I am nearly in the market for a SUP foil that I can also windfoil with in lighter winds and waves and I rode the Slingshot H2 wind foiling on the Wizard 125L windfoil board. I found it very easy to pop up and fly and did my first full foiling gybe on it and very close on a few other attempts. I use a high aspect Neil Pryde foil for wind foiling so the Slingshot H2 looks medium aspect to me.
I think for SUP I'd go bigger than the H2 but not sure how that would be for wind foiling?
Also thinking about converting my Deep Minion 7'4x27.75" 104L for foiling but wonder if that is too low volume for me @85kg? I am also wondering if I get the Minion converted for winding too by putting straps and a mast track in it?
I think it could work for windfoiling, but you have to decide which compromises you're willing to take regarding the foil you'll use and the trimm you've to use for your inserts.
A Supfoil (trimm) needs the position of track and straps more forward.
My customboard has two tuttleboxes for the windfoil and Supfoil, so i can use the "normal" windsurf trimm for windfoiling.
My board is 8 x 30", 130 liters, perfect to slightly to big for my 90 kg.

Nice rig Alex , can you still up haul on that.
Yes, it is easy. The squarish Tomo shapes give so much static stability, even on fresh water lakesailing and full on winter wetsuit, shoes, etc.

Nice set up. So this is a custom SUP and Windfoil board? How well does it work for both? i.e. any compromises or works sweet for both sports? (I am totally obsessed with wind foiling now as getting so much time on the foil and cranking nearly 25knots on it - but also looking to explore low speed high lift foils for SUP surfing and wind foiling)
For me it works quite good for windfoiling and Supsurfing, but for sure two dedicated boards should be better.
But as i don't want to carry so much boards with me, for me it is perfect.
I can't say much about supfoiling, i'm just about to start this.
For windfoiling i've used both tuttleboxes with success, for learning a mantafoil with a kite/sup setup (mast directly behind frontwing) and now the Aeromod in the rear box.
