CAN17 said..Now that you've got a bit of a feel and stoke for the infinity 65. Is it your new favorite wing over your old favorite time code 68? Have you got a chance yet to test which wing you like better on the wizard 105 in 15-20kts or 18-25kts with some wind swell

All of us here are stoked with the Infinity 65 on the Wizard 105.
I use it in all conditions over about 15 knots.
Under 15 I use the 76.

The Time Code 68 still has a place - if you want a smaller less lifty wing than the 76 to downwind in stronger winds and bigger swells but perhaps aren't confident to deal with the acceleration/speed of the Infinity 65

I have an older H2 front wing setup and from all the positive feedback am looking to buy the infinity 65.
Any advice on how critical the updated rear wing is?
Cheers,

No need to change the rear wing. The infinity 65 is a great wing, but first you need the one wing to rule them all the i76

Hi! Can you talk about the difference between the warp speed 65 and the infinity 65?
I have the h2 and the warp speed... Really love the feeling with the warp speed... Lot of speed and reactivity. But it lifts a lot when the speed increase

The key difference between the warp speed and the i65 are in my experience are as follows

The i65...
* has a lower top speed, maybe 10-20% slower
* gets foiling earlier
* foils through lulls better

regarding the lifting at speed, it has been a while since I used the warpspeed, but I dont recall it lifting excessively, but sounds like you have a lot more sessions on the warpspeed than me. My guess is that the i65 would lift more at speed than the warpspeed.

Seems like you like the warpspeed a lot, maybe it makes more sense to pickup the i76 which would be a good compliment to your warpspeed

I can't comment on the Warp Speed but you shouldn't get excessive lift with the Infinity 65 if you throw your weight over your front foot when accelerating.
I find it helpful to anchor my foot in the rear strap to avoid being pitched forward - even downwind on swells

Thank you guys!
I sail with the wing in forward position. I will try to put it in the "b" position to keep it down a little bit. I will try to put some shims under the front screw of the stab. It seems that it calms down the wing.

Yeah, I used the warp speed on B position. What board are you using?

I have a starboard hypersonic 105... I cut the nose at 180cm and shaped a big belly to add scoop to the nose. I move the 4 straps forward and closer to the center of the board. With the h2 i sail comfortably in the straps but with the warp speed i cannot put the rear straps. It is still tons of fun but i think i could go faster with less forward lift.

Cool. I think that irrespective of foil design, the faster any given wing is going the more the lift moves forward, but this would be offset by the small surface area of the wing

I run my infinity 65 1 inch forward than my infinity 76, which does not support the above theory though.

I havent tried the warpspeed for a while but from when I was using it. I was using a tuttle foil box, not a track, and I would run the 76 and the warpspeed both on B and the warpspeed seemed to be OK with that setup, but from what I recall, the H2 would run best on C position.

Thank you for your answer! I will test this... As soon as the quarantine finishes... :(

Where you at?

We are still currently allowed to participate in outdoor recreation, as long as we keep a distance of 6 ft

France !

Stay safe

Thanks!
Trying to stay busy during quarantine, i drew a windfoil board project : 175x65x92 litres. 3 inboard footstraps. Inspired by the slingshot freestyle...
I'd like to know the mast track position from the tail of the slingshot freestyle. If someone can measure it, it would be very kind! In france there is very few people interested in this type of windfoiling (except horue guys)

I found the info in a different post : 78cm from the front screw of the dtt!
