Having a few issues with the board sliding out at speed
useing a 34" with a 6.5 NP V8 and or a 7.2 rs on about 120 lt board I am about 90kg
another problem is getting on the plan I have had this board a good few years but find it takes a lot of wind to get it to plane, once up and going its fine

I am I just getting to old and fat or do I need a bigger fin?

move your harness lines back so there is no pressure on your back hand. This will reduce spinnout.
Also consider a 36 or 38cm fin to improve early planing.

you need a bigger fin for those sails. I use a 37 cm fin with my 120 litre when i rig a 6.6 and a 31 cm with a my 5.3 that i use most the time. But I am looking for a wave board now, my board is way to big for our wind..

You need to move the balance forward by mast track or more outhaul

Don't listen to all their technical advice.

You are just getting old and fat.
