In this video, Dan Gavere explains the different sizes of boards to be used with a Foil Wing. For learning a larger volume 110-160 liters, the board will be much easier than a board with very low volume I.E. 100 Liters which is going to be very challenging to learn on for any rider over 170 lbs. Having the extra float and width help to get going and not having to worry so much about foot precise placement, allowing riders to get up and riding with much more forgiving results.
