@KDW with the success of bigger and slower wings these days such as
AFS E1600
Code 1725S
Axis 1300v2 (1650 sqcm) and 1400v2 (1800 sqcm)
I would like to encourage you to release an Atlas 1600 with 11.2 (or a bit higher) AR. I love the Atlas 1340 for dockstars and very small downwind bumps as well as wake thieving. It’s an amazing blend of low end and glide and has turability like no other. It’s my go to foil where I live and only size down to the Atlas 960 when the bumps get bigger (which isn’t all that often here). An Atlas 1600 would both reduce energy needed to pump which would allow me to extend my flat water pumps and make the tiny little bumps (30 cm) I find my self out in even more enjoyable than the 1340.
With your work on the new Instinct 2000 I know you see the value in large foils. Lets extend that to the Atlas line!
I’m confident that the KT mast can handle the extra span okay, it might wobble a little at low speed but it will still be good.
