Heaps of development and talk about which foil is best. Made me think about what criteria I would like to test or compare front wing (although combi with fuse+stab should be more precise / useable).

Wonder if we can think of a good selection.
1) Speed
Lift speed
Stall speed
Top speed
Pump speed

2) manouvrability
Turn arc
carve arc
breach resistance

3) pumpability
Pump along wave /wake
Pump
pump ease

4) Glide
Glide distance (from cruise speed 15kn? - to touch down)
Glide feel (on (wind) swell/wave)

5) Jump
Pop
Landing

6) ease of use
