If one has a fantasy of trying DW, what foil would be good to start with? High aspect or a big surf type foil? Thanks
Whatever you get make sure its the biggest in the range. Try to make you life as easy as possible.
I ride a Takuma LOL 1900 95% of the time for downwinding.

Hi murf.. have you used the 1600 lol for DW? If so how does it compare to the 1900?
Yep I have used the 1600 for downwinding. For the conditions we have in Adelaide I found there is not a huge amout of difference in speed between the 1600 and 1900. You have a lot more control with the 1600 but the 1900 is just easier to get going.
