Anyone want to hazard a guess on which would be the better light wind combo?

I haven't got the 99 but have all the other components.

PS: I am not a fan of the 84 on the 115, but have only tried it once.

Hi thedoor,

my guess is, depending on body weight, that the 125l Board is the better choice for light-wind. We are around 20 guys in our club who are foiling and all the experienced foilers with good technique are able to get up and flying on smaller wings/sails. One guy is using a freestyle-board to foil and is definitely missing the board-width to load the foil for up-wind sailing. With my 95kg dry-weight I would go with the 125l Wizzard and infinity 76

Best regards,

david

Hi David

I am referring to the slingshot freestyle foilboard, it is certainly less wide in the tail than the wizard. I guess I am wondering about if board width or wing size is the more crucial factor for early foiling.

Also is there a point where more wing is no better than skillful pumping?

Cheers

I'd take the bigger board combo personally. I took my 84cm Infinity down from an 8'2" Starboard Go board at 122L to a Wizard 125L and find that it's slower getting going due to the board shape. That said, once up on foil it's looser to steer, pump and carve.

Interesting question! I never foil, I asked the same question and also Add in the equation the Naish SUP/Wind/ Foil...crossover hover.A lot told me I would be better with 105 and not the 125 Wizard at my weight (75kg). Would struggle a bit more at the beg, but long run I would get going into 10-15 kts with a 5.3, if I can pump the foil....
From those who answered, the freestyle(slingshot) wasn't the board to have in very light wind... But I have 0 experience

Hi Nord

Are you doing people told you that you could learn on the 105?

I think I was confused by your post.
