I would be interested in feedback of experiences from anyone who has tried the wing and how they found it.
Dimension wise a 7 m is not as wide as a 6 m duotone slick. It seems to have the size at the tail.
Wondering if it may be too light wind oriented and not a good all rounder? Or, is it quick and comfortable anyway?
How did you find the flat handles?
did the size affect user friendliness - I have had 7 m FOne CWC and a 7 m Ventis and found them to be big in the hands

Couple of people at my local spot have them. I ride the XPS 6.1m and a friend rode the 7m.
He loves it. Light and powerful. He kept it from 10-ish to 20kt (with harness).
Takes some time to get used as it has a tendency to push down while tacking on one hand.
The battens on the back trail are delicate and I suggest to get an extra set when ordering the sail.
