I have a question for the wind foiling professionals. At the moment I am on IQ Foil material (board and foil, with the 115 fuselage). This is perfect for me due to great lift, which can also bring 100kg of weight up easily. The downside is, that IQ is made for going upwind and downwind. At crosswind I am overpowered quickly, but actually I would prefer going crosswind most of the time. So I could switch to slalom material (Patrick, Phantom e.g.). These are made for crosswind as far as I heard, but they do not provide the same amount of lift, right? They are also much quicker, which I also do not really want - IQ foil speed Is enough for me. So what options do I have?? Maybe somebody could also explain the differences between IQ and slalom... I only know that the slalom boards are a bit smaller, and slalom wings are also smaller.
