Heya, I do not think the skybrid is heavy at all. Do the other boards you are comparing to, have footstrap inserts? I would check the weight yourself as sometimes weights online can be inaccurate.

Heya yes the 1100 Glide 2.0 will be perfect for this :)

heya, you can go one size smaller compared to the glide 1.0 hope this helps sam

Bro I totally get you on this point. The conditions I sail are similar to what you described and the thought of a sinker board for me is just a flat no way, it to much of a risk if the wind turns off. I am similar weight to you, and I have been looking at this board and I would only consider the 100L as the lower limit for use as my all around board. I have a DW board @105L for really light conditions but yeah no way I would ever consider a sinker with the conditions we have.

@@Netgazumjust ordered the 5‘10 after I talked to a friend who rides very good. He is 62kg and has the 5‘6. So same difference between weight and volume as me. He really recommended me to take the 5‘10.

@@Netgazum just got my 5'10 and directly went on the water. It is awesome. Really next level. Don't hesitate to get one...

@@redwine1980a it’s not as low as the carve or whizz. As they both have very low stall speed for riding wave at low speed. But it is much better than the first glide.

hi. Which foil would you recommend to ride best in light winds? I have the 2000 free. Would I get out of the water faster with the Glide 2.0 in 1350? in combination with my 5.9 free board and 6dlab unit at 88 kilos?

@@fabregasser1313 very good question. The 2000 is a very large foil so will rise early but may not go forward or fast. The 1350 maybe more like the 1500 or 1750 aero free. So maybe not as early lift. But will feel a lot better once going forward and up. I would guess if you can get your technique and ability right. You should be able to get going very early with that 6m dlab and 1350 and you will have a great time! I think the aero free 2000 will rise slightly early but will be slower.

heya, 5'8 is a very good size for you in light winds. its definitely a safe bet. I have beening winging 5 years, windsurfed for 20, kite foil etc. If I was always on flat or gusty water, I would probably be on the 85l to give me more chance. I have used the 70L which is neutral buoyancy so does work as a one board, but is hard in lighter winds

@@worthingwatersports I see thanks a lot for your response.

I weigh 70kg and I would like to think about the 55l at the moment I use the Sky style 65

Yes but that combined with the new handles and new design. It honestly feels balanced and lighter becuase of all of this. Maybe it’s not actually technically much lighter. But it felt a LOT lighter. 😊

If that was directed at me, I use the Fanatic Free and Carve series. The free gets up a bit earlier and is a touch faster, but for rolling around in swell the carves are SO good. Also, I feel the carves are better behaved in chop, where my free 1000 sometimes ventilates. In very light wind it’s hard to beat the Free1250. I haven’t ride any of the very new stuff and probably won’t get the chance for a while now.

Heya I have not noticed this before. I have generally foun that the wing is very balance. Are you maybe very over powered? this may cause the wing to feel unbalance?

@@worthingwatersports I was underpowered, barely got up in a gust and had about 20 minutes on the foil.

heya, no sorry, its just one switch and one setting. just on or off with a built in 60 mins cut off timer

Heya both the origional and latest rouge harness is flex index of 11. which is stiffer the softshell which doesn't have a flex index. Im not sure where you have seen a rouge with 14. here is the whole range - worthingwatersports.com/collections/foil-wing-harnesses-and-hooks

@@worthingwatersports for esemple in the last photo of 2022 version in your website. Or in the photos of the official ION website

2:54 R14… flex index 14 There more photos also in official ION website

heya, the orca is soon to be discontinued as the Shark 2s and Cachalot are now available. i am sorry

heya, the carve 2.0 is the best morden duotone foil for all alspects of kitesurfing... however there still some of the previous generation that are being sold very cheap. worthingwatersports.com/collections/foilboards

​@worthingwatersportcan any of these foils fit on the spirit sls fuselage?

Heya, most good and comparable E-Foil boards are £10,000-£15,000 The beauty of this system is can be used on your existing equipment. It is a good way for beginners to learn the foil and then continue to use the same equipment. Foil Drive is 4kg. Foildrive boards are 10-20kg, so the sensation is very different.

@@worthingwatersports maybe research into brands like SiFly and Waydoo for comparable boards which are half the price you claim. Agree with you on the weight difference but in flat or choppy water where you wont really be pumping anything longer than a minute, weight isn’t really a factor. There is a big difference between the two systems but they are used for different sports essentially. Each to their own but if you are looking at a FoilDrive and you are EFoiling more than 50% of the time then get an EFoil

Heya, I would go for the 1305 for light wind and 1050 for higher winds :) I'm a very similar weight.

I found out 1305 really low wind, but kind of boring. Rather takin our dlab carve and bigger wing unless There is NO wind. Whizz 1000 might be the best, best of 2 world, check it out..80kg here..

Very helpful info - Am currently 5 months into my foiling, Currently using the entry level 2000 all rounder but am progressing well , Starting to have increased success rate on the genes so sizing up my next foil - am around 85 kg and hoping to move in more open sea foiling going forward - what would you recommend ?

@@PhilWard-v7o heya thank you 🤩 I don’t think you can go wrong with the aero free. Maybe 1500 or 1750. I think when you’re ready to progress the 1500 will be best for long term. You probably won’t need another foil as they are very efficient

Heya unfortunately not, the head is glued onto the mast for strength and weight reduction

Thank you for your kind words

Heya, interesting thoughts. The new boards are not only lighter, but they are stronger and will last longer. Due to using higher quality materials and high standard manufacturing processes... It is not just to get the boards planning quicker. The 'dink' and dent ability of the new DLABs is much higher than anything before from fanatic/duotone. They are noticeable stiffer even just to touch

@@worthingwatersports changing from cobra to kinetic is certainly a good move, yet, the lighter boards may be stronger than previous ones but why not increase even more durability when you have the weight advantage? (Note: my Witchcraft driven mindset on this is influencing my viewpoint heavily, I know.)

@@windsurf888@windsurf888 is always a compromise, I guess. They seem to have a really good balance now. I do not want the performance to change by getting heavier These boards are exceptional on the water, and their performance is second to none. I have heard witchcraft are very well-built!

@@worthingwatersports it is certainly interesting and next time I have the change to try one I will - just to get an idea what a light board feels like.

sounds good! will do :)

I have one, pretty sure it’s the opposite but maybe it’s my mistake

The difference in weight is only .5lbs/340grams between alu and platinum SLS. .79lbs/357grams between alu and platinum. You can feel the difference in weight once you strap it to a 4.5lb/2.05kg wing?

Heya. For me so far 4.0 But I think it would happily take 4.2. Maybe 4.5

I'm using it but still take at least 10 hours, and reversing the wetsuit at least 1 time
