Front wing hall of fame

wings I’ve used that I would nominate:
Takuma 1210 - perfect in just about every way
Axis ART 999 - specialty wing, but really good at what it does

wings I haven’t used, but belong:
Signature Albatross - way ahead of its time and arguably still relevant

Gofoil Kai and Iwa
SPG albatross
Kujira 980 and 1210
Lift 110, 120
Axis ART 999 and pro 1201
Progression 140

If the foil hasn’t been featured on @foiled again, it does not deserve to be in the hall of fame.

You are all forgetting the original Unifoil Hypers. Doing high aspect well before anyone.

In their day the Kujira 980 & 1210 were superstars :star_struck:

That’s what the signature albatross was.

Kujira 1210 and 1095

Yes but Unifoil created it.

this is awesome i didnt realise there’d be so many votes. keep them coming ill tally them up. few front runners have pulled away from the rest. might try get this poll to a wider audience

Definitely do a Hall of Shame next!

Kujira 980
Kujira 1440 for DW

This thread needs some color, so how about going back a few decades? Mike Murphy comes to mind, and the Sky Ski that superseded the Air Chair and was solid (heavy) construction. My friend Bob Garlick shown here started foiling in 1989!

OG Hyper 190 - holy shit we can pump
1210 and 980 - we can pump and turn
Lift 120 - you don’t have to have a big wing. Taught us the v2 of lift equation. A bit faster is a lot of lift.

Should also include the GC 1250. Probably the first mid aspect surf foil.

Liquid Force Impluse which is Cloud 9 originally along with Moses (Subfoil) 633 as they were the first low aspect large area surf wings to be kitefoiled by the masses, very high numbers. Before that kite foilers were using small wings only.

forgive my ignorance which brand is the GC1250?

Signature game changer. An overlooked foil. So not a hall of fame foil necessarily.

Hall of fame is for the stand outs.

My votes:
GoFoil Iwa
Lift 120

I think the Uni Progressions will be future hall of famers.
