The woman is 5' and a 105lbs , so it gets complicated..
We have been using an 11'6" bic windsup which I bought to replace a stolen SIC Recon sup .
I do all the rigging etc
and she is able to sail out and return after about 45 minutes of sailing over 3 lessons in light wind.
For us to sail together my next biggest board is an Isonic 122l which I have done but isnt much fun.( sub 10 knts) .
So I'm looking for a small and or light board she can grow into but that I'll sail to be on the water with her in the interim hence something inexpensive and temporary(mainly for me to sail with her) or cough up for real.
I think the 165 explorer (which I can sail in anything)will work for her as an all around board and if she grows into highwind I've got that covered with my existing quiver.
Apologies for being long winded but as I said it's complicated.
