Hi
I am looking for an honest review of anyone who has used these boards. specifically in 130 litre
They seem to be similar dimensions and concepts.

How are they windfoiling? Are there compromises with tthe sail mast track placement closer to the front footstraps?
Do they recover from a breach Ok or are they too short and not enough rocker?
Will they fly early as a traditional windfoil board or will they slog much more? (I am 95 Kgs)
How were they for winging?
Is the finish strong enough or do they compress and show dents easily?
If you got rid of yours - why?
Would you buy it again?
strong points?
Weak points?
What would you change?

thanks in advance.

Hi Mr A
The free foil and Stingray are pretty much the same, I was buying new board, wanted crossover board, was going to try both JP and fanatic boards. I only tried the JP, 130 free foil, it seemed tiny compared to my JP 135, but no worries at all, seemed to fly much quicker than my 135, ( I'm using glide wind with large front wing) I've got only been on it once so far (as I bought JP board I tried)it just seemed to do everything well, apparently they wing ok, I haven't got a wing yet( we have lots of sharp knives, and wife is liable to chop something off), I couldn't find any used for sale in UK, so must say something, sorry can't be more help, as we haven't been out again yet, I got told they are one of the best wind foil boards you can currently get.

I can't speak for the JP, but my Fanatic Stingray LTD is my goto board for foiling with freeride foils. I have the 140 and use it with sails ranging from 4.2 to 8.5. I don't want, or don't need, any other board.
