Have been on El Medano since Sunday, and have had 4 days on the water. The first days it was survival mode, for me, with 2.0 and 3.0. But the two last days I've had 3 good sessions on 4.3 hybrid, and a short one on 5.4.
Have so far only used the 800 Orca. Don't think I will touch the 1050, unless it is really light.
My pumping skills, and getting up on foil, is really at a beginner level. But the 800 have good low end. Yesterday it was 18-24 knots, and I didn't really have to work to get on foil.
And on foil the 800 is really forgiving and smooth. Goes upwind much faster than the 1050.
It is actually fun to sail upwind on it.
Gybes and foot switches usually goes well. I think for wingfoilers this comes quite easy. The downwind bit is now the real challenge.
