21.5 is great.  I also have a 21.  Don't notice the 1/2" difference at all.  22 wouldn't bother me either.

That review was not from me.  I found it on facebook somewhere but figured I would add it.

Though I do have a custom board that is similar to your carver.  6'2 x 21.5" except at 100L.  Loving it so far.

Saw this review about the carver so I figured I would add it to the discussion.

I recently tried out the Sunova Carver 6.2 Custom 79Ltr board, pairing it with an Axis ART Pro 1051 foil and a 4m wing for some short downwind runs. Normally, lifting my board with a 4m wing and the 1051, particularly in open ocean swells around 20-23 knots, has been a struggle. However, the Carver has been a game-changer. It’s still a bit of a sinker for me, but I can stand on crunch down to get it flying. When it’s on the surface, it skips over the water to gain the speed necessary to engage the foil. The speed it generates is unbelievable.
Recently, I took it into some waves, using the Axis Spitfire 780 and 720 with a 4m wing in winds between 22-25 knots. Surprisingly, the Carver allowed me to generate enough speed through the chop to get the foils flying. I was blown away by how easily I could downsize my foils by 1-2 sizes thanks to the Carver’s narrow size and length, which enable it to plane incredibly fast.

Impressed by the performance, I couldn’t resist going back to the foil shop today and acquiring a 5.2 with stock measurements as well. As a heavier rider at 6.5ft and 107kg, I’ve designated the 6.2 Carver as my go-to for light wind conditions. If the wind picks up beyond 20 knots, I’ll switch to the 5.2 for an optimal experience. Totally stoked

Unifoil has a board coming out called the quiver killer.

They mention two models, 5’2" x 19" x 3.6" @ 45L and 5’6" @ 55L

Need to do a video building the whole board.  I think there are a few people that would enjoy it and want to take  a crack at building something that keep thinking about but is not being produced.

Good to hear you are doing good.

You are seeing the difference on a board that is 6'1'.  I am planning on using mine on my new 7'7".  these new longer boards are real slippery through the water.   They get speed real quick. I can almost get up with a 5 in 8-9 mph.  Only tried once so far and almost got it so with a little technique adjustment and refinement I should be able to.

The downwind boards for winging could really change when you could use a 3m wing. I had read about someone using a 3m with their downwind board and a big foil to get going early.

Nice to know.  OK so how is handling bigger  choppy conditions.  I just got the armie 7'7. Have not taken it out in the surf yet cuz of work at the moment, but had a few minutes to take it paddling in some river chop and surprised how stable it was. Ocean will be a different story but its a start.
