Havent ridden it, but from the looks it seems a great light wind option. Probably similar league to the F-One Eagle V2 1090 I ride as a light wind foil. That thing gets me up in about 15 knots with 4.5 and 12 knots with 5.5 for my 100kgs. Its technique dependent though, it looks like a fast foil, and that requires efficient pumping to get it going. Once you're up it will not come down though.

I bought it to move into a more current design. I was on older Takoon ha foils. The 1077 with the integrated dw stab is very slippery and smooth. Very good low end and really good glide. I was hoping for a little more top end. For me at 100kg and powered up with okay technique I get to about 18 knots of board speed if I'm very focused. Relaxed about 16 knots. The stall characteristics and stall speed are very impressive.

Thanks for the feedback, what would you say is the low end? Would it take off in 11 knots at your weight?

Today was 11 knots breeze. 98 degrees Fahrenheit and fresh water. It got up but not great. Another knot or two or perhaps just a very steady 11 would be better. I'd hate to mislead you. That seems to be the edge.

Can add my 2 cents with impression on the 977 which is supposed to be a smaller version. I'm 80 kg, riding a KT SK2 104L board . gets up no problem in 13kts with a 5m wing, and I'm not really skilled - just some pumps or wait for the occasional bump to push you a little. I guess that with a similar setup I could get the 1077 in 11 kts or so.
Very much agree with Seastudent regarding the characteristics - great glide, turny for its size, easy to pump, excellent stall behavior, but not fast. if you're familiar with Gong, then a similarly sized veloce is quite a bit faster (at least the V3 - haven't tried older versions).
