I guess if you weigh 220+ lbs you should ride the 250 wing

More lift at same or less speed. Earlier takeoff. Lower top end. Less stable at speeds.

Re: 5'4" E3 E-foil Setup Newbie
@grigorib...That is a large section of props...which is your favorite and where did you purchase them?
I recently purchased Lift's new LCS prop; I tried one and had to buy it (tried it and never took it off the board, that much difference). The quick disconnect was not a feature that I needed, what sold me was the performance improvement-the new prop has more pitch, giving you more power on take off-...but what really sold me on the prop was it allowed the board to turn MUCH better...I attribute this to the tapering of the cone that the prop is attached to...when considering only propulsion in a straight line, a cylindrical prop body makes some sense... but if you look at the side to side movement of the prop through tight turns, having a square trailing edge does not make sense...perhaps someone with hydrodynamic modeling skills can verify...
Anyhow, try the new LCS prop, or a similar prop with a tapered body, the improvement in turns is remarkable!
