In UK, 86kg, gybe with 4m V1. It was very well made, not the lightest but felt it would last longer than my lighter F-One . Good bottom end, pull in and smooth power delivery onto foil. Could be pumped up too. Comfortable going along. Looked exactly the same as Shinn Resurector. I bought new end of season UK for 50% discount, which was well worth it. At full price there were better performing wings, but not that much better.
At time wondered if large sizes might be too floppy though from V2 review reads tightened up. The boom was very long on shore but not noticed on water.
Cons - handles bit soft and kept grabbing wrong ones in gybes (I'm crap). Got a bit uncontrollable at its very top end (mates changed down from their 4m by then so windy). I sold as started going in stronger winds.
This review of 5m V2 (the V1 review was honest) indicates cons tackled foilshop.co.uk/hyde-blast-v2-wing-foil-wing-review/
