I have a SAB 940 front wing (1100 area, T8 connection to fuselage). I would like to get something smaller for higher wind - 15/16 knots and higher. My favorite type of windfoiling is downwinding in swells. I have looked at the SAB website but it is a bit overwhelming with all the choices. Any suggestions?

The balz pro works well, both 909 and 969 depending on how fast a wing u need
the razor use another fuse but is very popular for that purpose

Hard to go wrong with 909. Razor might be faster but unless you are riding macking ground swells, I don't think you need the speed of the razor. Also the 909 has an excellent low end for a quickish foil

909 and consider whether you want to try one of the flat tails if you aren't already.

My 940 is 1100cm. The 909 is 1000. Will I see a big performance difference?

I have used the Medusa Pro 869 for the last 2 years as a one foil quiver.
However, recently I have been using the Balz 808. The 808 has slightly less low end lift but has a higher top end speed and is less nervous when you are maxing it.
The Sabfoil website has a compare feature where you can compare different foils - unfortunately the 940 is not longer listed but you can compare the current range.

If you look at how much less volume the Balz series have for their area that gives you an idea of how much thinner they are. The root is the same thickness but the tips are far thinner and it's notably faster without being a difficult foil to use.

What size sails are you using with the 808 and what wind strength?
