Hi guys, i need some advice for a new front Wing. I am using th? Slingshot E990 for light wind Wing foiling at the local lake. The wing needs a lot of foot pressure to carve in jibes. The guys from slingshot recommended the G900 as an alternative Wing. Is the G900 easier to carve/jibe or should i consider a E866 or G 800? Has anyone of you tried these front wings? 76 kg, 90 ltr Board, wind 10-15 kts at the lake, Level: learning to jibe
Juergen, I'm currently riding the G800 on a 70L board I'm 78kg. Prior to this I was riding the PTM926( very similar to the G900) with a 90L board. The E 990 is a big wing for your weight. 1800 cm 2 VS the G900 at 1263 cm 2. I moved from the PTM926/G900 to the G800 because I felt it had too much lift through turns and I wanted to turn tighter. I think the G900 would be better than the E990 as you're not heavy or a complete beginner. I love my G800 but I miss a bit of the glide from the PTM926/G900. I'm thinking about the PTM 930 it's high aspect and only 950 cm 2 so needs more speed to lift. I'm interested in the glide ( as all wingers are) but I still want to turn tightly. It's tough to find that blend. Hope that helps
