This looks interesting. 120cm of carbon sexiness from Zulu compatible with Starboard and Zulu fuses.

I wonder how many other compatible wings will come out?

Interesting that it bolts onto starboard fuselages. It's probably expensive though. I'd need to know it was good before buying it. Also, would it work well with the starboard stabilisers or does it need its own?

Their post says 270 euro. Less than half the price of a millenium wing in the U.S. From the video, looks like a straight "bolt on". No clue about the stabs. Wiser minds can chime in.

looks like a decent copy of the starboard race foil , no reason it shouldn't work. Zulu fins are quite good after all !

Zulu make high quality fins so foils should be no different. I have only used their 800 wide wing and it was very good. Slightly wider chord than the starboard wing. Those 1200 wings are on their way to WA as we speak. ;) Looking forward you having a try.
The standard Zulu wing mount is slightly different to starboard but can be modified to suit by request I believe.
The guys at Zulu are really passionate about what they do, great to deal with

So did anyone try these out ? Is it a good alternative for the SB millenium ?

The wing photo is probably of a thickness of 12-13 mm which is very good for speed. My wing Horue xxlw with a thickness of 15 mm we are Waiting for tests in what wind it is interesting to ride on this wing.

Tell me how the quality is. I wanted to buy a Zulu fin, but I didn't get it. Since I was told by an athlete that his friend broke Zulu's fin three times. Is the Foyle made securely?

I've had no issues with the foil. It's been great to learn to race on and is good quality. It's got a good top speed and is very stable. It's not the best upwind but that could also be down to not having a foil sail and being new to racing. Robbie is going to make me a new fuselage to push the main foil further forward and hence improve upwind ability.

Not much on the website except for the full foil. Would be interested in buying wings if there was more info available.

Send Robbie an email (see website) and he'll be happy to send you more info. Maybe ask when he will update his site?

He doesn't respond well to email. It is better to write it on whatsapp. I ordered a 1200 wing from him and made the fuselage. Now the problem is send. South Africa post is a poor organization. Robie says it's better not to send it through the South African post office. I'm waiting for the transport company's office to open.
