You could totally size down to a 6M. I have the 8m and 6M strike and that board. With the 8m you’re having to bleed off a lot of wind. With the 6M you’ll be able to bring from an overhead horizontal position to a more vertical position. In the vertical position you’ll be able generate apparent wind and go upwind better. Give it a try.

That would be amazing. I'm still struggling to get upwind nicely. But a 5m wing felt too small (at my beginner stage). Thanks for the tip.
Can you turn yet?
Sadly, no.That'll be my objective this summer.
I practiced on land, concrete and sand with skateboard and mountain boards.
Add your videos later of your success
Here’s a video of me with my 6M in less than 10mph wind. I’m 230lbs
