
I have 2 years of sup foil, using between 96 liters to 105 in my downwind board.
Do you have any recommendations?
Is anybody using the 5,0?

I tried dropping down to 95L once and I'm roughly your same weight, it's doable, but tough. It wasn't a Kalama shape, so take it with a grain of salt, but.......I feel like you need stability either in the width (I'm on the 5'2" x 28), or length .........5'4" x 26" would be my call between those two. I went with the shorter and wider, because the majority of what I ride is short period bumps. I feel like bigger, longer period work better with the longer, skinnier boards.
Thanks for the input Adam.
I rode a Sunova aviator 6'0 for a while, and this was 96 L. That was fine for me.
But once tried an 85 L 4,8 by 26 and could not stay on top for more than 2 secs.
I had a custom 5'6 by 26, 115 L and that was fine.
It looks like length is a big factor in stability because I'm riding a downwind board 6,9 by 19 and I have no problem at all.
For sup, I'm inclined to go for the 5,4 by 26, but that will be a dog for winging, and I'm looking for a single board for trips.
I ride the 5'4 for both sup and wing.
