Did you know that the supercruiser fuse fits slingshot wings with just a little packing on the sides.
Even the screw holes line up.
So I took my 99 infinity out with the Starboard mast and fuse , and it was really really good.

Super stable, really early take off, and a nice relaxing cruise at about 14 knots, So in debris strewn flood waters I was not so worried about a big crash.

Its much less rigid and predictable on the slingshot mast.

I'm 125 kg and I enjoy a relaxing ride. I'd also say this could be an ideal set up to learn on, especially for the heavier rider.

Comparing wings for maximum lift.
Left to right
(SingShot 99 infinity SlingShot 84 infinity Starboard supercruiser) these can all fit supercuiser fuse , super cruiser fuse fits starboard masts

( Starboard 1100 freeride Starboard 1000 millennium race ) these fit the older starboard race fuse

(note, starboard has a new fitting fuse for front wings now)


Also the infinity 84 looks only slightly larger than the supercruiser wing, but it is much thicker in chord. much slower and moderately earliler take off due to being much thicker.

Did you use the foil exactly as shown on that picture?

My only concern is if you were to hit something with the wing or wing tip, just make sure the mast to fuse. connection is really tight and can not twist.

Maybe this is the solution for "foil fishing" we've all been looking for

You've obviously never seen a Starboard foil
