SABFoil have once again secretly released new wings without telling anyone. I have no idea how they intend to actually sell these new products if nobody knows about them. Bizarre!

They've been out for over a month and yet there isn't a single review online anywhere.

So this is the Balz Pro line . a different version of the Medusa Pro wings. They look interesting as they're different sizes to the Medusa pros: have less anhedral, more chord and are thinner. Maybe a cross over to pick up the old Onda line up that they secretly deleted (which was their best lineup in my opinion).

Has anyone tried the new Balz wings or is the secret still safe with SABFoil and Balz?

This launch video was released a couple of weeks ago and social media had been floated since ..
The latest and greatest is Roger, the Sabfoil Para Wing though ..

There has been plenty of rumours and messages on the Socials and even an interview with James Mazzanti at AWSI this year where he explains the differences between the Balz Muller front wings and the Medusa Pro line.

I agree on reviews. Somehow there are very few reviews on foil gear, especially in direct comparison. Can't remember any reviews of the Sabfoil Razor Pro front wings, other than Hoppliner. Difficulty is that different riders tend to like different gear. Of course riding style and condition, but - in my limited experience - skill level and weight are a pretty big influence on the foils you like.

Newest kid on the Sabfoil block is the Leviathan Pro 1360. And they've changed the graphics (again!).

They do look like a pretty nice mid aspect design. Only smaller sizes though, 1000cm2 looks like the biggest. As a heavier guy I guess I'll just have to wait and hope for bigger Balz in the future.

You don't need a bigger wing, just a longer narrower board.

The SABFoil promo video is pretty lame. I like Balz but I don't put much cred to him saying "this is my go to front wing". SABFoil specifically designed these wings for him and stamped his actual name on them so I'd be more surprised if he didn't like them.

I imagine I'd like a wing a specialist company designed and shaped for my specific riding requirement and plastered my name on it.

We really need some independent reviews to provide some context to where this fits in the heavily reduced (for 2025) SABFoil T8 front wing lineup.
