Been riding the 900 with the short fuse and 400 stab for a few months now. Prone board (4'7 and a 4'3), I'm 6'2" 170lbs. Really liking it but want to make it looser and better at turning. For those that have played around with the new stuff, what will give me the most bang for my buck?

ultra short fuse - $330
370 rear wing - $185
340 rear wing - $181

I live in Hawaii, so the waves usually have plenty of juice.

haha I'm getting a lil tired of throwing money into the sport. I realize the best option is the ultra short and a smaller stab, but I kind of only want to get 1 of the above for now. Which would you choose?

The ultra short fuselage is like going from a town car to an formula one car. A shrinking your rear wing will loosen stuff up as well.
Go the fuselage first.

Thanks, I figured that would be the answer, just wanted to hear it from someone who has made the change and could give me an idea of how much of a difference it would make.

Make yourself a 370mm wing, really not that hard

Well that looks like it came out mint!

Go the 340. It's a game changer. If that's not loos enough add the ultra short.

Disclaimer I cannot pump to save my life. However I do not see that as surf foiling. He just pumped around and went straight on the swell. Which is what HA foils do really well. So it was a pump video.

I agree, in this video I pump more than I surf the wave, but the wave was super tricky to surf, super shallow and lots of moving water, so the best option was to catch a small wave inside and pump back out to bigger non breaking wave and do a carving turn outside. The feeling of carving onto an up coming wave is really nice, trying to not pump at all on this part on be as sharp as possible (work in progress). Just another way to ride, on the wave and between.

This is the good thing with video, you can see what is wrong and I do reaslize I need to surf more the face of the wave and this is the hard part.

Has anyone cut the tips off the 900 wing?

I don't mind cutting a back wing as it is not too expensive but a front wing is too expensive to try.

900 is a great wing but is never going to let lean right over
Since I've gone ultra short and chopped 500 for everything I've retried all my old wings. Addicted to the 68 for prone, 900 Sup, 92 for wingding

I'm about 78 kg and the 750 sits in no mans land for me, too small for good pumping and 68 turns way better

Hey hank cut it down let me know ??

Cut just before it turns up
Turns better, and recovers from tail breach
I did cut a smaller one but didn't like it. Although that was a while ago and I have been trying to pump like keahi with feet closer and slower so I should try it again

Moses gear works for me.

The 1000 is my go to for winging and SUP foiling.
I do use the 1020 occasionally when the wind is very light or the 900 if it's really windy, or for bigger surf on the SUP.

Thanks - sounds like 1000/1020 would be a good combo

Or a 900/101.

The 102 is fairly slow and draggy but will get you going earlier.
I tried the 101 once it will definitely get foiling easier than the 1000 but is still fairly fast and slippery compared to the 102.
I have not been able to get my hands on one though.
It's always a tough choice and a compromise if you want to SUP in waves and wing, but for me at 85kg if I could only have one it would probably be the 1000.
I'm sure others would have different ideas though.
