Every review should have three negatives, they are there but never revealed

The website sucks (big time)I,m too close to 100kg 997 and growing in the winter) and have the Enduro 700-900-1100-1300-1600 (and a 850+1050 Silk and a PureHA1100.).For wingfoil I really like all of them except the 1600, its too big span for that, for DW supfoil on the big dutch lakes and supfoil on the dutch coast I use mainly the 1600-1300. in atlantic coast 1100.
I have tried the Duotone foils and I would say the stiffness is similar with a bit better low end on the DT.If there is imo one thing that is a light con on the AFS , then it is the low end. Some brands like Armstrong you pick a size smaller, with AFS you pick in doubt the bigger size. Funnely the also turns way better and feel dragless. Its hard to discribe a different way but slippery through the water is as close as I come. When I tru other stuff I notice that some foils have better inititial lift but somehow the smaller sizes don,t translate in more maneuvrability or better speeds.


Which AFS do you think is most like Duotone Glide 2 750 and 900 (which I have) and 1100 (which I don't), and Carve 3.0 800? And why did you change to AFS, interested your overall view of Duotone and AFS.

I had Turbo 7.5m, a great sail. Sailing with pro and sail tester for mags in strong winds he told me to add 2-3cm more downhaul on top of what I thought was already loads, so it looked like yours. Sailed beautifully.

It's worth checking if the mobile network reaches out to sea as aerials point to land. I checked where I sailed a lot on holiday and several people were lost each year, and mobile coverage had gone where I would need to use it. Carried a VHF instead.

Main one for me was figuring out that you stay upright over the foil, side to side and fore and aft. Don't lean back into the wing like you do with a sail. You and the foil are one and the wing rotates around you. Leaning back leads to instant ejection ??.
