+1 for the 7m CWC -- gets on foil in 3-4 mph less than my 5m wing, feels relatively light in the hands, and it also slogs really well slightly upwind when there's not enough wind to get back to the launch on foil.  Very happy with it.

Axis BCS 1060 front, 400 freeride rear, short red fuse, ultrashort red fuse, and mounting hardware.  Great rig to learn and progress for wingdinging – I’ve moved on to the Axis black fuse wings, but this rig got me through jibing and foot switches and was really fun and easy to use.  Everything in good shape – 1060 has a few scratches sanded down. $675 shipped in the US.

My experience mirrored Pono Bill's comments above -- I used Gil kneepads when learning to get up, and they worked OK but were difficult to keep centered over my knees.  Once my incompetence level dropped, they have not been needed.

Boardriding Maui 5.5 meter W2 wing. Used about a dozen times. One major tear and one small puncture, both professionally repaired at OBX Remix (both shown in photos). Otherwise in great shape. Excellent light to medium wind wing, but now redundant given my current quiver. Comes with bag and leash. $525 plus shipping, which will be about $50 in the US.  Photos at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/o7x1yd8vlzurzg4/AACYu6TWP_5PN3z6z1FndLaZa?dl=0

my 4.7 arrived today. Should be plenty of wind by Sunday to give it a good run. A friend with a 5.0 OR full aluula might join me so we can try them back to back.

I would love to read about the Reeding/OR comparison in these sizes --- please please post if you get to try them both.  Thanks!!!!!

Another big fan of the 7m CWC after three low wind sessions.  Big takeaways 1. I was foiling in conditions where I would not have even tried with either of my two previous 6m wings. 2. It is really light in the hands and easy and even pleasant to use, even in slogging conditions

[reasonably experienced  80 kg foiler in second year of wingdinging, using a 98l board and Axis 1060/420]

I’ve had both a 2020 f1 Swing 6m and BRM 6m, and found both to be heavy, no fun, and not really much better than a 5m in low winds.  This wing is entirely different.  It can be pumped up on foil in much less wind and pretty intuitively, and once up it generated enough power to stay up in really light winds.  If I had to guess, I can get up in 10mph and stay foiing down to 6 or so – but those are really just guesses; I don’t really know the speeds.  I do know that it will get up and stay up at much lower windspeeds than a 2020 BRM 6m or a 2021 BRM 5.5m (and the 5.5 is a great wing with a pretty good low end IMO). 

What people have said about the tips bouncing off the water is true – you don’t pay the usual penalty for letting a wingtip touch when holding the big wing vertically to go upwind.  It also is the best wing I’ve used with a harness – stays locked and stable when you are hooked in, even in light winds.  It does pull on you quite a bit, but the harness makes that not much of an issue for me.

For those of you who, like me, end up going out in too little wind, or when the wind is going to die, the slogging performance of the CWC7 was a really nice surprise.  It supports its own weight and provides enough drive to hold ground in winds way too light to get up on a foil, either kneeling or standing on a +15 board.

I am really impressed with this wing and really happy I decided to spend all that money on it – F1 deserve praise for really thinking through how to make a wing work in low winds.

That board looks exactly like what I've been wondering about -- hope it rides as good as it looks
