67kg.
low end would be 6.6 and 104L.
High end 5.5 and 78L freewave.

I have always thought it is my weight that makes it very hard to hold down a 104L board in chop. Fine in flat water with 5.5 and 104L but as soon as it is solid 15-20 knots the 78L is so much more fun.

Sounds familar..no wonder my 125 is a handful..need a 105 /110..

For your weight Sue, I suspect that 125L would be a bit big and floaty, unless you go out a lot in very marginal conditions. Even the 95L would be getting a bit big for your weight on the top end of 20 knots in choppy water where it becomes harder to hold down a floaty board if you're a lightweight. I'm around 75kg and can comfortably use an 85L freeride & 5.9 in 15-20 knots.

The trance for the off season?

I am surprised how accurate is everybody with wind speed measurements.
I could only relay on SB graphs and according to this: 80kg;
when I don't expect more then 25ktn in gust I will stay with my RAM 8.0m2 and 130L Fanatic X-ray 44cm fin when below 20 ktn,
and switch to 110L Naish Supercross, 32 cm when 20 to 25 with same sail.
Above 25ktn I reach for my 5.7 m and JP92 or Naish 84L .

Possibly I need to use anemometer more often as this numbers seems to be extreme in comparison to all above even if I prefer always sail is slightly overpower conditions.

I have a buoy on my lake with wind data logging which I always check after a session.

Here's a pic of my setup in the upper limit of conditions. I think it was gusting to mid-20s that day.
