    I believe you have said that is a 4m dLab wing. What was the wind speed that day? Sounded like it got stronger as the session progressed. Asking because I’m finding my wing size selection is dropping as experience grows with my Dragonfly. Used my 4.5 m wing for the first time in about a year yesterday and felt overpowered. No pump starts every time.

    • @foilthegreats
      @foilthegreats Місяць тому

      It’s a 3.5m. Wind was spotty around 10-20 kts and increased through the session. 1 of the reasons I like riding this board so much is it allows me to ride a smaller foil & wing.

      I’m 85kg and definitely feel a bigger board would be easier but not really willing to buy another. Using a huge foil like the 1880 helps get the board out of the water fast and the short mast and fuse helps too.

My biggest foil is like 1300. Spitfire 1180 is 1550cm2, but high aspect, so it should be pretty efficient. We'll see, cause I normally wouldn't use a foil that big for winging. I don't even use the HPS980 (1300) I mentioned very much. I'm normally on a 1000, or 1100 at the biggest. So this new one better work for DW otherwise it won't get used. lol.
