That's interesting Hilly it's gone from $1099 to $1189 in couple of days , maybe the exchange rate.
Dont know if to wait a bit and see what's coming next , likely a HA series I'd guess.
Funny you say that about HA ,I was thinking of holding out for a HA to DW on ,but maybe the HS 1850 is a better bet because it will go slower and not stall as well as have better handling and a good top end. I'm going pretty good with pumping back out on the 1550 now I've worked out the technique so I don't really need it for the surf but I'm sure it would be fun to do laps on.
Ive only got a 4m wasp and I think a HS1850 would give me more bang for my buck than gettinga 5m wasp for lighter winds?
Great to see some more wing sizes to choose from, hopefully soon we should have:
HS1050
HS1250
HS1550
HS1850
HA ????
I'm guessing the bigger riders will go 1850/1250 & smaller 1550/1050 + a HA wing for sh1ts n giggles.
The 1550 is my (72kg) goto & would like a smaller wing for prone on bigger days & the occasional toil sesh.
Question - is 1550/1250 too close in size, will probably go 1550/1050 but interested in others opinion please.
Matt Nuzzo with Real Watersports was out for a session Yesterday on the 1850 and he was crushing it. He left the wing with me for the day, so I took the 1850 for a spin in some small waist high waves. I was prone paddling my 5'1" 74L wing board. My first wave was a 3 for 1 and I ended up back in the lineup! It went unreal and turned great. No learning curve, despite being on that giant board.
I've got mine on order. If anyone in the states is interested in my 1200 or 2400, hit me up!
Interesting to hear some reports,Got my first 4 for 1 on the 1550 this morning, but I'm still thinking it would be a hoot to have the 1850 , how different to the 1550 did it feel?
The 1850 felt like it pumped faster and projected more with each pump compared to the 1550. More glide too. I was able to safe a few touch downs and pump back on foil. I think it will be great on downwinders, winging, and small surf.
I'm selling my 2400 and 1200 to free up funds! I learned to wing on the 2400, so I don't really need it anymore, especially at my weight (65kgs) with the 1850 joint the quiver. I use my 1050 if the surf has some punch, so the 1200 doesn't get much use.
, I was comparing a standard 1200 to my HS1500 the other day & couldn't see much difference in the design.
haha, no worries. I think you are on to something. I just took out my 1200 and compared to the 1550. They have basically the same thickness in the (1mm thicker for the 1550). The AR is slightly higher for the 1550 compared to the 1200, but the overall shape is almost identical.
The differences between the 1050 and 1550/1200 is more drastic I'd say. I bet Army would have put the HS1550 in the CF line if the 1600 wasn't already there. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a 1550 V2 similar to the 2400 down the line.
For the one who rode both is there a big difference between the 1850 and the 1550 ?
