Yeah, long awaited review! Thank you! You guys are brilliant.. providing accurate review while convincing me to buy another wing, 1m smaller. I went with the north pro. Beautifully constructed wing. You highlighted how easy it is to flip over. So much easier and quick, compared to my cwc strike 8. What a relief! And it feels solid, not bending. IMO, and I haven’t ridden the ventis, but compared to strike, the loft pro gets unruly when the wind or gusts pick up like you hinted at. Solution, get another smaller wing from Mac kite! Loft doesn’t like to float as well in lulls either, but if constant light breeze, should be happy. In retro spect after seeing this review, still a toss up? Mode looks and feels like it’ll hold up well until next seasons latest and greatest.

I was waiting for this one - thanks! This wasn't about the Fone CWC, but wondering if you could say a few words about how that compares.

Duotone looks just like the strike cwc with handles to me.

Thanks guys for the review. Well done. Rayan, how tall are you? Just to compare my height to you and pick the right size 😅

I'm 5'10 and I prefer the 7m over the 8m in both those wings, due to it being easier to handle when getting up on foil.
