I'm a beginner 80kg surf sup kook and don't ask me about the gofoil performance at this stage I have no idea and everything at the moment is a blur and I feel like 7ft tall on it with multiple stacks, cuts, and bruises. Let's just say I feel like a clown in the surf

I got the IWA front wing, Maliko and Kai rear wing with 28.5" Plate Mast and weight around 4kg.
This foil is solid after a reef hit and sand bar friendly exchanges.
The designed assembly is well thought with the mast and fuselage is one piece, the front and rear wing square connection to the fuselage is cleaver and the screws to lock both wings. It's easy to assemble and disassemble, just need a rubber mallet and a screwdriver. Others have too many bolts and connections which create weakness and you have to make sure not to over tighten the bolts or not enough and you feel the slack and that loose feeling in the surf and the return trip to the car park sux.

just added M200 into my GF collection. I must say I'm doing everything backwards interms of learning the hardway, meaining going small to big board and foil and no mates to give sheeeeet advise and no boat towing but just paddle and hope for the best. Trying to keep it safe because foiling is really danderous. Wear a leash, helmet and wetsuit because it saved me from searious injury, just a few bruses physically and mental ego. So far I snap/cut a leash swam for ages and lucky it was a sand surf beach and the board/foil was fine except for my lung was about to explode. A foil board box crack from crashes but found out the foil board was a lemon which was replaced. The M200 pair with maliko tail is stable as expected and good to learn. I will get back to iwa front wing someday. Looking forward to the new GF GL wings and wingsurf oneday also
