Hi Tim97

Tough question! How much do you weigh? I'm guessing a 4.5 in 20 knots. I guess it comes down to finding a sail size for you and your board that is not over-powered (scary lack of control) or underpowered (not planning, not moving fast enough). Trial and error I'm afraid. What size sails do you have at the moment?

hello tim97

I reckon a 3.0 metre to a 3.5 metre sail.

I am 11 years old I use a 3.3 metre sail on my 100 litre
fanatic wave board in these conditions.
