Hi, someone used this foils?
Moses onda 633
SLINGSHOT PHANTASM 633
With 90/92cm mast
What is the top speed? (aprox)
What it's the normal speed confortable?
With a 12m kite (airush ultra) what is (aprox) the minimum wind for star riding? (5 knots / 7 knots?
Are good foils for carving and up wind?
Big thanks

25 MPH is as fast as you want it go comfortably and with thick wing profile you’d be using quite a lot of kite power to go that fast.
Low end depends on your weight, board size, waves/currents, line length. A 180 lbs rider should be able to ride calm water in steady 8 knots on long lines and large board
