I sail on SS 103W + ptm926 + wizard 114.
I can smoothly downwind 360, duck jibes, helitack in flight!, clue first and switch stance ride, and small waveride. Sails 3.4, 3.7, 4.2 (occasionally 4.7 is the big one in summer) What's next?
I also have a Slingshot Wizard 90l as a second/test board and it's great, but I'm thinking about changing the wing underwater for a faster and even more glide than the ptm926.
What wing do you propose?

The original PTM tail is quite slow and stable so you could look at that.
The new SAB Medusa would fit your fuselage and they look really awesome.

If I was riding like that I would definitely not change foils

I don't have the recording yet. This year I will record all my maneuvers and share them. I will create a new topic and we will post new maneuvers there.

Seconding Grantmac. I'm intrigued by the SAB Foil 799. Should be a bit quicker but still pretty lifty.

Seconding others - your skills on your current wing are enviable. Well done and inspiring.

Go with the G800 front wing and PS360 rear wing or PS340 Turbo rear wing

The G800 can handle much higher winds, it's very smooth at carving.

I lean towards the PS360 V tail because it keeps the pitch stability and it allows me to really carve hard, the PS340 Turbo is quicker and will make the foil more reactive.

Either the g800 or the ptm899, paired with the ps360 stab. Both have more range and better glide than the ptm926 while retaining the feel and stability. Both will give up a little bit on bottom end, but not much with good technique.

Even if you don't get a now front wing, get the ps360 stab. It pairs nicely with the ptm926.
