Tried yesterday… hardest part drive and try get up with little wind you need third hand )

Very similar to my super k which I absolutely love.

interesting idea. I've an efoil and plan to start wing foiling next summer. I'll have to try that.

Im 100kg riding 80l standard shape board was thinking of 95l lasercraft. What do you think?

Do you think as a noob I could get up on this board, and does it work well in normal conditions?

I love the knee and ankle brace, me too im a lot older but still out riding as much as possible. Larry

Looks like a nice KT Super K copy. even the colors are the same 😅

Nice review !! Love board!

Hello ! Thanks for such a cool review. You don't give any information about the weight and the construction ? Really important for such a big toy ? :)

I'm using the same board and foil, different mast and stab. I feel like the thickness of the board took a little getting used to while riding, maybe more so than the length and width. It's certainly different than a Wing or Flow Craft, anyway!

Looks good! You never really seemed to struggle getting the Wingcraft going with that foil and wing. How much easier would you guess is it to foil? 5% , 15%. 50%? Just curious if it will replace your Wingcraft?

Very nice review. I am a beginner wingfoiler 200 lbs using 140 lt. board with 92 cm mast PFI928. Now consistently foiling at the stage of learning jibe. I watched your other nice review on 899 vs G900. Would you recommend PTM999, G900 or E1090 for this transition?

I tried and when I turned on the motor, the wing kept turning over. As if the speed changed the apparent wind direction - just guessing. Do you know what is wrong? Maybe to turn the board upwind, but it is a problem to do because for that I have to use the wing and keep weight in the back, but when turning the motor , there is a need to go forward to compensate.

Any insider info on the onelock system? I’ve been spamming slingshots social media asking if they will continue to support windfoiling but radio silence

Thanks for sharing, what’s your full foil set up and how do you compare the 999 to theG1000? Cheers.

I've been using the 999 exclusively most of this season, great foil. Currently with 400 stab and -1.5 shim. I need to try my buddy's 899, though. He's also loving his NXTs, but I might stick with the regular V5s for next season, just due to cost. I'll get the uni handles, though.

Hi, I'm 100kg and foiled a few sessions. I can go upwind, ride foil all the time and am starting to gibe now. I bought a Wing Craft 120liter and a 5M2 V3, now i only need a foil (and love the Slingshot lineup). The recomendation from SLINGSHOT site is the G 800 and G900 (considering i'm above 80kg). I was thinking about the G1000 or G1007 (becouse i'm alot above 80kg). I love to Wing with 10kn-16kn on the lake, but like the waveriding i see in Video's too (and we live next to the sea), so that would be the future. I'm a fast learner (always did watersports and skateboarding). Problem is, money is tight and want to buy something, and not regret it afterwards. Can you recoment something???

A friend is using his new 5.0 V5, we both also have V4s. How do you feel about the rigid surf handle? He's not so sure about it.

having now spent some time on v4 alula and v5 standard, what are you using the most or are you having a significant preference for either of them? Of course it could matter that you only have certain size ie 5.5 for light wind in alula and v5 in other.. ie what is your current go to favorite?

Hi, great review! I´m 147 pounds, you think this is a good board to learn Wingfoil for first time? Thanks! I've been doing kitesurf since year 2000.

Is there continue to this? I am now will try foil-assist to help me learn winging

Very nice ❤ What is mounted underneath and what mast position you riding it?

Does the uni handle fit the V4 ?

nice

I think some questions many people will have are: Are they worth close to double the cost of a V4 or V5 wing? Lighter and stiffer, yes, but are they also more durable? Would they allow me to reduce the size of my quiver, say from three to two? Maybe greatest benefit for your largest size, lightest wind, only? How about repairs? I haven't tried any of the Alula wings or kites yet myself, looking forward to it.

I'm glad you're back, awesome review.

This was a very good review of the wing as a bonus. It looked nice and tight and well balanced.

I'm 82kg and had sold my G 1000 after switching to the 900, I just didn't like how slow it was in roll (although I only used it with a PS 400). After riding the 900 for awhile, I switched to the PS 360 and was happy with that combo. Once I was able to get the 999, haven't gone back. It's a little slower in roll, but more pitch sensitive, faster, and pops up earlier. I damaged my PS 360 and went back to the 400, adding a -1deg shim. That works pretty well, but I may try chopping the winglets off next. I've also just changed from a 90L WC V2 to a slightly longer and narrower 80L board. I don't think the very short and wide boards are the way forward, and am looking forward to Slingshot's next offerings, hopefully they'll show them at AWSI here in a couple of weeks. Keep up these reviews, and thanks!

