Heliboy thanks for the info. I have the WS 1220 wing and have found it good (fly in about 11-12 knots and a 5.3m sail), but wanted something to get me up and going in lighter winds. Got the opportunity to try the 1572cm2 wing on my Naish setup (like yours) and it was amazing. Could get up in 10 knots with a 4.7 by pumping where previously with the other kit, would not have had a hope. I am 70 kg. Thanks for the video. It helped with the decision. Ordered one immediately.
I'd also say that the bigger foil feels much more stable (well, slower to react which makes control for me a lot easier) than the 1220cm WS, responds to pumping better, seems to have a slower stall speed and feels like it wants to sail through the lulls much easier. Can't wait to get it.

Hi.
Glad it helped.
Ive now gone over to the Slingshot kit with and Infinity 84 which is 2000 cm surface area. I think the size of the wing helps and Naish don't make one that big yet. I have improved every single session and love it.
Im 105 kgs and sail on the choppy sea and am able to get foiling is 12 mph and feel really happy with the control. The WS would never have got me any where near that. The XL wing made a huge difference but i think the short Naish fuselage did help with pitch control and I was constantly touching down. That doesn't happen with the longer SS fuse.
Glad you are progressing and finding your dream set up
