Sorry for the delay. I checked with my friend about his impressions.
Easy to get going, very easy to keep going through lulls. No special technique.
But doesn't fit on the longer fuselages he prefers. He's a bigger rider who doesn't like pumping so uses big sails. Currently trying to make an adapter for a Starboard 115+ fuselage.

So if you don't mind the SAB fuselage length it's brilliant in light wind.


Thanks for the update. This certainly makes the 1350 more interesting.

I wonder whether the 1350 will be less or more strain on the rest of the foil (screws, fuse, mast), compared with the 1250 - wingspan vs area (although they are very wide, both of them).

I am using the 1350 for both wind and wing foiling. The glide-ability and high speed are an improvement over the 1100. BUT, the width is a deterent for hard carving. For super light winds I considered the 1550, but saw comments that it's hard to turn, so I got the 1350

For the 1100, light winds and waves (carving)...900mm FUSE

For the 1350, light winds and flat water (pumping), winging, eFoiling I use a shorter fuse.
Stringfellow/Moses Custom Fuse 710mm, www.mackiteboarding.com/custom-moses-super-fuse-surf-fuselage/
(FYI, this fuse will fit the beefier windsurfing foil mast)

I've been using a Leviathan 1350 for light wind windfoiling for some time. It's exceptionally early flying and very stable in flight - super comfortable and very predictable to ride. No special technique required. It was plug and play. My set up is mostly Phantasm, so I attached the 1350 to a Phantasm fuse using Sabfoil's M6/M8 adapter kit & M6 slingshot bolts. I'm in a light wind area, so the 1350 had a lot of use. I didn't notice any issues with the connection or bolts bending. Sab markets this wing as a pump foil, but it has much more versatility.

Hello,

I see your discussion on the Leviathan 1350, that super interesting.
I looking to find a way to reduce my number of wing from an I84 and W899 to a one wing for Wind and Wing. For wind foiling I will use it on a JP Freefoil 105 with loftsails wavescape from 6,2 to 3,7
Would the 1350 a good option?
For a 76kg rider what could be the low and high end for this wing?
What fuse are you using? At the moment I am on the hold Sab mast+fuse and thinking switching to Kraken to reduce number of mast (us and tutlle) and fuse with the 753 that good for wind and wing.
what about the pro version 1260?

thank you in advance for your feedback
