Thanks for the replies all. Helpful for me to consider before the lakes melt!

I am going to buy a foil this spring to mount to my Starboard Ultrasonic 147 from a few years ago (deep-tuttle box).

I have 7.5 Lion, 6.4 Goya Nexus and 5.4 Goya Nexus sails to use with it (might g ...

Depends on whether you are planning a quiver (which I never really did) or are just looking for the best sails to pair with your board and what you are looking to do. 7.0 to 8.0 is a sweet spot for t ...

If you haven't bought all this stuff yet and your venue is conducive to it I'd get a foil instead. It will be cheaper - unless you're buying used.

Get a 9.5 retro or Lion. Get a 100% mast for absolute sure or don't bother with the big sail. It makes such a big difference. I purchased my KA 490 from windsurfdeal.com. Great mast and super-light ...

With the 12 I can pump to plane occasionally in 7-8 in small gusts but it is more slogging than planing. I might get a knot lower with a 65-70cm fin but I'm using a weed fin. My visual threshold is ...

My Ezzy 9.5M Lion is my most used sail here in the Midwest. Now I wish I could use my 5.4 all the time but it isn't reality. I could go for a foil but we have weeds and shallow lakes so that isn't t ...

Right. I'm aware of Cobra - I know nothing of the business and am thankful for the great designs coming out despite what I imagine to be a hard slog to profitability. Godspeed windsurfing equipment ...

Thanks for the review. I assumed the Zeta was a rebranded Tiger. Sounds like it is a more freeride oriented sail than the tiger.

The bell-curve will rule as it must. Most sails will be good, but ...

Of course these companies need to sell boards to survive and make a profit. As a windsurfing lover and someone who has purchased a handful of boards new I have no problem with this. My guess is that ...
