 |

Like the subject says, I'm looking for either an aftermarket or OEM larger front wing replacement on my '19 GT foil. I'm talking a 2000+ size one. I'm attaching a screen grab off SB site for reference. Thanks.

It's called a new SuperCruiser wing and fuse. 
Not aware of anything that's going to be close. Zulu make a big 1200cm high aspect wing that fits the SB race style fuse like pictured.

Largest OEM is, of course, the 1100 freeride.
Almost no foil makers mix and match their race fuse/wings with the surf style. The thick camber of a surf wing, the shorter, more turny surf fuse and the CoL of surf vs race all contribute. Sam Ross's new 2.0 foil vids show the difference between the Starboard race and SuperCruisers pretty well.
There may be someone in Europe who is doing total custom Starboard compatible surf wings that fit their race fuses but I haven't seen one.

The Zulu wing is completely flat and from the conversation I had with them it's not really a finished product.
Your best bet is an Ocean 2400 wing, Supercruiser fuselage and stab. No idea what that would cost.

| Two Star Board foil guys here both up graded to the super cruiser from the 800 front wing on the GT. Both are very happy with the low speed lift and the stability with the bigger wing. One of them has started trying the wing thing and wants to sell his Gt set up with both wings to get a huge foil for winging.

So my question is how many parts from my '19 GT foil are compatible with the '20 SuperCruiser? From comparing the two it seems like only the mast is compatible. Am I right?
At any rate let me get in touch with your foiling friend. Maybe I'll buy his SuperCruiser parts? I'll PM you my email and phone.

| The "big" wing that fits on the GT is 1100cm2, the smallest Supercruiser wing is 1300cm2.
