I started another thread on that question. Chopping mine soon so will see.

I received the HA925 yesterday and immediately headed for the lake to do some pulls behind my little boat. Wow, the hype is real. It turns beautifully and the pump and glide is unbelievable. On my very first pull I pumped around a small island then picked up the 3rd wake behind the boat on the other end. It is a tiny blade of a foil and you need to keep it up to speed or it'll drop out. At the end of the session I pumped down the 'no wake zone' channel back to the boat ramp, and pumped twice as far as I've ever gone! I can't wait to get this thing out in real surf and on the wing ding. I weigh about 70 kg FWIW. My mind is blown.

My set up was 60 CM mast, 50 cm fuse, V stab with red shim on a 4'-11" Armie 38 L prone board.

It's unbelievably how good this foil is. If I look like a stiff old man it's because I am!

1125 for sup foil dw, any review ?

I think you may be right about the shape/section making a difference. I have been told the stall speeds are similar but the stall is less abrupt with the 925.

So also got a 925 with my 4'5 armie board (see my in depth review on another thread) today from WA surf.

handed it over to the spono' rider antman (my son) on the second session (after using the board for first time) and he also gave a pretty detailed review.

"best wing ever".


so there you have it.


was slightly annoying watching him pump past me at speed to link up a wave i was heading for

Sick pics

How sweet is that having your son to ride with! If I read right, you said he linked 7 waves! Awesome?? Get some video of that ripper so we can learn something...

What's the pump difference between 925 and 1250 like ?

Well yes that would be nice man, but not everyone has your super duper drone - nice bit of kit that. Im generally in the water with him.

Kobo i was on the 1250 and he pumped past me like i was standing still, snaking all the link ups.

Well I'm around until the 17th before I head up to Exmouth so flick me a text if you wanna get some shots for the sponsors haha!

Okay will do. Antman would love another crack on your e foil board - keeps talking about it. And i say "get yourself a job if you want one". Bloody self entitled gen'.
How long you in exmouth? We are heading up there over the hols.

Love the controlled flex it soaks up turbulence and gives you a zip out of turns. Stiff setups feel dead like stiff surfboard fins.

I've ridden the same setups in stiff configurations vs flex. When pumping in chop the turbulence bends the mast, placing you out of column, forcing you to reset the next pump. On a wing like the 925 there's not much margin of error on that reset.

The stiff setup keeps you in column where you belong.

Hopefully i'm able to unload this thing. Happy to take a loss just to get rid of it.

Lots of people don't have the same issue. Not that that makes it right or wrong. Just like I would hate your gear. I got back on an Axis setup and found it heavy and dead feeling. It might be the weight and stability of a really heavy fuse you miss. Horses for courses.

First rides on a 925/72/60/232 today. (95kgs, waist high waves today) Wing size was fine did a couple of doubles and tripples but the mast flex and Mast Fuse Wing connection movement was a deal breaker. Constantly rattled by the flex in the turns and pumping in chop. Its a deal breaker. I'm done with it. Anyone in the US wants a gently used 925 complete DM me.

Id give it a few more cracks. I was all at sea (pardon the pun) my first session - and im on an even more flexible 85 mast and a bloody V tail. It was like tripping on acid. Second session started to work out its characteristics.

i then chopped my tips on the V tail - eliminated some.


and yesterday i rode it with a larger flat thin back tail. Even better but drag was apparent.

also pushed it hell far forward (8 ) on the new FG 4'5 prone. Even better.

turned a red plus one shim around to make a minus 1 and whacked the chopped V tail on a zero shim (making minus 1 on the old system) - even better


that being said my son went the other way and went all the way back to 1.5 - felt better for him.

Message is i suppose give it a few cracks again and try to tune and adjust technique - then it comes alive. Its a technical wing until it isnt.

went back out on my 1250 and that felt as dead as a dead dog. its addictive as.


flex is a personal preference thing. I got back on an alloy axis setup the other day, the black series is really sweet actually but felt really dead for me.


Ive seen guys ripping on all different armie wings, axis gear, takuma, lift.. Find ya slot.

Just had my second session on 925/50/v200/0. I am stoked , this wing is so fast, turns at will ,and pumps as good as the 1125 just faster. It took me several moves of the mast to find even front foot pressure and now it feels perfectly balance. I always had to ride the 1125 right at the back of the tracks because it creates a fair amount of lift at speed , whereas the 925 gives you room to move which is nice. I'm 80 kg and feel this is the Goldilocks size for me in medium to larger waves for sure, but surprisingly it goes great in the small stuff too. I thought the pump would be down compared to the 1125 but to my surprise it is as good just a little different, slightly quicker pumps but definitely faster so you cover the same ground just quicker. I'm keeping the 1125 for small days and DW but the 925 is an absolute cracker of a setup for prone surfing.

Dude where did your mast end up in the end, relative to the 1125 all the way back??




To support what you said above, been chipping into small stuff id ride the 1250 and pumping out to a small wave. I havent found it lacking in the small stuff at all.
