Is anyone here using the One Lock gear? If so, what foils and stabs are you using, what ability level are you? What type of riding do you do, and how big are you? And most importantly, how do you like the One Lock gear?

thanks.

I've been winging on the one lock since it was released. Mostly using the glide 1325 and flow1000 front wings with the turbo tail on an 82cm hm mast. 90kg and I mostly wing in marginal conditions

Very nice foil. Smooth, stiff, responsive. Mechanism is a bit fiddley but still way easier to deal with then screws and tefgel. Fit is tighter now than it was when new. Highly recommended

Nice. I would start with the 1525 Glide for starters. Hopefully it would get me out in most of my usual conditions. Would add a smaller size at some point. I use an Axis HPS1050 and BSC1120 and 1060 currently. I'm just giving winging a try after windfoiling for a few years. Took most of the last year and a half ooff due to a rotator cuff tear and subsequent surgery.

I weigh around 190lbs and the 1525 is definitely a light wind weapon for light wind winging.

The flare 175 tail also makes it easier to pump up onto the foil, it will shorten the "fuse" part of the one lock and I have no problem carving it for such a big foil. The 1325/175 I would consider my daily driver here in Florida, our winds generally around 10-16mph.

Not using any bolts on the foil is very nice system, we get so much salt corrasion here.

Being that I am on the bigger side at 6'4" and 230, is the 1525 going to be user friendly for me to learn jibes? I have experience in winging, and I am comfortable getting on foil and flying both directions, but I still consider myself to be a beginner.

The aspect ratio is around 8.9 so I feel it's very playful and really good stall speed. so if you're working on gybes it is forgiving.
