When i tried it years ago i did use the oldschool thick and low aspect foils like Moses 873 or Slingshot Infinity 84. Would it help to try it now with modern foils like a KT Atlas 1340 or Nomad 1160 or are these modern wings not a good match for such old shapes?

What foils do you have now? I would say to ride what you are used to. It would also depend a little on the conditions you plan on trying to ride in.

Right now i have a Duotone AMP 2145 for practising boosted paddleups and pumping and super lightwind winging (where it sucks for turning and speed), it's about to be sold. Mainly for winging i use French Aeromod Foils with midaspect wings from 1240 to 850. The 1240 is has a 102cm span. These are nice wings which served me very well for the last years, but i'm about to sell them anyway and have a set of KT foil + wings on order. The Nomad 1160 is already ordered and i was thinking of maybe getting the Atlas 1340 if reasonable for supfoiling.

Does anyone still use the Supfoil boards from around 2020? Wider Stubby shapes in th 7' - 8' range?
Or even the crossover, 4 in 1 etc. named boards from back then?
I had such a board some years ago (F-One Papenoo custom) supsurfing and windfoiling it and also learning winging on it and even trying supfoiling, but with no big success back then.
I moved on to dedicated wing und supsurf boards and later on to a DW inflatable (Gong NOTW 8'3) but i can't stand on this thing if the water isn't totally flat (me 95 kg), also i had no success doing flatwater paddle ups, only when used with a Stoke Foilboost i was able to fly and pump a little. For winging i found the Gong NOTW far inferior to my 6'1 x 22 wing hardboard custom, without any benefit in light winds, so i'm about to sell it.
Right now i see a lot of these crossover, 4 in 1 etc. boards really cheap for sale on the used gear platforms and i like the thought that i could even use some of them that have windsurfing mastbase inserts to complement my wavesailing board for float and ride sessions in light winds.
But are these boards any good for supfoiling? In the older YT videos the guys ripped on them, so they shouldn't be too bad (No DW use intended).
