Looks pretty quick!  Maybe with a new Phantasm HA wing?

The first half of the attached video in the link below features the Eleveight wing.  If it had more sizes this company might have a winner.

It seems for now the Eleveight only comes in a 4 metre size --  I think they'll need more sizes if they want to make ago of it.

Here's a link to a short review of the new Moses 950 foil.  Little brother to the popular 1100.

You might want to consider buying something "big" (130 or 140 litres) on the used market to get comfortable with.  Once you feel good with it then move to something smaller -- you could probably sell it for close to what you paid.  If you already have a lot of foil experience (i.e. wind foiler or kite foiler) then no problem -- you can start with something pretty small (115 to 125 litre).

I think the biggest mistake some people make (especially after watching the Youtube videos) is that they can hop on a five foot board and away they go.  Some are in for a very rude surprise.

The first few tries with a wing can be brutal so make life as easy as you can for yourself.  Progress is pretty quick but the initial attempts can be tough.

Here's a video of someone with a lot of kite foiling experience talking about board size and other things related to winging (he's 75 kilos).  He recommends a a board that's 15 litres above your body weight (in Kilos).  Most recommendations are for 40 litres above body weight, however, you'll want something smaller pretty quickly.

The kid in this video is on a Gaastra wing (I think -- GA = Gaastra?).  The wing uses two mini booms so I'm guessing that there will be a Gaastra wing released soon with mini booms opposed to six or seven handles.

The kid's wing looks like it has two mini booms rather than standard handles.

Here's a short look at the Dart (new Slingshot wing) in action -- a cold city of Toronto in the background.
