Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Re: Wing Board Tail Rocker - Thoughts

« on: September 06, 2022, 11:16:43 AM »

I use a SS Shred Sled (5' 9") for really light wind winging with the 8 metre F-One wing. The board has a very long mast track and even with the foil mast at the front of the track the board requires very little front foot pressure (nowhere near even between the feet -- no issues with my 5' 4" 2021 Sky Wing, which does have some tail rocker). I checked the tail rocker and from what I'm seeing the Shred Sled has zero; however, it doesn't ride nose down -- just back foot heavy. Do I shim the stab or shim the mast plate and how best to do either? Thanks for any suggestions.

Apparently for 2023 most wing manufactures will be offering wings with booms and hard handles. Some, like Slingshot, supposedly will be offering all three options -- boom, hard handles and soft handles. If true, then there's something for everyone.

So when they say "flat tail" it really means something other than flat? "What we have here is a failure to communicate."

So anyone know if the Wing Craft V2 has tail rocker as well?

Apparently no tail rocker with this one:

Really short, thick with a flat bottom. (Note the red and orange coloured "boomed" Slingshot wing in the video -- new wing coming?)

Here we go -- are people really this dumb? Heaven help us if this is true and other people in other countries get similar ideas.

Nice comparison between the SLS and new Unit:

Nice comparison of the SLS to the original Slick:

Here's a good look at the Slick SLS (supposedly available in early July although some shops have them now):

There's a new Slick SLS -- new materials, full carbon boom and shaped more like the new Units. Supposedly it will be released in the next couple of weeks. The Slick will still be available. The SLS will be more expensive but maybe you can buy it without the boom (buy one with a boom and the others without as you can with the current Slick).

When it comes to new wings it's the fast and furious!
