If you get a fuselage that is fixed be sure that whatever board you end up with the Center of Lift is between you legs for the wing, otherwise you will have to have to use excessive downward pressure on either front or back leg. I would enquire where the CoL is on the wing you are going to purchase and see how it fits with your board.
The Slingshot at least allows for moving the wing. I'm using a PB adapter (non foil board) with the Fwind1 pedestal mount. The mast is mounted in Position C (wing forward) and Pedestal mounted as far forward as possible. In other forums, with a SS fuselage, an additional hole was drilled to position the CoL
I have read quite positive reviews on ease of learning concerning the Infinity wings (76/84). I know one individual who had the original foil kit (Gamma 68) went to the Infinity 76 wing and was flying right away. There is also a new Infinity 99 wing released in Australia. SS will be introducing a new line of foils "Phantasm" (launch date unknown).
I am just a beginner foiler (flight time of 15 seconds or less).
If you do talk to either Bigwinds or Windance maybe enquire how the Chinese tariff will impact the price of future foils. I know the SS is made in China as the cardboard box the mast came in had the label "Made in China".
Good Luck
