I have 73 kg) 2025 7m Ventis dlab, foil big 110kg friends have 8m standard 2025 and dlab 2024.
They are excellent for light to medium wind eg 5kn to 20kn, amazing bottom end and stable more so than Units.
They are obviously heavier, however, fly in the slightest breeze.
Definitely worth having if you are chasing light wind.

There are only 2 "design" versions of the Ventis. the first version had the extra struts outboard, a bit like the F-one. The next version has the extra struts moved inward, to increase low end and power.

The latest model was just a handle/boom upgrade. No design change.

I don't know the model years of all the versions. Just look at where the extra struts were placed to know if you are getting the more powerful version.

Are you able to tell any difference between the 2024 and 2025 Ventis?

In theory the 2025 should have more low end however, its not obvious as both my 7m dlab 2025 and big friend's 8m 2024 both have similar wind range.
The dlabs however, do have noticeable better performance than the standard version.
