I’d like to hear as well. A windsurf foiler friend has it and really likes it. He did say though, that the wingtips are “ridiculously fragile.”

I have the 400 and now for 6 plus sessions used it with 790 front wing.
I also have 1100 and 1000 front wings plus 483 and 420 stabilisers.
I am loving the 790 x 400 combination and not doing jybes significantly better, the combo is smoother than 1100 and obviously tighter turns.
The 420 seems to a good match for the 1100 and I am undecided for the 1000 combo.
At this point the 790 x 400 is working best so no hurry to go back to the other combos for a while.

I think 950 will be really exciting wing for winging and replacement for 790/1100

I think you are correct.
I still can not find anything definite on the area.
Anyone know the area and/or aspect ratio of the new 950 ?

I hope you are correct as locally I was told 1800 which maybe too close to the 1100.
I'd like 1600 cm2 for the 950 but could settle for 1450 which to me is almost a HA wing
