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!

I'm 65kg so I'm not going to annoy you with an answer. I will say that with the 725 wing (more analogous to your situation), I have to be planing to take off. I run the 1.0 shim with the mast base at 105cm from the front screw and the HGO 8 fwiw.
