Haven't ridden it but the prone foil guys are just frothing over it plus it has solid ends with markings on it so you can cut it down in width even more. It's happening in all brands with smaller super high aspect rear wings , it changes everything including higher speed and tighter turning . They can be a bit twitchy at first but you soon get used it . Just buy it you won't look back .

Prone guys here love it. I had one and liked it for wingding but not sup foil. I am 105 kg and it felt too vague. Swapped back to the 300 felt better for
me. But as I am frequently told I am a special case

To add to that I am a heavy back foot surfer who loves the neutral feel of the standard setup.

For me it made it a more front foot heavy setup. But I am in the minority most love it. I am more interested in a new front wing for wingding. I hope they bring out a HS1950

Thank Piros,
Catch you next time I'm on the Goldie , you guys have it made up there, warm clear water, no rocks or reef to hit, and perfect foiling-waves all day every day.Got stacks of great rides at the Alley, but rainbow was a little busy, but Kirra not too bad as well.
Cheers Kobo
