First time ever on a high aspect front wing -- mind blown! For months now I've been using a 1475MA for light wind and a 1225MA for everything else. I've tried a 1000MA in powered up conditions but I find it tricky because the stall speed seems so high. 30km on a 880HA today was an absolute joy. It seemed about the same as the 1225MA in terms of ease of use -- which I really don't understand given the huge size difference yet almost identical spans -- but take offs were so much nicer and the stall speed seems lower. I think I might finally learn to gybe because of the incredible glide of this thing! Great turnout for a November day, lots of happy foilers. Awesome session!
