Im 95kg and running an 80cm UHM mast with the 1300. It's an amazing mast. Performancea and stiffness are as good or better than any of the other UHM masts I've been on.

Nice you're close to my weight, glad to hear it works for you.

I'm 98kg, foiling 6 years, been through the brands like most. I sup, wing, kite, tow and dw foil. I use longer skinnier production boards 7'2 x 20 x 107L, 8'1 x 21 x 128L, weighing between 5-7kg. The majority of my riding is sup foil and wing foil in surf + wing upwind, flag out dw.

How strong is the mast to fuselage connection when the gear gets worked in the shore break, also the wing tips of the front wing, tail can they handle the abuse of the shore break?

I know people say the foils ride 200cm bigger than they are, and read somewhere that the 1300 is comparable to the art pro 1201, so would the 1100 be like the art pro 1121 and the 900 like the art pro 1051?

Mast connection strong. Enduro wing tips thin. Silk tips are robust. Silk tails robust. All made out of UHM so stronger construction than most. At 90kg my biggest is a 900 but I only ride swell. For downwind paddle if I did it I would use 1300.

Any Comparisons to the Code R or S range with the 700-900 in regards to sizing, performance?

I went from Code to AFS.
I had the 720s/850s/980s/860r and have ridden the 615s. Great foils in small waves and light wind. I always found in the top end wave and speed wise I struggled.
AFS are better in turbulent water, strong wind and solid waves. Enduro 700/900 combo covers most of what I had with Code with a better top end. I will get a silk 650 for big days and a 1100 or 1300 Enduro for downwind. Tails are really good I only have a Silk 142 atm and that covers me for most things I may get a HA Silk as well at some point to help dw. Code are very good dw foils.


The AFS mast is better IMO with less ventilation. The best thing about AGS is built quality and ease of use, you get a nice balance very easily.

The Enduro 900 is faster and turns better than the 860r. The Enduro 700 is faster and turns better than the 720s.
Silk 650 is a bit better turning than the 615s but the 615 is faster which may not be the best thing in waves.
Overall the AFS gear is just a bit better at everything I want from a foil but that varies from person to person. Demo if you can.

What tails and fuses have u tried with code. Ive found that going from an unshimmed large ar tail, large fuse, to a small R tail and short fuse the difference is night and day. I'm absolutely in love with code especially the R tails and R wings but if I use a bad tail/fuse combo it feels so frustratingly draggy and bad that I am wanting to call it a piece of trash. I would love to try the Enduro but the fact that it doesn't have a unibody construction makes it seem that it won't be as stiff compared to unibody systems whether that be duotone, uni or code.

150/132/175 chopped and shimmed. The connection is stiffer than Code. I got a bit of movement in Code as the butt joint wore over time.

Hey Hilly,
Looking fun with the boogie, funny how it follows you like a puppy. Maybe call em the tow puppy.
When I get some spare coin I can get AFS and skip the Code journey.

The connection is Bomber. The wingtips are..
fragile as the wing is made with UHM carbon.

martyman The wingtips are fragile as the wing is made with UHM carbon.

I assumed that made them stronger.

Stiffer but more brittle

Stiffer but more brittle, yes. No free lunch.

650 Silk was epic today
