This is all great feedback. Let me expand the discussion just a bit. As I mentioned I am a heavier rider 205 pounds. I have been foiling for about two years and would call myself a solid intermediate rider. I currently own and ride the Lift NF2 with a Hypermiler board. Love the set up and find that the Lift is a great free-ride all around foil. Does everything great. However, I want to add a race foil to my quiver to go faster than my current top end (at about 20 knots my foil is maxed).
So I recently had a session on the Moses Vorace foil with a 600mm wing and whatever size stabilizer goes with it. It was significantly faster than the Lift and a little stiffer to turn. Just what I would expect. Then I had a session with the new Ghost Whisperer 111 cm which is their full on race set up. I found the Ghost Whisperer to be even faster and stiffer as I would expect. Used my board with both so kept that constant. My issue is this. Both foils clearly want to go fast (at 20 knots I was just cruising. Never found the top end on the GW.) However, I don’t like how the both foils drop me off plane when I slow down. I am sure much of this is operator error but I also think I should be able to find a foil that is fast while still allowing me to slow down without dropping me out (I.e. more forgiving). No manufacturer talks a lot about the role rider weight has in overall performance; but I have to believe that I should have a different set up than a 165 pound rider. So this is why I have interest in the Enata. I think it may work better as a high performance foil for a heavy rider.sounds like the Delta and Mikeslab would also be a good choice. Would welcome thoughts on this!
