       Nub questions

       Just gotten a wing, SS Slingwing 4, and am jazzed to get her
       started. The plan was for the weekend but low wind forecast will
       postpone unless I can find a land board to borrow. I have been
       foiling with windsurfing using an Exocet RF 81 and a recently
       purchased SS Freestyle. Current foil is a SS with the I76 front
       wing. The wing specific board will have to wait as I have two
       foil boards and want to make those work until I really need an
       upgrade.
       Any advice on changing the foil set up to use the wing? Fuse A,
       B or C position? I have been watching all the "how to" vids I
       can find. Good stuff on how to start and positioning / control
       of the wing ... the hardware setup is missing is not discussed.
       My thanks. Mac

       Try using your Windfoil Board and same Foil setup you use for
       Windfoiling. You will be surprised how well that works. The RF
       81 should be more than big enough to keep you afloat. Just take
       off the straps.
       For really light wind I use my old KiteRace Boards with Windfoil
       Foils.  This actually works better than SUPs and Surf foils in
       light wind.

       Thx Gunnar. I appreciate the response. Love the vid but wow that
       wing is HUGE. Looks like it will be at least another week before
       I can get her wet.There is no decent wind in driving distance to
       make it worth while. I'll watch and hope for more! Maybe I will
       inflate and punk around with it just to get used to the feel of
       it.
       Pray for wind,
       Mac
