Aloha,

Newbie here with an upgrade question. I am currently running the Starboard foil 1700 (got used at a good price) on a 6'7" WingBoard (I'm 87kg). I can get on foil only when it's near 20 kts. My local dealer has a 2000 wing on sale and is holding it for me. Just wondering if it's worth it to pay some $ for the bigger wing so I can get up sooner and in lighter winds.

Thx,

I have the short tail. The S type 2000 wing I'm offered is a 2021 model

I have the same foil and it is terrible for lift, just not enough thickness and shape. I ended up getting a second-hand custom 1700 cm? foil which has a far better low-end. At 75 kg, I've never felt the need for a bigger foil.

Thx for all the responses. Sound like the S-type 2000 will be an improvement over my current 1700, especially in the choppy, ocean conditions I normally ride in. Would love to get a 2400, but none are available right now and no one know when they will be.

How many of you using SB Ocean surf 2000 for windoiling? My 67cm fuselage got broken in front of mast connection. When it happened wing folded like car hood up, than shoot up damaging front edge of mast, made it flat 2mm and then hit board bottom, made good crack. Was with 7.0m sail. Stabilizer was used 370.

Maybe those 2000 or 2400 intended for sup wing only, not for windfoiling. I'm weight 162lbs, I mostly used in high wind 15-35mph wind and sail range 3.7-8m. Mostly 3.7-5m. Bellow 15mph wind speed going with starboard race foil and big sails.

I like 2000 a lot for swell, wave or even flat water play. Max. speed I got on this wing 20mph, not going more, average flying speed 15-17mph. Very fun to blast on waves, just using wave energy.

Tried couple times front screw position in beginning, to much lift on waves for my weight.

Does anyone tried 87cm fuselage vs. 67cm
Shorter would be more turn and pumpable. Longer would be better for lighter wind?

I have pictures, but can't post it for scam purposes. 1st post
