any one know of any new wind foil developments of a one single front wing, mast fuse and stab that can lift and fly at 10 knots and give control and speed at 30 plus knots with one foil board and limited couple sails just interested if there are new new wind foil developments (and not wingding)

30kts wind or 30kts of speed?

It's called IQ foil. Not new, but that's what it can "cover", with one sail rather than two to boot.

yeah, you need to be a pro athlete to get 30knots out of it, but thats what comes with covering that kind of ground. Alternatively, and for a more mortal option, my mate has done 30knots on his Patrik Aeon foil. No doubt he could get it going in 10 knots too if he'd bother trying. But unless you go the IQ foil, and get really good, I think having a foil capable of doing both involves changing wings and sail sizes.

O am interested in a one board sail and foil for general upwind and downwind free race - probably some out of date race stuff would do or IQ ?

iQ is of course a good allround set up but is by now a bit dated. New foils have better, and more accessible performance, even without having to resort to the latest and greatest. For a more allround experience I would also favor a board in the current PWA range (85cm wide), which is still plenty wide for doing some up/down wind sailing but is much more manageable on a reach.

Just to say: while iQ is still a valid choice, there are other, and in my view, better options out there.

Well I've gone mad and ordered a Patrick aeon foil not a do it all foil but think it's going be fun trying to make it work as all rounder 😁

It's going to be a walk in the park. Even the AIO, which I have, is a huge upgrade in ease of use over the IQ stuff.

I'm starting with the M95 mast v2 fuse and M750 wing and 195 stab with a M650 wing to follow , happy days to come 😊

enjoy the ride 😎

Yeah it's going to be interesting how it compares to my older sabfoil quiver

BALZ Pro wings, especially the 909
for freeride or swell u can go as u say with a quiver 3.3-4.8, I do it all the time, it’s a one wing quiver

allthough i prefer the 969 in 4.8 wether
rarely ever use the 5.2 unless i chase speed in light winds

these wings have a terrific design, very open ended top speed and marginal pitch issues
