I have the 926 wing which I like a lot. Which is my light to med winds wing (<=20kts)...what would be a good med to high wind wing ? >20kts. Some have Recommended the 930 wing.or the G800 or 700. Seems that the g809 would be the best wing to compliment the 926 . Paired with my wizard 114L

I just got the G800. Also have the PFI730. @140lbs, probably could have gone with the G700, but winds over 20 knots are not sustained very long. Over 25 knots, I have to de power a 3.7 sail. I'm not aiming for speed though. I would prefer to use a smaller sail. 21.8 knots is fast enough for now.

G800 is my high wind wing. Loose, Super stable, reasonably fast, and can still slow down to surf the swell. This is my daily driver.

Ptm 930 replaced ptm 926 as my light wind wing. The 930 can take lots of power, but is a bit pitch sensitive for challenging conditions. Used in 5.2 and lighter.

I do prefer the G800 for the stronger winds windfoiling and some riders prefer the ptm930

I am selling my PTM930 (almost new, I bought it more for winging but like the G900 more) if you're in the states and want a killer deal?

In higher wind I like lower aspect foils with thinner sections. Haven't held any of the G series but that seems to be where they fit.
