Hey there, I have experience with the 125L version for foiling with the Infinity 84 on a long fuse in C position. My Wizard is the first generation with a Tuttle box instead of tracks for mounting the foil. It worked pretty well for learning and even better with tracks added forwards of the box to get the foil in a better position. How well yours works for you I think depends on your own weight, conditions and wing size. Aim to go ~a meter bigger with the handwing than what you would choose for a sail if windfoiling Start with the 84 when learning, you may want to remove the front straps as they will get in the way when positioning your feed, but if you do remove them I suggest you replace them with some webbing straps or something so you can still carry the board easily. Given that you are a windfoiler you will take right to wingfoiling, wait til you are comfortable with trying jibing and you'll see how easy it is with a wing. My suggestion is learn on the Wizard then you will probably outgrow it for winging and want something smaller. Windfoiling boards, if you already have one, are perfect for avoiding the cost of a beginner wingfoiling board. Good luck! Here's my Wizard working for me, three hours in to the sport:
