I have yet to see anyone ride one of these better than a normal foil with a stabilizer, regardless of what you consider “best”. Fastest? Highest jump? Best wave ride? All on normal foils. Why would I ride a monofoil? More difficult with no obvious payoff. This whole post reads like “why not ride a ...

Cool! Makes me want to try that. I guess a first step before chopping a fuselage is to just not bolt the stab on? Since I have a tuttle box and a fixed position, what are the consequences? Would I be riding a few cms further forward on the deck? Or further backwards? You stand further back. Basical...

Horst, you are leading on this again. I got comfortable kiting with my Delta monofoil but have not tried it winging yet because I don't think I can get it forward enough on the tracks of my current board. What board are you getting? How do you find pumping a mono while winging?

I have used multiple wings including the Echo. While the boom is nice for hand placement and is easy to grab, I found several disadvantages. Most importantly, the wing handles poorly in waves or just riding downwind. Yes, you will find people who can make it work but that doesn’t change the facts. O...

Was passionate about kitefoiling in waves. Started winging about 6 months ago and since then, wingfoil sessions=105, kite sessions=3.

Current state of the art is self venting screws. No fiddling needed.

Recommend or not really depends on what performance characteristics you are looking for, especially compared to their non-HA wings.

If that is truly your first time ever on a foil, you are doing amazingly well. The vast majority of experienced foilers cannot get that far off a dock
