I can understand smaller foils could be easier. But I do not recognize that my 2100 foil is jumping out of the water. Even in 22 knots, its comfortable. It is slower. My 1550 speed oriented foil, is faster, turns easier, gybing is easier and I have the feeling that the same wing has a higher top end in wind.
When the foil is jumping out of the water, I think foil should be in other position in the us vin boxes. Greetings!
You are correct! Correct placement is Key for good front and back foot pressure. However, once the wind pick up the tuning might just not work for the larger wing you want to ride. Especially if the swell is pumping! Cheers from Hood River, Oregon!
This is exactly right. Beginners do better fully powered for getting up and stability and big wings lift too much.
Good advise, I’m 180 ponds and a shop sold me a 2140 when I was starting out, way to big, couldn’t keep it down, thought I was doing something wrong, replaced with a 1650, so much easier to handle
You couldn’t keep it down, as in it bucked up, or porpoised out?
Did moving the mast back not help?
I’m really curious to try a large low aspect foil for light wind. Thanks!
@@briansmith207 Yeah porpoising, moving the mast back did help but with the Naish 2140 front wing the default seemed to be to always track higher & higher until it eventually breached.
Thank you for your Video . I am very small and light weight person 152 cm height my weight 40 kg . What size of the front wing will be optimal for me .

For a frist front wing we would recommend the 1280 or 1080 for your size and weight! Maybe the 1480 if you live in a light wind riding area. 15kts less. If not go with the 1280 or 1080. Hope that helps get you out there! Ciao'
Nice vid.
You need to include profile (or mean foil thickness) as a parameter that is just as important as area or aspect ratio. Companies like Axis and Gong will also refer to volume as an indirect measure of average foil thickness, given the same cross sectional area. I’ve ridden “fat” 1500 sq cm foils that are very slow and draggy and “thin” 1900 sq cm foils that have amazing levels of glide. The foiling world still seems to ignore it for the most part………
Thanks for the feedback and noted! Cheers from Hood River, OR!
