thekitefoil.com will make them for you, about $500 for a set.
There's a thread on kiteforum where some guy makes some more like Spotz shape for the same price, called "Malolo" iirc
And of course, LF has the medium aspect wing.
LF makes a higher aspect wing for the foils. Give us a call and we can help you out 02 9529 6894
I have moved on to a higher performance carbon foil. It is faster than my Liquid Force, but not hugely so in cruising mode.
To take advantage of the higher speed potential you need to up your technique a fair bit. Back foot a lot further back. Foil more loaded and cranked over. A lot more active trimming in the front foot, especially in chop. A faster kite helps a lot.
The high performance foil doesn't tend to buck you off at higher speed like the LF does, but it's definitely not a matter of add skinny wing, go faster.
The fastest rider in our group of foilers is the most experienced. His kite is a bit better than ours. His foil is no better. His skill is *much* better.

Thanks for all the info fellas,will prob go with the LF wings at the moment just getting over a knee arthro so I got a bit time to decide wich way to go..
Gorgo l hear what your saying,got to try a kfa a while ago so I know what I'm in for thanks for the advice.
KitePower - what are LF offering as a wing upgrade for the original Foil Fish ( and Rocket Fish too) ? I see they have higher AR Carbon wings on the website, but only the low aspect plastic wing which has the mouldings to suit the fuselage.
I mounted a set of custom made wings to my Foil Fish once, but it was tricky to set up properly because the top surface of the wing is curved, and the fuselage is straight. Hence you can easily set too much or too little lift due to whatever arbitrary angle you set.
Areother plastic wing sets with the correct mouldings now available ?
