Hey Slappy,
That was me out there Saturday with the 5m wing - it was definitely touch and go with what felt like sub 10kt conditions at times. Deliberately trying to make do with the 5m instead of pulling out the 8m - I think with the 8 I would have been well powered most of the day but man that thing is just not as pleasant to ride with. For comparison my setup was the Armstrong apf1675, 220 tail, 935 mast. Very similar foil to your 1180 - I think I too would have struggled to get on foil without the downwind board. Anyway fun session after having a similar Friday to you - went out underpowered and with foil set in the wrong spot (new setup) and had a long swim in from outside the freighters on the north shore…
