I’m looking for a comparison b/w the Nomad and Armstrong MA mk2. Specifically looking for a foil on those big gorge days parawinging that can tame the energy a bit and easy to turn on the swell. It’s the seems the Nomad would have better low end given the high camber and maybe better glide with the aspect ratio in the 9’s instead of 8. But the MA seems that it would be faster, maybe have better pitch stability and turn better? Not sure. Would love to hear some input on those that have tried out these foils. Many thanks.

Sorry - 4.3 is a one pull. 5.7 is the 2 pull (1.5).

Another data point - the hybrid wing tips doesn't seem to have the same water retention character that the PT Skin has.

That's very interesting as a few people have commented that getting water in the PT Skin wing tips is a bit of a pain in the ass. Would you say the PT Hybrid's low end power is similar to the PT Skin of similar size? I'm looking at purchasing a light wind PW and considering the PT Skin 7.3, PT Hybrid 7.2m and the Quest 6m. For reference I am 100kg, intermediate PW on a Frigate 4.7m and 4.0m.
