Hi, I have a friend who wants to get his first foil gear to start surf foiling. He found a great deal on a Hyper foil, but is it a good front wing to start surf foiling? I read a lot of positive reviews about this wing for wing foiling, but not much for surf foiling. ---

Possibly a little on the advanced side but if the deals really good (what is it?) I’d say go for it. What size and their weight though? ---

And whether it’s Hyper or Hyper2. H1 in larger sizes has low stall speed - 190 or 210 definitely works for learning. 170 possible too and 150 if he’s lightweight. No experience with H2. ---

There is not much info in selling post, but here is a picture of the pack and what it contains for 700 euros: ![Capture d’écran 2024-09-07 à 17.11.14](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/progressionproject/original/2X/b/bcf7fc18994f1cb8d1392022bfbfb3990cea77fd.jpeg) - 2 front wings: the Hyper 210 (1500cm²) and the Hyper 150 (900cm²) - Rear fuselage allowing 2 rear stabilizer options: the Carver 16’’ and the Progression 13.5 - 75 cm Unifoil Katana carbon mast - 65 cm aluminum mast I think my friend is around 178cm and 75kg, but athletic and good surfer ---

Buy it. Good starter pack. Good price. ---

Note that it looks like that is the old mast, not the thicker Katana. ---

That is hyper v1. The only valuable components in this package are the Katana mast and the progression tail. ---

depending on conditions 210 may be too big and 150 too small. quite the gap there. ---

I think he will mainly use the 210 for a while, the time for him to learn a good pumping, then he could buy a progression, or try the 150. ---

good starter setup, the mast is not a katana, but the alu mast will work better, and the package is good to get started and can be replaced incrementally
