    I would agree on the large plate, and SS is a benefit as you will need the ballast.

    I'd prefer to know the buoyancy of your 7mm, but if I have to estimate it, 20-22 lbs positive is probably pretty close.

    With a full al 80 your rig will be about - 11 lbs and with a full 72 maybe -13.

    That means your wetsuit buoyancy dictates the required wing size. I'd suggest a Torus 26.

    Recap:

    Large SS Plate
    Torus 26 Wing
    Hogarthian Harness
    (cambands and wedge blocks included)

    Let me know if you have other questions.
