I have hard that the Sabfoil 679 is really not much different from the 633.
Thinking the glide on the Sabfoil 940 would expand the downwind swell riding fun over the 633.
All I want to do is ride swell.
Any thoughts? |
679 has higher cruising speed than 633 because it’s 20% thinner and is more fun to ride. I believe 940 will be harder to turn on, it’ll feel like riding a railroad track. It will surf 2 feet swell but will be less playful.
I’d suggest trying 799 or Slingshot 730 for more speed and glide and stronger winds |
I appreciate your suggestion and will do further research.
I ride swell by parking the kite directly above me, the 940 is a surf wing with a thin profile, yes tracky but good glide. Wingers love it.
I am looking for a foil for high wind swell and not for freestyle.
The 799 has a much thicker profile, perhaps too similar to the 633.
I have heard mixed reviews on the 679.
Once again I appreciate your suggestions. |
799 is about as thick as 679 which is 20% less than 633.
High wingspan wings get bounced side to side by swell too much - that’s what I felt riding 800 and 1000 wings. But would be curious to hear if feedback on the 940 would match my expectations. |
