Will try this beauty tomorrow. I love the design on the bottom area, wing's plane like, flat followed by a slight curve concave that decrease toward the tips and a very trailing edge. I'll post first impression on Sunday.
Hi,
Very much looking forward to your session report !
I am looking at the Leviathan 1150 as a light wind weapon to replace the 1100 and complement my smaller wings. I am looking for glide combined with early lift, hopefully combined with some degree of manoeuvrability for downwind swell runs. I am 85 kg.
Enjoy it on Sunday.

Looking for the same performance profile, early take off (to use smaller wing)combine with decent glide and maneuverability to play with the swell. I have paired it with the 370 stab to maximise maneuverability.
Cheers
The wind came fast and strong yesterday and today, not the conditions to test the 950 but not complaining epic sessions on the 940
. The forecast for Tuesday looks good to test the 950.
Finally got the right conditions to try the 950 Leviathan. 15 knots and clean swell. The lift is off the charts and the stalling speed close to zero. At take-off it jumps out of the water then stabalises. The pumps are super efficient. It's made to respond to the swell so you have to read the water and guide it. The ride is effortless and super comfortable. If you're looking for thrill it's not for you but if you want to get in harmony with the elements and let the swell carry you then definitely go for it!

Thanks Ben , that sounds very in the line of the 1350 and exactly what I'm looking for in stronger wind conditions but still slow snail speed swell. I've been using the 1350 but I reckon the 950 will be a lot more playful
Thanks for your review / feedback.
When Sabfoil announced the new Leviathan series I immediately could comprehend the WL1150, WL1350 and WL1550.
The use case and goal for the WL950 was less clear from the specs, also due to the moderate AR. Especially because Sabfoil has multiple front wings that could be about the same size and of moderate AR (w799 or w899, w945 and existing W950).
How is the top speed of the 950-L
Would you say it could be good for SUP downwind?
its got a relatively low AR compared to the other leviathan wings, a bit confusing.
Medium speed. The 950 L performs at best when you ride the swell without using wind power through a wing so should suit SUP if you're light weight.
