I've had a few goes on the 850 winging. Whatever you do, don't use the -1 shim/212 tail and get frustrated about not getting up and throw a 300 tail with -2 shim on the rig. That equals 'dolphin mode'.




Received the 850 today. Unfortunately I only have the 212 and 50 fuse. I do have KD 13" coming. Will give it a go with big 6.4 hopefully she goes.



The 13" KD tail will be perfect. (had my first session prone on it with the 1250 the other day and it went nuts). I think the last time I tried winging the 850 I hadn't flipped around my t-nuts to allow that extra forward mast position on my tracks (which I usually do). I think that with the 0 Shim will be good with either tail.


Good to hear, really looking forward to getting my KD.
Had my first session HS850 100M 50F 212 0 using the SlingWing 6.4 I'm surprised how well it comes up on foil. I found just building board speed the best technique to get up not trying to pump the wing on foil like I do with larger wings. Can't wait for epic conditions this thing gonna be awesome!
