So the first pic is me in 1985 Louisiana.
I sailed for 15 years then had kids ect and have not sailed in 20 years.
I bought some equipment Shark 150, sails ect... but Its just not working for me.
Its like the foot straps are too far back and the board will not plane.... I don't know..
I went from 170 lbs (78kg) to 240 lbs (110kg)... so that's a problem..

The only sail I feel balanced is an 8.0...
The 5.5 and 6.5 seem to pull hard but nothing happens... Am I really that heavy ?

I use a 52cm fin... I have tried a 35cm with the 5.5 and I can't get it to work.
Its like there is too much weight too far back on the board.
