New Naish S26 in store now and on demo in 6m. Haven't had time to try myself but hopefully this week.

My 6m ENSIS pulls like a truck

Think light. First, it's big so heavy anyway. Second, you're not going to use it in heavy winds so go light. Third, you might end up holding it more if you are testing the low end of the range.

6 M SMIK light wave wing,

Smik is Smik

any experience with the starboard freewing at 6m ?

100% 6.4m V2 Slingshot. Have tried others but it's low end is awesome, small wingspan and is v. light. Use it 8 to 15 knots then my awesome little 4m Takoon takes over..

Thank you for all the reply's and time put in

To many choices,not enough money ??

We have no real outlets here selling foil gear,so very difficult to try.

Thats the reason I seek advice on Seabreeze,read what other people say then try and make an informed decision.

Heaps of good wings now on the market but in the bigger sizes I have felt some good and some pretty average. I won't say what ones are what as we have our own wings arriving this week finally so can be called one sided if someone does not like me saying something bad about a wing they ride. I will say on the bigger wings the two things I look at is how heavy it is to fly as some are super heavy on the arms and making sure the wing tips don't grab the water which with the bigger wings and lighter winds becomes more of a problem.

Price wise some of the new wings prices are stupid so recommend looking around.

PPC 5.8 is awesome

SMIK 6m is an amazing wing. Floats well and has a massive range, exceptionally light. PPC is good if you want build quality, power and upwind ability. Lots of good wings out there, demo if you can.

5.5 Armstrong will pull as hard as many 6m

I agree w the above. We put a 5.2 Ensis over the 5.0 Swing, 5.0 Strike and a 6.0 Cabrinha.
Someone's math is off .5+ sq mt's and it wasn't because of different aspect ratios. I recommend watching the Supboard Mag review, they did a great job. Obviously if you're like me, I want my 6.0 to be a powerhouse.

So you already winging. I guess you want a 6 to have more speed in light wind for transition etc, I'll do the same soon. What I can say is just don't pick a random brand, check what you have and make a choice that will give you what you want as a step-up size. I've measured a few 6.0 one over the other...some 6 has at least 0.5 and more than other 6.0, meaning, depending of your 5.0 wing...and the next 6 you will purchase, you can have not much of a gain...or a big gain! ;-)

good call, as the Cabrinha have issues with their solid handle.
