Ok folks, I'm 95kg/210pds and I need a Big Wing that I can use for smaller surf, light wind winging and/or pumping.
I'm on Omen gear and my biggest wing is the 1050 Operator, which has a remarkably good bottom end I might add.
I can and have had Jim Stringfellow whip me up custom fuselage to fit into my 80cm Omen/NL2 mast. The guy is a fabricating wizard if you didn't know.
I'm advanced/expert skill level.
Large wings don't necessarily scale up, so I'd love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and experience in the matter please!
Maybe look at a bigger tail to go with your 1050 first. I've got a least 5 lbs on you and I can't imagine needing something bigger than a 1050. Think of trying a big downwind or race style tail or if possible a longer fuse

ya I've got one of those(big stabs). Greg(Omen); shoots me all sorts of things to play with. Really the biggest issue i have is(being on a SUP) getting good pumping is quite difficult. Unforgiving at my size with the board im on. It's like if I had something in the 1250 range I think I'd be set
I've had a few runs now on the new Code 1540. Lovely wing, super relaxed, lift isn't overpowering. Turns OKAY, but I want to try it next on a short fuse.
I'm 87kg and just got the AFS Enduro 1300/HA43 and have a few super fun SUP sessions on it. Tons of glide and drive. Still turns decently for the span. Speed range is really good. Loves to get its tips put. I'd say great for small surf and light wind. Will not be an easy pump foil unless you have an easy launch. New KT offer probably worth keeping an eye on. Maybe you want even bigger.
