My suggestion is that she give it a go in good conditions then decide after that if a big board is still necessary. This should be a size that can keep her occupied until she's jibing then she could look at moving down to a ~50L board which is pretty much prone foil board territory or find a mini downwind board to get the most time on the water locally. Good luck!
Thanks adam2 (and Slappy). What would you consider good conditions to give it a go? I've only winged once myself (on a SUP), never windfoiled, and am pretty much the only regular slalom fin windsurfer regularly out there. As such, my perspective is heavily skewed. Her and I are relying very heavily on the instruction, direction, and experience of her Windsure instructor. We also really value the feedback and experience of local wingers who learned to wing around Locarno and Jericho and continue to regularly wing there. Her and I want to ensure she gets a good solid start and foundation.
