Yes,
The UG152 is my largest board and I am hoping that the SSGlide will give me just a little more lattitude. At 210-215lbs us bigger guys need all the help we can get. When everyone else is riding a 12m or 14m, I'm on a 17m or should be on something slightly larger.

Board size is going to make the biggest differnce when others are just barely ridding in light wind and I'm not even powered. You can''t effectivley fly those bigger kites in my opinion and a larger boards allows for better weight distribution and there for effortless plaining.

I find that the MC yellow board my friend Toby is riding and SS Glide have a little more advantage for me on light wind, smooth water days than my UG152 on lighter days.
