Although it may seem strange, it's incredibly good for taking off in very light winds (today I foiled in 7-8 knots with the Fringe 4.7) and comfortably handles winds of up to 12-14 knots.
I'd say the hardest part is learning to gybe very slow on a wing with such a wide span and area. It's essential to gybe wide and without leaning the board too much to maintain control, and above all, you have to maintain balance when performing the entire maneuver at very low speed. The wing has incredible lift, and even in very light winds, you usually end the gybe almost static in the air but you just need to pump the foil and sail again to keep flying.
It's very helpful to do everything with a board with a wide tail and short span like the Wizard 103. All the volume is concentrated under your feet, making it a spacious dance floor that makes everything easier. I've tested the 1250 with the Slingshot Freestyle 115 and while it takes off in less wind but, the extra length and narrow tail make it much more difficult.
Gybing when flying at higher speed is much easier
Do you use the Slingshot Phantasm fuselage for the Sabfoil 1250 or a Sabfoil fuselage ?
Never had problems with the connection of the Sabfoil on the Phantasm fuselage : broken or bend screws.
Are you using M6 with conical washers or did you drill the Phantasm fuselage to
M8 ?
