Looking for a light wind session saver, and gusty days with big lulls and small bumps to ride.
I got EVO HA 1000:
+ good low end and stall speed
+ turns much better than expected
- cross-shop sets in a roll into unwanted direction.
Would Silk V2 1150 work as early and easier to control?

I haven’t ridden the Evo ha but I have had a lot of sessions on the s1150 as a lightwind parawing session saver and I love it. Super low stall speed, turns just like the smaller silks, feels very nimble for its size. The one knock on it is that it’s definitely on the slow side. Tail selection can speed it up to some degree but if the bumps have speed and also lack steepness it’s not really the tool.

I am really liking it with the USurf 150. I did order the new titanium fuselage as I believe the new fuse geometry will make it even better but will have to report back on that. Has great low end and can still rip turns. I personally just prefer surf foils over gliders. Small waves it’s even more fun as you can ping pong around.
Long video if you like to watch it in action:

One thing to be aware of with the titanium fuselage is the tail mounting area is flattened by approx 1/2 a degree by my measurements. You may need to rethink your shimming options to get a similar feel to the carbon fuselage.

A comparison between the Ti fuse and the carbon short.
The Ti is the same length with the mast moved back approx 2cm.
