How small of a windsurfing board?

Nice essay on sizing of smaller higher wind/wave boards. Also helpful for long time windsurfers as it compares traditional boards (the kind that the LLSC Beach Changing Hut has) with modern boards.

"I really enjoy reading about and listening to veteran windsurfers who have been sailing for many decades. It is inspiring, fascinating, and very educational. They make me want to be a better rider, and they move me to be a more passionate waterman. Often, I read or hear about the ultra small boards (60 liters and under) they used 'back in the day'. It amazes me that they were able to ride such small boards. But, many of these veteran windsurfers don't use such ultra small boards anymore. So, let me pose the question, 'how small is small enough?'" Read more at the link above.
