I'm using the same board and foil, different mast and stab. I feel like the thickness of the board took a little getting used to while riding, maybe more so than the length and width. It's certainly different than a Wing or Flow Craft, anyway!
Yes the board thickness threw me off at first. 82cm mast and 6” of board and you feel so much higher off the water. Found tacking this board easier than the wingcraft. Looking forward to taking it out into good swell.
I understand but the techy stuff It’s all on the slingshot website. Historically on my videos I get on the water with the kit... Less waffle and straight to the point 👍
@@peaplecreative Thanks a lot for your answer. Unfortunatly, not a single word about the construction on the website. That's why i'm asking you ;) And if we speak about the weight... i don't really believe on what a brand say. Owners are sometimes more honest :p Thanks again. Hope i can try it soon :)
@@peaplecreative A huge thank you for your answer one more time! Hope you will have many others good sessions with your new board... and hope i will try one in few weeks ...😀
I used to coach foiling and so I would not advise this board for a beginner, you would be fighting everything just standing up and there would be too many things going on..think it would be frustrating to be honest.
I think you’re in about the same situation as myself, I initially bought a 105L Fanatic SkySup which I think is a bit small for a beginner, especially if you’re self-teaching. I was struggling on it for sure. Probably a 130-140 litre board would be good. I bought a 185 litre F-One Rocket Air which is an inflatable, I suspect the size and extra drag and additional flex (because it’s inflatable it’s not as rigid) are part of what’s preventing me from actually getting up on the foils, so consider a rigid board. I can stand on it and get the wing up because it has so much stability, but no “flying” yet. The tech is rapidly changing and there’s lots of people who like to be on the latest models so hunt for good condition stuff on the used market. Not saying that inflatables don’t work as definitely you can find people using them, they’re also a little more convenient for storage than a rigid board just a consideration to keep in mind.
Looks good! You never really seemed to struggle getting the Wingcraft going with that foil and wing. How much easier would you guess is it to foil? 5% , 15%. 50%? Just curious if it will replace your Wingcraft?
It will not replace the wingcraft board. Just like wing sizes and foils they each offer dialing in that days conditions. Florida we have a massive amount of 9-14 mph days and this board I think is the answer…long and narrow work. As for if it’s easier, it may depend on everyone’s experience level. I would not recommend it for someone learning or transitioning to smaller boards.
What kind of wind strength are you thinking? I am 88kg and will only use the 105L in 8-15mph then go to an 80L shortboard. The 95L is also shorter and narrower than the 105L. The longer the length and rocker the easier it is to get up on the foil in light winds
@@sea_verse507 other than the step, I don’t see any resemblance? The KT is more angler in the rear. The laser craft was meant to have come out in 2023/24 season but they waited to tweak it.
No, step is behind the mast. Anyhow so many different shapes on the market today and they all work 🤣. Makes you wonder what really matters. I think weight and stiffness is what counts most.
I love the knee and ankle brace, me too im a lot older but still out riding as much as possible. Larry
Got to strap up and keep playing hard my friend, cheers Dean
Nice review !! Love board!
Very similar to my super k which I absolutely love.

Hello ! Thanks for such a cool review. You don't give any information about the weight and the construction ? Really important for such a big toy ? :)

@@tranquiloukiricou3705 I see what I can find out on the construction and I’ll weigh my board to see where it comes in at.
@@tranquiloukiricou3705the construction is carbon lay up.
@@peaplecreative A huge thank you for your answer one more time! Hope you will have many others good sessions with your new board... and hope i will try one in few weeks ...😀
Do you think as a noob I could get up on this board, and does it work well in normal conditions?
I used to coach foiling and so I would not advise this board for a beginner, you would be fighting everything just standing up and there would be too many things going on..think it would be frustrating to be honest.
@peaplecreative thanks

Im 100kg riding 80l standard shape board was thinking of 95l lasercraft. What do you think?

Mainly for the low end 10- 20mph
Looks like a nice KT Super K copy. even the colors are the same 😅

Looks very similar! The step is behind the mast though.
