After a few days without wind, I was tired of waiting and thought I just give it a try although the wind was super light. I was using the 2000cm² front wing for the first time which was easy to adapt as it works perfectly together with the same 70cm fuselage that the 1400cm² is using without changing anything as for example the screw length as it is the case at some other brands. Once in the water the wide frontwing gives you an extra piece of stability while not foiling. Because of that it should be also perfect for beginners that don’t come from other watersports. I was pumping my wing in almost no wind but as soon as the foil got a bit of flow it felt like it started its motor and lifted me up into the air without any effort.
In the air the foil was going like on rails and although the speed was not fast it never felt like the foil didn’t have enough power to stay above the water. The ride was even more stable than on the 1400 set up but also it was a bit less manoeuvrable which is surely a positive effect for beginners. Although it was less manoeuvrable it was still responding good by doing jibes and tacks.
Impressed by the low wind performance of the 2000cm² Frontwing I came to the conclusion that the combination of the 1400cm² and the 2000cm² with the same 85cm mast, the same 70cm fuselage and the same 228cm² backwing is a perfect combo to cover almost every wind condition while using only one wing. The only thing that is missing in my pocket now is the race set up which will by on my Wishlist for Christmas.
