I just took a quick gander at...

http://www.sccsi.com/Mistral/boards.html

and found that their Energizer (9'2/110L) is roughly equal to my Delta Speed.
Their Evolution is 10'2/149L and is smallest board of theirs w/centerboard, for
whatever that's worth.

The malibu is 170 liters and the Equipe II is 258 liters (!).

yeah, you know, could be in that I moved my girlfriend (somewhat smaller than
me :) off of an Evolution-or-Malibu-equivalent (F2 Comet) onto my Delta Speed
in fairly rapid order.

>Then I did the weight/Vol calc and saw I
really needed to be on an Equipe to plane in comparable winds.

So you're saying the relationship of volume-to-rider-weight is somewhat linear
in your experience?
