Naish Thrust Large surf foil for kiting?

I have the 70 and 90 centimetre masts and have used them both in formed swell. The 70cm is a little short as you come over the back of a wave and head down the face of the wave.

I'm using the Large Naish surf wing for kiting. I love it. But I will switch to the 70cm mast when I can get one. I'll use the 55cm just for SUP

I've kited the Slingshot SUP / Surf Foil with both the H2 & H4 wings before. It works great. I prefer the H2 wing though as it is faster, I have been towing into waves parking the kite at 12 and then foil surfing the wave. So addictive!!

I don't see why the Naish one wouldn't do it either.

@Bigtone667 - brilliant feedback , exactly what I was hoping to hear. Good tip re the stab as well. I think my Thrust Large is due in the next week or so, really looking forward to getting it out in some swell. Was out the back yesterday on my regular kitefoil on the 5m in 1-2m swell , a bit of a handful getting out but got there in the end. Crashed A LOT. A Lot. Other guys were out on 8m kites and surfboards . I think having a really stable platform will be key , with a small kite , significant swell and a foil there's a lot going on. But fizzing down a big moving lump at speed is fun !!

Thanks to everyone else who replied as well . Like a few others have said , I reckon there's something to kiting with these really big wings

I'm 80 kg and tried the Naish medium surf wing yesterday on a 10 mtr single strut kite in 10 knots of wind. I have also used the large Naish surf wing. I prefer the medium for kiting, it doesn't seem to loose anything from the large and I found it easier to use.
The large wing gives a huge amount of lift and when starting this can be an issue as the foil can rocket out of the water if you don't keep your weight really forward. The medium does this too but not to the extent of the large. I can see a beginner may have difficulty using these big wings to learn on during the very first stage without the skill to keep the weight over the nose at the start they will bunny hop constantly. They would be better off on the smaller KS wind for the first stage then hop on the medium surf as their skills increase.
Once going the medium as amazingly quick for such a big wing, managed 17 knots (31 kph) in the light wind but you can fly as low as 8 knots (14kph). The KS wing is only a knot or two faster which is a surprise.
Gybes are easy, even with the 70 cm mast I was using, breaching only caused a gurgling sound, no rapid drop. The foil is silent which is really nice and although has some weight this isn't felt in the water, I'm guessing there is some foam in the big wing where I think the slingshot wings are solid which makes them heavy.
Overall the medium wing is a great free ride wing for flat water and playing in the waves/chop. Maybe the heavier riders might benefit from the large wing or if it was to be used on a sup or surfboard as well.

I got to try the XL Naish Surf Thrust today in 8 to 10 knots using a 13.4 Cloud.

I attached the wing/fuselage/mast to my board using the abracadabra system. Works very well.

The XL thrust is the Jumbo Jet of wings. Fat, wide, Sllloooowwww but with massive lift. I think this wing will keep cruising with as little as five knots.

Top speed was 14 knots, lowest speed was 5. It goes upwind reasonably well and glides brilliantly.

I am really looking forward to attaching this to a surfboard and trying prone foil surfing.

This is one foil that will crossover between kite, sup and prone surfing.

If you're a big boy or girl, you'll like the big wings. Or even if you want to ride the board more and be towed around by the kite less.

I've had 3 good sessions on the Axis 820mm wide (1443cm2 projected) wing now, with Switchblade 10m each time. On the weather stations, 8 knots was the low end, 18 knots the top -- and I was over-powered on the 10m.

Thanks for the replies guys, yes I realise the function of the big sup wings for carving and riding waves but the xl wing is bigger again so just wondering how it would perform

Watched my mate get up and riding in one 2 hrs session. He used a 10M Reo V4 and Naish L surf wing on a home modded McCoy 6'6" surfboard. By the end of that session he was riding 200m plus and the next day he said he only fell off twice.
That foil is now sold and we are just waiting on some Axis 820mm wings and will be setting one of them up, locals are frothing on the Axis surf foils.
