I am wondering if it would be good idea to buy HA wide wingspan front wind for wingfoiling in light wind conditions on the lakes?
I saw in youtube that guys are using Axis 1350 front wing for winging and pumping.
At the moment I am looking at Gong WING CURVE XXL-H (wingspan 1150mm) or Sirus XL (wingspan 1360mm). Or you could propose other?
Also I am thinking such front wing could be useful for starting supfoiling.
My light wind board is Takuma ZK SUP 6', wing Duotone Echo 7m2.
I am 80kg, 183cm

I have just ordered the L Sirus for the same thing. I'm hoping to get away with this foil, 5m for and 60L Fone Rocket (78kgs) for light conditions. I thought about the XL Sirus but I'm not sure how much fun a 1360mm wingspan would be winging. However, I maybe wrong. I'll let you know how the Sirus L goes.
this guy is using the Sabfoil Leviathan 1750 with the F-One Strike 8.0 at 85KG in kind of no wind.
here is a jibe

Cuve XXL-H and Sirus L are similar wingspan. Why did you choose Sirus?
I have a Sabfoil w1250 that I use for SUP foiling and lightwind winging. It's not high aspect, just large :-)
The front wings gives gradual lift for smooth take-offs at low speed. It accelerates well, but. the topspeed is limited. The w1350/1550/1750 won't be faster. There's something relaxing with the low wind, low speed cruising. But sometimes I wonder if there's not a faster foil, that lifts at low speeds.
the w1250 turns better than I expected as you can pivot (short turn) and carve (long turn and you'll have to follow the foil's path).
the width and (surface) size have a downside. With swell, chop and currents from different directions the ride can be bumpy as the foil reacts to all and that response it quit strong. A larger board will give you better leverage.
I was using the gong curve xlt with the old cwc 8m around 8nds. Tho it's a trade off the foil is slower and turn slower too.

Their new foils I have ordered..
Curve LH for wing
New Curve XL Prone foil
Sirus L to pump and tiny waves using a foil drive. I got the Sirus as it should give better glide.
For me the xxl-h is a foil for big big boys who want to wing in waves in light wind or sup foil in small waves. It's programme is turning on a wave. Sirus is a "Glider" with a higher aspect.
Dabfoil 1250 I have seen what it can do in light wind and was amazed. But buying full Sabfoil set is quite expensive.
Anyone tried Fanatic Aero 2400? It should be also light wind horse but much cheaper than Sabfoil.
Finally, I decided to go for Sabfoil w1250 as my light wind front wing. Also it will be my new experience with Sabfoil system as I never used it.
My decision was that with such width it still turns well as other alternative was around 140 cm width for me I think is too wide for windsurfing.
