A beginner needs help with surf foiling

Hi everyone, I’m new here. I’m 50 years old, weigh 78 kg, and have been surfing since 1989. My everyday surfboard is 5’10” with 30 liters of volume. I’m starting with surf foiling and taking wake foil lessons in the ocean using a 105-liter board, an 85 cm mast, a 78 cm fuselage, a 950 cm² front wing, and a 350 cm² rear stabilizer.

I can already take off most of the time and stay flying for over a minute. My goal is to focus on surf foiling, so I’d like to know what kind of board and foil setup I should be using for that.

Please answer in SPCM.
Thank you very much!

Probably a 50-60L 6’0-6’4 midlength board like the kruzer or similar. 80 mast and 810x code setup with 142 tail would probably suit you. If you want the additional ability to pump you can transition to a 980S foil as a future goal.
