For me the specs on lots of these so called PW boards are far from ideal.
I am looking at 60 to 70 litres but I don't want a 5'6 or 5'8. I want at least 5'10 and ideally 6'

yes, when will they ever keep that length and get MUCH THINNER (encouraging to see the KT claiming the Arc is thinner, although specs I'm seeing show those dims as TBA)

Actually the thickness specs are up on the website now for the Arc and no longer TBD.

Looks like Big Winds already has the listing up with limited info up and this board ain't cheap!

I would look less at volume and more at thickness, as in you want less thickness under your feet. If anything a thinner board with the same or less volume will offer more stability.

Grantmac, what dimensions (length, width, thickness, volume) does your current board have? and how much do you weigh?

Looking for your help with some information I'm having difficulty finding online. I don't have the opportunity to demo a lot of boards and would love your help understanding how much boards of different volume differences sink when there's no wind. Assume that the weight I'm talking about is the TOTAL weight of everything (rider, foil, wing, board, wetsuit).

How much does the board sink at these weight differences between weight in kg and liters. Board is flush with water? Board sinks to your ankles? Board sinks to your calves? Waist?

+10 difference (80kg total weight, 90L board)
+5 difference (80kg total weight, 85L board)
0 difference (80kg total weight, 80L board)
-5 difference (80kg total weight, 75L board)
-10 difference (80kg total weight, 70L board)
-15 difference (80kg total weight, 65L board)etc.

Thank you!
