Excepts Lyds foil is faster
Is it too difficult starting foiling with this one? I've read it has no super good light wind performance. What could be its wind range for a beginner? Do I need a foil dedicated board to is it possible starting with a big slalom?
Sure you can start with one, but you're making it harder on yourself.
Everyone learned on Pinkie.
But you better have skills like planing thru windsurf jibes first. Perseverance, and many foiling days.
the pinkie ? over here nothing..... if you have one you're stuck with it !!
Good luck selling it ! 
I foiled 80+ days with the Naish 1220 wing.
Now setting up the 600 kitewing for our higher winds.
That's smaller than pinkie by a little.
Surf FX in Australia has them on sale for $2499. Trust me if you only ever want one foil buy one, learn on it (may take more time) but you won't be updating your foil every couple of months. BUT I will say this is only if you want to foil fast, if you just want to cruise at slower speeds get a bigger wing. I can get going in 8 knots with my 8.2 Overdrive (modified) it does require more board speed to get up but once it's flying it's so smooth and fast. I use it on a 82 wide Isonic 127 which perfect, also have a Stingray 140 foil board which I'm trying to like but it's not as fun as the 127. I really like that the mast and fuselage is one piece as it's super stable, happy days
Sounds very good, something to consider when i upgrade from freeride to race full carbon
From 5-15 to the end this guy helps explain the pros and cons of different foil setups including tuning the stabilizer for more or less lift.
