Just measured my GoFoil with GL140 front wing. Measurements are on the centre lines as both stabs sweep back. From trailing edge of front wing to leading edge of stab:-
Pedestal with narrow stab 55.6cm.
M200 stab 50.4cm.
Hope that helps??

The fuselage length from front to back is 615mm but from where the wings or pedestals start the in between length is 380mm

The rear tail wing options from Kai, Maliko, top (current) mount pedestal and soon short bottom mount pedestals all vary in length from where they meet flush with the fuselage and the back of the wing or pedestal.
Same goes with the front wings. I measured every wing & pedestal I have. See below.

Thanks pohaku. At the moment I have the Maliko 280, 200 & IWA but am about to upgrade to the GL range. Would you say I could get away with having just the Gl 240 and 180 and not bother with the 210? Useage - mostly with wind wings, mostly light winds, mostly wind swell, sometimes downwinding, sometimes small to medium waves.

Nice one, yeah so the 180 and 210 are very similar but the 210 has a wider chord and thicker leading edge.
if you are hoping to get two I would go 180 & 240 that way you have 240 for the less windy or smaller days then the 180 for more wind or more swell.
the weights for each wing are:
GL180 0.80kg.
GL210 0.91kg.
GL240 1.40kg

What about the P180 ? Is it the wing James Caseu used for the 12towers race ?

Keep hoping on this thread that I will see some some chatter on a new GF hybrid between the older Iwa Maliko series and the GL series kinda little of both as for me I was not a huge fan of the GL series in the waves maybe my weight 225 as for my style I'd blow/breach the GL210 wing too easy on carving cutbacks as opposed to the old Iwa my favorite to this day much prefer older LA wings in the waves love to see a hybrid of the 2 as the one aspect I did like of the GL was it's smooth speed and minimal drag.Sure would like to see a combo of both wings attributes kinda like the new MHL HA surf wings GF style! especially for us larger riders.Im probably one of the oddballs that didn't like the the GL series as they we're most every GF rider cats meow but for me much prefer the older wings especially in larger head high surf.keeping my fingers crossed one of the days

what tail were you using with the GL210? That could be the issue. I haven't heard anyone else who prefers the IWA over the GL series

like I said guess I'm the oddball in the bunch Lol,I was using the 18w which I also did not care for either,and the Maliko regular rear and a cutdown Maliko rear just was not my style the GL too flat, don't get me wrong great for pumping 2 for ones and good speed no doubt but for my style and weight missed the mark for me, I can carve much better with old school wings go figure, actually heard a few riders have similar thoughts on the GL,actually selling my GL 240 & 210 being eyeing the Armies, but hoping GF comes up with a revised upgraded V2 GL series especially the bigger sizes for HWs good luck eh!

I used the new GoFoil P180 wing the other day. Sooo much lift, great speed, doesn't turn like the GL but linking swells and effortless pump was amazing. Perfect for Aussie downwinders.

I'm no expert by a million miles, but I've used the Gl 240 & 180 with the 18W tail stab AND the maliko tail - the difference is unbelievable. The 18W is designed for speed & glide, but provides nearly no grip for turns - its so skatey. I hated it at first but have learnt to like it and now know where it performs well and when to use a different tail. Its great for flat water pumping and downwinders. I can use it for wind winging but prefer not to. The malilko tail gives far more stability but has so much more drag it kills a lot of speed. Although I haven't used it yet I have ordered a 12.5" tail stab with the upturned wing tips. From what I've heard this should be the perfect compromise of speed and grip (drive) for turns. At least I hope so. I expect to use this tail stab for surfing and freestyle with the wind wing, probably keeping the 18W for downwinding.

I saw one in the water. To my untrained eye. It is fast and turns good. The guy was having a good time. That's all I've got. Has anyone publicly spoken about them besides an instagram post that got pulled down?

This is what I've found so far:

GoFoil does wingtips!!!!! Supposedly better lift and faster than the equivalent GL sizes. Having just bought a GL240 & 180 i'm a bit gutted, but I expect it'll take a year or so for them to be widely available.
