I don't know if it's possible to water start a pumpfoilboard with a wing, but I figure 35l should be doable. I hope I can test it out soon.

Water starting is easy if it's windy. 32 L board here.

Arc 58 L and 48 L here in this clip.

How are the waves at your spot? And what kind of riding are you eventually after? There are lots of viable options in the older SAB ranges, which you can find super cheap now. For example the w1110 ( sabfoil.com/en/products/front_wing_1110_ltd ) is such a gem, and rides like so:





And the old SAB w980 rides like so:





I'd suggest to talk to a local shop (whatever the brand) that has lots of riding experience with their gear, and see if they perhaps have older models in stock. With foiling it's all about matching your riding style with your local conditions - the speed of your waves, wind strength, etc.

Super easy to learn with the straps, especially when having former windsurfing background and used to fine tuning the gear until it feels perfect. But then at some point it just clicks and the straps are no longer necessary. Depending on what kind of riding you are after of course.
