I am trying to decide between these two wings for my next purchase. I am a beginner(couple years into the journey) currently riding a 960R using foildrive for assist with shorter downwind runs. Hoping to learn with the foildrive and transition to paddle eventually.
I weigh around 180lbs, reasonably athletic but not getting any younger.
Any thoughts?
I donʻt downwind, but Iʻve SUPed the 1130s in the surf. Iʻm by no means a SUP foiler, but it seems to me the 1130s is going to be the more forgiving option when you switch to the bigger board. Also, thereʻs a guy by me that SUPs the 1300s with a foil drive. He has the controller on the end of his paddle and he rips. Heʻs well over 200lb, so 1130s might be a good fit.
1130 is a gold in the line up. You can take it in 4-6ft swell and ride it no problem. Anything above that is 980.
