Today was 11 knots breeze. 98 degrees Fahrenheit and fresh water. It got up but not great. Another knot or two or perhaps just a very steady 11 would be better. I'd hate to mislead you. That seems to be the edge.

It will . It likes quick shallow pumps. It might take a few to get going.

I bought it to move into a more current design. I was on older Takoon ha foils. The 1077 with the integrated dw stab is very slippery and smooth. Very good low end and really good glide. I was hoping for a little more top end. For me at 100kg and powered up with okay technique I get to about 18 knots of board speed if I'm very focused. Relaxed about 16 knots. The stall characteristics and stall speed are very impressive.
