Azymuth,do you think there would be a benefit to using the 115 vs the Wizard 105 for the kind of foiling you do.
Or is the 115 for pure freestyle junkies??
What I'm getting at is, which board would be more fun for heading up wind then going on long down wind swell rides & cranking turns

That's a good question - I've been discussing it quite a lot with Jesper and Simon. And Jesper's been talking to Wyatt.
As Wyatt says in the vid the 115 and 87 are freestyle optimized hence the upright over the centreline stance.
At 61 I'm way past trying to freestyle

The Wizard 125 and 105 are probably better all-rounders - awesome upwind as your feet are more outboard, also perhaps better for powered-up downwind carving on swells. I've tried a rear strap on the centre-line of the 105 and while quick to react found that I couldn't leverage the foil to power carves as much in that position. I only tried it once so might change with familiarity.
But anyway you can use rear dual straps on the new freestyle boards and have the front straps in the outboard settings which will get closer to the 105 setup, so I reckon they'll rock downwind.

So that's a long way of saying I don't know - it's a big ask, the 105 is such an awesome downwind swell carver

But I've ordered an 87 so I'll let you know for sure soon

Found a little more info (pic) on the new wings and fuselage for the H-2 and the phantasm

Great photo Gwarn. Where did you find it?
i noticed that some of the wings have the slot for the mast in the A position and some don't. is the blue mast alloy? It seems to fit the new fuselage. longer fuse on the right than the others that look quite short. mast on the floor has a ghost whisperer type Tuttle fitting and mast on the left front has a fixed plate type head
lots to take in.

If you check some kiteboarding vendors you can find interesting bits like an adapter to marry Slingshot mast to Moses fuselage for example.

Liqud Force wings are the same as SlingShot but painted turquoise color.

These fuselages on the pic all seem to fit the new carbon masts. It looks a lot like at the Moses foils.
