Hi Dude,
The 800 is a very cool wing. It is basically a bigger race wing. It's fast and had great angles upwind and downwind. For Lowend I would set it between the 718 and 679.
The Turning is comparable to most race wings on the market. The ventilation resistance of wingtip breaches is great. You can pretty much ride with the wingtips out of the water, so hard carves are fun.
It works with the new Windfoil Race Fuselage and the 647.

Could W800 wing can be used by "Bigboys" like race wing?
Somebody already suggest this?

...
If I had to guess before actually trying the wing - absolutely. Which once again would make thick 718 wing redundant.

Yes. Definitely will work for that. I recommend using it with the 101 or even better the 106 mast if you want to go fast with it.

Initial outing an enjoyable success.
Low end not quite as slow as 633.
