I agree with those saying "Tried it but didnt like it".

You are actually moving in a windrange where many would use a 3 or 4 wing quiver, as in 10 knots most can not ride even with a huge wing, and in 25 knots many use 2.5 or 3 m2.

But it is juuuust possible with 2 wings and good/excellent gear/technique.

Nice thing is you can just get the missing size(s) later :thumb:

m2c..
I'm currently on a 3 Wing quiver.. 10-25 kts at 70kg (with 3 front foils, where one has to go..) 2 wings will not do the trick for me..
7m, 5m &4m.
But after some nice sessions on Fuerte I think a 3m has to come into that quiver.. (from this brand..) :)
You'll need different frontwings as well, going to smaller and faster front foils is such a nice feeling..

don't forget that different brand has different sizes, power, feeling etc. a 5m from brand A can be a 4.5 from brand B...
Best start with 5 from brand X and see what you need further.
