I am currently considering going to AFS, Code or F4.

78 kg, primarily wing in New England 3m to 7m and prefer swell, wave riding however do a bit of flat water. Advancing intermediate jibe well, working on tacks.

Former kit was Axis - HPS and Spitfires.

I know enough about the AFS and Code offerings so wanted to hear some updates on F4 - primarily Orca vs Manta. Stick with only one model or mix it up and if so, Manta's for high winds/waves and Orca for flatter conditions or vice versa.

Thx

I chat with this guy frequently. He just switched from AFS to F4 in Maui.

I think he's SaltyHaole on progression project: forum.progressionproject.com/u/saltyhaole/summary
On here, I think Norfolkfoiler is the handle of a guy who went AFS to F4.

I think I'll have a go on the Orca 685 soonish.

I am 93kg - mainly parawing with some winging on an 80l SK2. I use the orca 800 and manta 750 predominantly - have the smaller and larger sizes in both too. I use the 85 RC mast with the 135s and 137s. I switched from the afs enduros (700, 900, 1100, 1300) most recently, and eagle 890 / sk850. The orca 800 compares to the enduro 900, but offers me an upgrade in all the key areas: better low end, better roll, and better top end (the feel of efficiency at high speed). I use this for parawing when it is low energy eg waist high bumps. The manta 750 compares to a sk8 850 (which I loved), but with more low end, but a similar feel of top end speed and carve/roll. I did demo the v1 silk 850 but did not get along with it - wasn’t used to the lack of glide and lack of top end. I use the manta for higher energy bumps parawing and winging. So for me the f4 hype is real - best foils I have used so far. What I am probably most impressed by so far is the glide and low end of the 750 for a foil that drives turns so well.
