OK here I go again..
One of my boards is a beat-up yet very functional Fanatic Fly (bought from a School).
I believe it has the M8 Insert hole (see pic)



Can you please verify this for me ?

And assuming it is indeed that, does it make sense to buy a small (hence easier to lift/maneuver) sail rig and just try it out myself in light winds?

I have no problem taking lessons, but as in SUP itself, I found out I learn best by lots of practice by myself, with no time pressures or "peer pressure" to learn quickly.
Any tips/suggestions?
thanks
