New to skimming

Howdy Mates,
I'm an east coast canadian. Not many people out here kitesurf, let alone strapless kitesurf.
I've got some practice riding strapless, mostly on a 6'0 thruster. I've got a skim board in the mail, and am totally stoked.
I'm about 80kg, 6'4". My skim is 58x22" (or 147x56cm). I mostly want to use it for light winds and in small waves.
One question: How is the size? Did I go too big? (is there such thing for light winds??)
What size skims are most people kiting with?
Cheers,
DC