Great video as usual. Living in the Midwest I do a lot of light wind winging it's all I've got! I'm finding as I improve I can get going in 8 to 9 knots but there are of course big holes in the wind inland. So I can pump the board and pump the wing but eventually one just comes off the foil. Am I right in thinking that you have the same issue here - eventually you run out of apparent wind if it's very light? In essence for consistent very light wind once your up foil drive you can keep going but in very spotty wind with big holes one might not get much advantage - foil drive will help getting on foil but it won't help staying on foil?

Great video: your skills are impressive

Good vid. It’s encouraging to know I don’t necessarily need to go out and buy the latest foil specific sails!

Great video. I just bought a FD and am a total wing foiling beginner and hope it will steepen the curve for me.

Geat video as always. I just upgraded from my Hoverglide to Phantasm G1007 and PTM 930 - very economical way to get a higher end set up! Love the new wings and the stabs. Where do you guys launch for flat water I'm going to be in Orlando soon and I think you are near there?

Great video thanks! I’m also using Foil Drive Assist for hybrid wing foiling now. I can get going while others are waiting for a bigger gust. However, I can’t maintain flight with just wind at even 10 mph. I can hybrid ride with low power but if I turn it off I come off foil. Any suggestions?

Always a good day on Slingshot gear

amazingly coooool! thank you for sharing!

Great video, have you compared these two wings on your Windfoil? Any comments?

Was this the right sail size for the conditions or were u underpowered?

horrible music.

That is impressive and encouraging at the same time. I’ve been doing kite surfing since 2003 and two months ago I bought a 98L 5”4 board, a x1,600 foil (70cm mast) and a4.5m wing. I’m 163 pounds and cannot get on foil in my first two sessions. I was really frustrated, one of my friends gave me his 6.0m wing and a 118L / 5”10 board and I got on foil almost immediately. Second session with the big wing I was riding both ways. Next session it was 17 to 22 knots and I decided to use my 4.5 meter wing and my board. I got on foil twice briefly and cannot get on foil again so I ended up exhausted. The very next day it was 19 to 23 knots and again cannot get on foil until I use my friends 5.5 meter. I know I’m learning but is frustrating to think that I will need tons of wind to do this, with this video I know that I’m just a kook 😂😂😂. By the way I live in Puerto Rico and usually is windy all year round but since I bought the wing gear it has been terrible!! Rain and no wind, or you have a brief period of wind in the morning and then at 10 to 11am the wind dies which is very strange. Anyway, thanks for the video. Can’t wait to have wind to keep this journey.

Thanks for the reviews! Re: lightwind, are you able to say about how much lighter you can go with various front wings? I have ptm1001 and ptm926, but am looking at 899 and wondering how much low end it gives up compared to the other two ... 2 mph, 5mph in more windspeed needed? Similarly, how much is gained from the g1000?

Great video thanks! How is the 899 compared to the G700? Do you think you could kite on the 899?

I'm waiting for a 2nd hand FDA, so am interested to know how you manage to hold onto the strap/boom with the same hand as you hold the controller? It's not really clear in the video, so I'm trying to anticipate what I'll have to do. Thanks.

Would it be easier with a bigger front foil wing?

How Big is your front Wing?

Thanks for posting this I was wondering when someone would try it. So what do you think was more fun wind foil or wing foil with foil drive assist? Seems like both get going in super light winds. I’m wondering if on those really light days having the rig etc might make it easier to float around and get back if the battery ran down? Great stuff!

That looked like a very nicely balanced combo. You gotta love the bonus session .

Hey Dean, What is the mast position when using the PTM899, relative to the G900. While foiling, I got the impression that at higher speeds my front foot pressure really had to increase to keep the foil in the water. I do use my front footstraps, so putting my front foot further forward is difficult. Do you change the mast position when changing the foil and if yes, how? Greetings, Frans (PS: I have both foils, de 82 cm carbon mast and de 90 wingcraft V2)

Dean, great to see how that performs. I'm not sure if Iunderstood correct: you launched = got up on the foil flying, in 7-9 mph / 6-8 knots? I have also the same combination 899 v360 and thinking all time ifI need a low wind front winh or not like the g1007. You have both ones. How big is the low end difference out of your experience? The 899 is more fun and has a much more better glide out of my experience. But I had the g1007 only tested for 10 mind from a friend. Low end of 899 is better more back?
