Hi

I am new to foiling, i tried it two days in june of 2019 with JP and NP foils from a demo course i made but i didnt get the bug....i felt it dangerous for the feet and ankles when you fall off straped in.

But....i am thinking to give another go this 2020 year....

I have a Starboard Isonic 147L foil ready board and now i need to buy a foil (no carbon ; no racing) and i cant make up my mind between two of starboard aluminium foils, they have the same price but i see that the difference is the wings sizes.

I dont want do foil above 15knots because i prefer to slalom and i dont want to go fast with the foil, i just want a easy, very forgiving and stable foil for a 50 year old clumsy bastard that is a medium slalom sailor with 11 years of windsurfing ( i know i started late )

I am 80KG and have Severne OD from 5.1 to 8.5

STARBOARD FOIL FREERIDE ALU
MastAluminium 75 cm
Fuselage Aluminium 75 cm
Front wing 1100cm2
Back wing 500m?

STARBOARD FOIL GT MAT ALU
Mast Aluminium 75 cm
Fuselage Aluminium 75 cm
Front wing 800cm2
Back wing 330m?

Anyone one can give me some tips to help me make a decision?

Thanks
A great windy 2020 for everyone!!
