Looking to take the plunge and buy a wing for both foiling and some beach land boarding. Like the look and write ups for the Wasp and the Slingwing - any helpful feedback would be appreciated.

The leaders in the field are Ozone and FONE mate. Enjoy. Im not foiling with one but I find it fun with a land board.

Pretty much the same conclusion I'm getting to.
I also read that the Fone don't keep their stiffness very long.

I would keen an eye on the Konrad wingman. Designed in Australia. I haven't got my hands on one yet but looks like it would be up with one of the best

Are you sure they are designed in Australia?It seems that brands like Smik, Konrad and many more are all jumping on the bandwagon with no prior experience of designing anything with a canopy. Looks more like there is a factory somewhere in China who have contacted all SUP or foilboard brands and told them they had a generic design they could pump out of their production line with whatever logo you want....

Will be interesting to see the 2021 designs from the trusted kite brands and see the changes applied as they have probably learnt a lot over the past year.

Thanks for the feedback folks. Looks like the Ozone Wasp is a pretty safe bet! Always had a good run with my other Ozone kites.

If you are heavy: WASP or Duotone, they don't flex when pumping.

The Zeeko Ypsilon wing has a Y strut to address the stiffness issue.
