I go through phases of liking one vs the other. They are both great wings. The Strike is very light weight, flags out really well but has a larger wingspan compared to the Wasp so easier to catch the wing tips. I like the extra handles on the Wasp (in particular the back handle) as I can adjust the power in the wing. That being said I tend to use the end handle most of the time anyway. The Wasp has a waist leash which is excellent for paddling out through waves, whereas the Strike has a very short wrist leash (but of course you can change it out). The Strike has a one pump system which makes getting on the water faster. Also if you like windows the Wasp has them whereas the Strike doesn't. My recommendation is to try them both and see which you like!
@@azurewatersports320 thanks for the feedback! I have the waspv2 on 6m and 4m, but never tryed the strike. Planning to buy a 5m and was thinking about the strike for wave foiling. On wasp I use a lot the midle handle (first back handle) when i jibe out of wave and use only one hand for some seconds until i can leave my other hand from the flag handle and grab the front handle. This is very usefull and I am afraid i will miss it on strike. I need find one for test. 🤙
@@danuco_foil yes Testing is the best option. We have a 5m on test if you are near to Aberdeen Scotland! Also the V2 has just been released and it has a smaller wing span amongst other improvements. See here on my website for a bit more info www.azurewatersports.co.uk/blogs/news. Cheers
Nice.

Wind strenght?
It was around 15 knots. I was using a 1300 PNG axis front wing. The wind picked up later on and I changed to the 980 HPS wing.
