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.



Thanks for the feedback, what would you say is the low end? Would it take off in 11 knots at your weight?

Hey guys,
Anyone here riding the Razor 1077?
I've seen a few comments saying it has almost Leviathan-like lift and gets up ridiculously early for a 1077 cm² foil. Sounds almost too good to be true.
I'm currently on an old Gong Fluid V2 XXL and thinking about making the switch.
My biggest question is the takeoff. Will the 1077 get me up as early as the Fluid V2 XXL, or am I going to lose the low-end?
If you've ridden the 1077 (especially if you've come from a bigger foil), I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers!

Hey everyone,
Bit of a long shot, but has anyone here actually ridden the new NeilPryde Swift HA 1250?
I’ve been searching around and can’t really find any proper reviews or owner feedback.
I’m currently stuck between the Sabfoil Razor 1077 and the NeilPryde Swift HA 1250 and would love to hear from anyone who has tried either (or both).
Thanks

Got 5.5 / 4.5 / 3.5 / 3.0. Wondering if 3.0 and 3.5 is too close, doing the same job basically.

chatgpt did the math :

- 3.5 -> 3.0 = only ~2 kt difference
- 3.5 -> 2.5 = ~4-5 kt difference

2 kt is less than gusts on any normal day, so it feels redundant. 3.5 + 2.5 would actually cover different wind range?

Counter argument: at low wind tight gaps make sense (underpowered = no foil, you sink). At high wind underpowered just means less fun, still riding. So maybe 3.0+3.5 is not worth it?

Does anyone actually feel a difference between 3.0 and 3.5 on water? Should I sell the 3.0 and get 2.5 for storm days?

thanks
