2021 Wizard 130 first look
Always the best feeling when you pull in your driveway and Mr. FedEx leaves you big box with Slingshot all over it

Lots of foot strap positions to play around with, I may go double back but closer in or I may go out on the rails? time will tell.
I normally use a 41" spread from foil mast leading edge to center of mast base, but think I will experiment with a shorter distance on windier days.

I know the W114 is a super sweet looking board and a lot of foilers will order that size (I will wait to see you guys ripping before I decided to get one?) but for inland lakes with very gusty winds (and at my weight 90kg) I need that extra bit of width still.

1. I like how much shorter the W130 is and everything is scaled back further, so that should turn and carve really well.

2. I LOVE the Wizard 125 and had no problem with the tuttle box etc, but I also Wing foil and so I am also very used to twin tracks and the potential it has over tuttle box.
Having the ability to literally adjust the whole foil forward or back 1cm at a time is a major benefit, it really is amazing when you need that extra bit of pop in flukey conditions.
You can leave your footstraps and mast base alone, no need to switch over the fuse etc, just use the twin tracks.

3. Board weights with straps
2018 W125 = 22.3 lbs/10.12 kg
2021 W130 = 19.0 lbs/8.62 kg

4. I have always used Dakine straps but these slingshot straps are super comfy (4 straps came with board) and I like how there is extra padding over the screw head, I have bruised a barefoot once or twice going upwind and hitting the screw.

5. All 4 nuts and bolts are in the twin tracks ready (order some spare though, you don't want to rock up to the beach with 3 bolts)

6. Plenty of deck grip it seems, think the board finishing guy had a extra beer that day and gave it one extra dose, haha! The deck pads look awesome and comfy as per usual.

7. Sail range as stated in product brochure is 4.5 to 9.0, the biggest sail I will use is 5.8 with infinity wings 99, 84, 76 and Time Code 68.

OK all I need is some wind, as soon as I can I will post video
