Thanks, I'm trying to catch up on the wing business iterations. What are the improvements they have been listening to? And what where the compatibility problems on 2022 Sky Wings? Angle of tail rocker and mounting producing wrong mounting angle for other brand's foils?
Thanks!

Yes. The lack of Rocker made it necessary to use Plate Shims on a lot of foils. I have been printing a lot of 2 deg Plate Shims for Sabfoil users who bought 2022 SkyWing Boards.

So it's not as easy as buying a board and a foil, you need to know if they match.

The 2022 Skywing boards all fly nose down with Sabfoils. The the shims I make add 2° Nose up.

So I guess the guys using fanatic foil will have to shim negative them with the new boards :-)

Been riding the 4’9 65L for a few weeks and it goes awesome. I’m 92kg & gets going super quick.
