You friend got an extremely good low end set up. :)
I owned the V1 Super-k 92l so know that board quite well and demoed the Atlas 1130.
That combo almost takes of by itself and turn reasonably well but I found it also very slow.
The Enduro1300 has a similar take off speed, turns imo better and is faster.
When I put it in numbers I would say I can use KT 100-150cm2 smaller as some other brands while I need to pick AFS an 100-150 bigger for low end.
The top end is whole other game. I have ridden waves with the E1300 (wingfoil and Supfoil) over 37km p/h with full control and If you let go the numbers and just look at feel the 1300 is what you need: significant more low end and lower stall speed compared to your E1000.
Why not the 1100? I have the E900+1100+1300+1600 and think the 1300 covers 90% of the same range as the 1100 but with lower stall and take off speed. The 1100 work better when its more windy and the 1300 become a handfull, but ..you have already your 1000. If I would buy it again it would probably 1300-1000 instead of 1100.

UG stab:
I really like it for its glide and dragless feel once on foil, but if i get you right your issue is not with gliding but to get on foil, and in that regard that stab has no benefits imo.
Once on a foil its great. I just had an DW run with the wingfoil today (not yet into parawing) with my Pure HA1100 and replaced the HA stab for the UG41...whole different foil! The low end hasnt changed, but a lot better glide and pretty good turning and riding in the given conditions.
it also proves to me to not write off older foils.
I bought the E1100 last year and have the pure1100 now 3years and altough i really wanted to like the newer enduro, the older pure HA simply suits me better.
similar low end but more slippry through the water and better acceleration+speed+glide.
The E1100 turns better and has a slightly lower stall but with the pure its really easy to stay at speed that that isnt an issue. I guess the Ultra,s are more similar to it.

HA stab,s:
First get the 1300 and see how you like it with the HA40. For me that set up works as well altough I mostly use it with an HA43 to have just that extra bit to push against..but the differences are small between the 40 and 43.
This also a situation where I already have it, but If I would do it over again I would probably go for the biggest carve as i,m quite impressed by the U-carve140 with my Enduro900.

I think that was correct when board angles and mast angles were allover the place, but nowadays that has come a lot closer so in my experience changing the mastangle (mastshimming) is not relevant anymore.
Nowadays every foilSYSTEM (mast/plane) has a slight positive angle and that ads lift+ prevent nosedives.
If you want to go as fast as you can then a lower or zero angle at the stab can add speed, less frontfoot pressure at high speed, and given the perf nature of the Ultra that is why that advice that, but that why its also not really relevant for most other foils. I tried it with my Enduro700 on the lake with just speeding across the wind and shiming negative made the set up faster (43km p/h, 3km p/h faster as normall) and less frotfoont at top end, but besides the top end the rest felt ugly and hard work to get going. Somebody of lets say 50kg might experience it completely different as the need less lift from the same foil to keep going.

I got my 850 V2 last week and sine then its lightwind, its the newgear-nowindcurse. 🤔
Gona ride it with the short fuse as I don,t have a standard, the Ucarve 140 and or USurf 135. (On the normal/non skinny 80UHM mast).
An Silk 1050 V2 is hopefully ariving soon.
I tried the Ucarve 140 wit my Enduro900 in light conditions and was suprised by how good that felt. maneuvrability alike my Kparts Mako V2 140 but with more glide and slightly better pitch



edit: the 850 looks sexy as hell.

Different weight/riding style and conditions suit different foils.I,m just back from a week at Crozon- French Britany (and 45min from where the AFS factory is located).I can see that the Enduro,s work there really well. Higher speed waves on in general flatter waves and less tight turning. At Home in the Netherlands I ride slow but steep and short period northsea waves where we make lots of tight turns to stay on the waves, the Silks suit me there better.
With the Enduro 700 for example I was outrunning the waves. because it was simply too fast.My quiver now:UHM 80+ waiting for my One Ocean SS78 with adapter for the bigger foils.Enduro 1600+1300+1100+900 (700 sold)Pure HA 1100Silk V1 1050+850 (ordered the V2 1050+850)Evo1650 (just to lazy to sell it/keep it for when the wife wanna give it a try).****load of stabs (Pure/Silk/Silk HA/ Kparts/UG/KD-Maui).

foilkook has a review on Youtube.,
I traded in my Enduro700 and waiting for the arival of my V2 850+1050 and surftails

Bassicly we have 2 protection issues: impact and cut protection.To be honest, I don,t wear either so just rely on my wetsuit (and occasionaly need to repair some cuts from the foils) and luck.Main reason not to wear it is that altough I have some cuts in my suit I never had really physical damage while the protection like helmets r protection shirts feel uncomfortable and flapping aside your body.
With helmets I have or trapped water or windnoise issues.

Regarding to cut resistance: Gong is one of the first mayor players that came up with thiswww.gong-galaxy.com/en/products/gong-bodyguard-long-sleeves-tee-shirt?variant=49337136611647And Duotone just launched a line as well to give you some ideas/ what the competion is doing

The Germans from Glieten.tv, have tested a lot of bigger wings and made freviews about them..With Youtube you can select subtitlesgleiten.tv/index.php/video/action/list/page/497/

Its an Axis base. Stringfellow makes an axis to KT fuse.
