Knigit said you'll be lucky if you even get the rails wet.
What does this mean? Why do you need the rails wet..?
Ok what do you know about these..
2008 JP Supersport 118
2009 Exocet Scross s? 115
2007 Starboard Kombat Aero 117
Too many choices 
.. not enough knowledge
Ah, sorry. Was just me being silly. I was just saying that the board would float so high in the water that the sides wouldn't get wet
.
In my first post I was thinking that you were going for one size fits all board and felt that you could certainly get away with uphauling on a smaller board.
If you enjoyed the excite ride, and it was a good mix of easy uphauling, slogging and still enough fun on the plane then by all means go for one. Will definitely maximise your water time on the lighter days.

Hi Sue,
2009 saw me get back into sailing after a lay off and change over from '98 to '01 vintage gear to modern gear. If I were in your situation gear wise, I'd be looking at getting bigger sails first rather than a larger board. I'm 58kgs and my "light" wind board is a JP Slalom IV 60 (84 litres) which I sail with my 5.8 (prefer this on my 54cm high wind board), 6.7 and 7.4 sails. I have a different fin for each sail too as one fin doesn't fit all. I still manage to get planning as early as I did with my "older style" 120l 288cm board.
When I was looking at what to do, one of the guys here used the analogy of a car and engine saying putting wider tyres on the car isn't going to make it go any faster but putting in a bigger, more powerful motor will...
You're welcome to PM me for more info.
Thats why I bought the Tabou Rocket 140. It means if I really want to go for a sail and there is bugger all wind its still possible. Its a very stable platform when the wind dies and its a lot of fun when the wind picks up. To me its a great cruising board, very comfortable and feels fine underfoot.
Seems like lots of people seem to really loath boards that are much over 100 litres or so. Sure if you are young, fit, light, have plenty of consistent wind and have excellent technique, they are great. 15 years ago a Bombora Zot was my light wind board and that has about 90 litres of volume and is probably tippier than modern boards as they are fairly narrow.
However if your waterstarts are not 100%, especially with bigger sails that have cams, its good to know you can uphaul without any problems. Its also nice having a bigger board when you fluff a gybe and can wobble through the end as you flip the sail. Bigger boards make tacking easy too, which is important in light winds, not planning and trying to get upwind. If the wind drops away I like knowing I can sail back to shore.
A friend of mine bought a Tabou Rocket 135 after riding my board and he loves it.
if you want a board that will guarantee tow and plane in light winds you could always look at a longboard. they are heavier but nothing else will be usefull in 0-15knots.
one of the local ladies has a sup, her biggest sail is a 5.4m and she planes on the sup in almost no wind.
windsurfing perth has a tabou longboard.
Thought I better clarify things. Im not deliberately going out in 5kts. Lately its been gusty 8 - 15kts but dying to 5kts by the end of the sail so i need something that is forgiving enough to be sailed underpowered ( 5.7m) , stable to uphaul & sail back on when the wind dies and its sloppy but fun in 10 -15kts ( even stretched to 20kts..).By fun I mean easy to gybe & hop & decent speed when the wind hits 15kts.
if only I lived near the lake so i could have a look...! Wheres that 130 ltre board when you need it..
i've found the best way to upgrade gear is budget $1500 a year.
that gets either a board or 2 sails.
just rotate the purchases,
1st year, 2 sails
2nd year, board
3rd year, 2 sails
4th year, board
that way all gear is between new and 4 years old.
fins are xmas/birthday presents.
masts and booms last ages if the right ones are bought so over the time they don't cost too much.
bloody hell it's hot here right now. calm before the storm.
