Hanging on the net found a Sab foil kit (W1100/483/70 cm hs/93 cm mast plate base).
For beginner at 180cm/80kg what could be the use and wind range?
Board and wing size to fit with?

P. S. Is it an easy foil to start with and handle?

Great foil to learn on. Get a decent size board mate at least 110L.

Got a chat with a some of the locals. They're level is just average (the sport is new in our regioun and transition from other water sports has been slow). Some of those guys got the chance to test some sort of Sab (to be honest i've not yet figured which) and they say this was slow to get up and going (compared to RRD or fanatic) and a bit unstable. No idea if their report might be reliable but that's what i've got when asked. So, please, may be a reason for those comments? Something wrong with tuning? Or this foil is really not plug&play for avg level people?

What kind of wing i should get to start? From what i've read i should stay around 5 mq but there are really many many brands and models. Easy access to takuma wk 900, tahe alize, sic raptor. But no pb to consider any other stuff. First goal starting and progressing as soon as possible. Later i will see the direction to evolve towards.

Being a windsurfer since long i'm not afraid with rigid boards. Would like to avoid inflatable ones. Still easy access to takuma, sic, tahe....

Exactly as @ZeeGerman said above.

The w1100 / s483 combo is perfect for learning. And later, once already at "pro level", it will be a killer front wing for these desperate light wind days, given that you would use it with a smaller stabiliser.

BTW, @w100, the foils do not have a wind range. They just have different speed range where they are the most comfortable and easy to use. That said, the w1100 is not a slow foil at all. What limits the upper speed range of the w1100/s483 combo a bit is the stabiliser. But using a big stabiliser like s483 is the way to go while learning. As the name says - this is that makes the foil stable.

And there is nothing wrong with riding a bigger foil with a small wing in strong winds, I'd even say that it's the best way how to progress to small boards. All kind of crazy looking combinations can work just fine, at least I was comfortable with a 40 litres board after one month of wing foiling, with this foil in the beginning.

Happy learning and discovering!

They have really sharp edges.

They do. You shouldn't poke them through your wing.
I've met people who cut those sharp tipps into a round shape. They claim it makes it a better foil that doesn't lose much low end but can be turned in amor variable manner. They apparently feel more like a 999 then.
