Thanks, that was really helpful. Looking at the chart for the last couple of sessions it looks like i can get going at a slower speed than early this year. take off seems to be around 6/7 mph. I need to buy a wind meter to keep with me and see how much wind i actually need to get to those speeds. Did the 1000 wing make a difference for you? Hopefully i can go out this week and try it out with the new straps position.

Hi, whats your average take off speed and minimum wind to get on the iq foils ? i am 100kg and need 12/13 mph wind speed and around 10 mph board speed to finally get on the foil. I usually start foiling earlier than the wingers but the kites start to get on the foils way before i can. no other IQ foilers in my area so a bit hard to compare.

iq board, foil 900 115+ carbon mast. 9.0 hgo. I have to check what spacer im using at the moment but i believe is the +0.5
Long Island NY.
Thanks!
