Interesting to hear about your experience with the 707. Today I had the best windfoil session of my life. So good that I almost think I might never windsurf again.
I was on the 808 with the 370 stabilizer and had amazing rides in wind swell. I used my 3.3 sail, which really is the key to good wave windfoiling with a small sail.
Great speed, solid turning, and some epic hits off the lip (goiter, kono).

I also tried the Reverse 375 stabilizer, but I didn’t like it. It felt slow to get into flight mode, and the board didn’t fly evenly, I had to shift my weight back too much. So that stab is going up for sale :)
After that I tried the 325 stabilizer, and wow, that’s a really good combo with the 808. I’m now thinking of buying the 93 cm mast, because I believe it will give me even more of everything.

Thanks. It seems like a short time, but I have around 70 windfoil days since April 2025 and I've been wave windsurfing in Varberg, Sweden, since 2006. So the step to windfoiling was pretty easy for me. But I understand why people struggle. The balance, timing and gear can be difficult ( if you even find something to buy nowadays). No wonder many choose the easier path and go wingfoiling instead. I'm not a quitter though. Windfoiling is a hidden gem, an unpolished diamond. We just need to keep exploring the possibilities together and inspire each other.

This is what inspired me.

Hi. The setup for that day:
Severne Predator 110
Sabfoil BALZ PRO set
Front wing 969
Flat stab 370
Mast 83 cm
Fuselage 90 cm
Severne FoilFreek 4.4
Severne Enigma 140–190 cm
Severne Blue 400
RDM Severne Cyclops Carbon 24 cm
Severne Harness Lines 32"

I have the BALZ PRO 969, 909, and 808, and I love them all.
The 969 is great in lighter winds and has a nice glide in slower waves.
The 909 is faster and better for jumping.
I’ve been struggling with backloops (the real backloop, not the freestyle backloops you can do on flat water—the one where you go straight up, pause, rotate, and then come straight down) with both the 969 and the 909.
Recently, I started using the 808 together with my 3.3 sail, and that has been a game changer. Now we’re talking about proper jumping and fast wave riding. I’m making great progress with the 808, and it feels like it’s only a matter of time before real backloops are in the bag.

The predator 110 is to big in waves. To long, to much volume. I have the Predator 95 incoming (shipping from Asia). That will also help in backloops and waveriding.
