Nice design.

next question :D
what size would you recommend for a: 72kg rider, 99% on gusty lakes. only freeride and free race. I have a 2021 F-One Strike 6 and 4.2, and looking for something in between, as 6 is now as I get better too big, whereas 4.2 is still too small.

If you wanna race go big. Everyone says these XPS wings handle gusts and being over powered really well, so go big I'd say. 😎🤙

[@REALmattnuzzo]

The 5.3m will be the right call. Really good all around size with heaps of wind range. We just got a few in stock at REAL that are ready to ship.

[@secondlife7976]

Could you suggest please. I want to purchase, but not sure about size. I want to have 2 wings only. Located in Miami. 80kg, North Seek v2 5.1, North MA1200, F-ONE CWC v3 8m. What is better 4.6 or 5.3 ? Beginner, learning jybe.

[@flightjunkie808]

So much is personal preference with wing size. If you have a 5.1 and often wish you had a smaller wing then get the 4.6m. 🤷‍♂️ If you feel your 5.1 is small enough then get the 5.3. Personally I plan to get the 4.6m but I mainly wing with the focus of going up wind to then pack down and do a deflate Downwinder so smaller lighter is better. 😎🤙

[@REALmattnuzzo]

For max wind range for a two wing quiver the 8m cwc and you should get the 4.6m xps. I personally would size 8m, 5.3, 4.0 but that is three wings and you only want two so split the difference and go 8m and 4.6m.

[@MatthiasKoch]

interesting :)
just a question as a German, what do you mean with "grunt" gruntier? with my translation and even all the tolls want to tell me it is the sound of an animal, so I think you mean something totally different, maybe you could bring some light over here :)

[@REALWatersports]

He just means that comparing those sizes, the "gruntier" one has a little more strength to it!

[@REALmattnuzzo]

Grungier means more low end power.🤙
