Hi Vlad,

Get a 3.7 and 3.3 for sure and possibly a 2.8. People your size find
there is enough wind on most days to make a 267cm board their regualr
board and go smaller when it gets windy.

I'm 230#, sail 267, 274,285 and 289cm boards and have been really glad I
had my 4.1 sail with the 267cm board. The day I sailed the 4.1, I would
have been better off with a 3.7 too.

I usually sail a 5.5 or 6.5 these days and go for just enough flotation
boardwise to work, but often we get more wind.

Enjoy your stay!

Kirk out
