The answer should probably be somewhere in the 265 pages of this post but:

- how many knots would I gain in lowend with a 6m versus 5m?
- how much fun fctor would you loose?

you get less wear when having more sizes.

never thought of that

having had the virus (or being vaccinated) doesn't mean you are imune for the rest of your life.
But I hope you are right, I am coming for Xmas and at the end of januari

Any recommendation? Looking for a spot with very good wind stats in the 15-30 knots range Waves for winging (1-2m bumps is OK). No flat water! I consider Cape Town but it is going to be quite radical... Santa Veronica looks great but how big are the waves? I read about logs and wood drifting? Proble...

I ride the 633 with (old) 425 stab and tried the Ph1280 for kiting and winging. I was hoping to only use 1 foil with 2 front wing for both kiting and winging. Didn't like it for kiting: balance is very different and I ride a 94cm Kanaha no rails, just inserts. Too much backfoot for this setup. It is...

Unfortunately I don't understand French, is there an English transcript? Basically he says how a foil works but for what we discuss here he says: - he is >100kg - surface is only one of the parameter - thicker profiles induce more lift, profile also has an influence but he won't go into this detail...

That is a very good explanation thanks !

You could add the fact that you get easier on the foil on a smaller board. And heavier riders use bigger boards. I am +110kg and use the 1100 with 108L board. Tried a 75L board lately and it was WAY easier to get on the foil. I felt I could use a much smaller wing that day (25knots 5m windwing) I wi...

according to SAB data sheet, the 945 is thinner then the 950

basically they are the 950/1100/1250 from Moses with S450 stab
950 was initially announced @1600cm
