Having tried this set up at the Worthing Watersports Demo day earlier this year, I knew after an hour on the 1200/S210 set, I needed this foil set to slot in between my Carve 2.0 & Glide foils.
I've now logged a days wing foiling with this set up, and here are my thoughts.
Firstly, I don't have the skillset to comment on one of its attributes, pumping. But I do feel this is something this foil will have me working on learning soon..
The conditions for this second time out whith the Whizz were squally cross onshore, typical south coast (although I was in Portugal at the time), as well as port and not starboard tack.
The 1200 Whizz has plenty of lift to get up onto the foil and get going, quite similar to my 1305 Glide. However, it manoeuveres and turns more like the Carve 2.0 1100, and to quote, as well as agree with the Duotone marketing blurb, it is ''exceptionally playful and responsive''.
Changing direction on the bumps and swell lines was easy and made for a real fun session. Gybes were smooth and the speed range of the foil meant that even if I made a mistake and started loosing speed, the gybe could be completed on the foil.
Where this foil really excells is its low stall speed and also the way the feel of the foil changes progressively and soothly to let you know more power/speed is needed to avoid dropping off the plane!
Overall, this foil set does exactly what I wanted it to do in a way that at my skill level I can enjoy it and progress!
