I have the same foil, I don't think the carver wing will reduce the overall speed to allow you to learn manoeuvres any easier. The market literally changed a year after the white and green came out and now wing sizes in the surf 1000-1200 seem to be the new standard to increase progression time.
The Zeeko is a great freeride foil but needs possibly 20-30 hours depending on the person. There's a great youtube series by the guy who was learning with it. I'd say stick with it if your are getting good learning conditions.
Im not getting regular wind conditions I need for mine and I'm probably changing to the Neil Pryde surf foil.
Agree, the Carver wing is a great allround wing for the average weight, if you wanted ONE wing only, for everything, jumping, carving, waves, speed, fun.
But for learning you need a tad more speed on this one, still quite easy but you might learn even faster if a bigger wing. Not that important though, IMO, you will learn with both.
Maneuvers though, are easier on a bigger wing.
And for waves most will use bigger wings.
Carver is 710 cm2 which for todays standards is quite small, eventhough maybe a "medium" size - but less than 2 years ago it was quite big, now it is quite small, how things change
