Has anyone spent time on both the F-One Sushi 720 and the SK8 850?👀
I’m using them for parawing and feel there’s quite a bit of overlap. The Sushi feels much more playful, whereas the SK8 feels a bit like a truck in comparison! I also find getting up and foiling harder on the SK8, which surprised me given its larger size.
The SK8 seems to glide a little better, but otherwise I’m struggling to find a reason to keep both.
For those who’ve ridden both, are there conditions where the SK8 850 really earns its place alongside the Sushi 720? Or did you find one pretty much replaced the other?
Cheers!

Glad to hear that you're pleased with the Sushi!
You can downsize 1 or even 2 sizes with the Sushi and have the same low end as a SK8 so it isn't surprising that your Sushi 740 gets you up more easily than the SK8 850.
A SK8 680 is a more likely comparison.
The Sushis roll so easily that most foils in comparison will feel "like a truck", even something as loose as a SK8.
I think that the SK8s still have their place for fast moving swells in order to match the speed, but I have yet to test a Sushi 620 and maybe that will change my mind.
