Yes, I've got one that I use with the performance stab on my Slingshot Wizard 103. It's impressive at low speeds for a 800 cm2 wing.

It has a pretty low stall speed that's not much more than an Infinity 76 wing yet it feels faster than something like the Infinity 65. I still use the LK1200 wing when it's really light but the performance wing works well the rest of the time.

I bought a 1200 Zulu fin wing. I can't get it yet. Because of the coronavirus, there is no normal delivery from South Africa, I sent it to Berlin, and now from Berlin to Moscow. But I want to buy a performance wing. Tell me with a performance wing, is it necessary to have a performance stabilizer? In what wind does the performance take off? The French promise 8-9 knots.

I probably need about 10 knots with a 6m to get going with the performance wing but can stay foiling in about 8 knots with some pumping. On the LK 1200 with the same sail I can get going in less than 10 knots with some vigorous pumping.
