@UisceBeatha
I have both the SF680/S185 and DW750/S178 - 78 kg - North Vert 4'5 - 30L - used for winging only so far and with an anchorman.
I just got, today, the S142, so I'll be able to report back on it in a few days.
Tried the S192, but way too big, slow, unresponsive for my weight and style of riding.
As amazing as the SF680 is for its surface area, the pump, glide, efficiency, drag less feeling of the DW750 is next level.
Very low stall speed. Lower than the SF.
Turns very well and feels quite loose for its given span, but obviously not as nimble and playful as the SF680.
I was riding nearly exclusively the MA850v2 and once I got the SF680, I thought that it would become my one foil quiver.
However, when I tried the DW750, I fell in love with it. The glide is just NUUUUUTS.
I have a DW690 and S122 on order already.
Pretty much sums my my thoughts and experiences with these foils. Only thing that is going to keep me on the SF680 for most of my winging is not being able to jump with the DW750 (not recommended by North).
I was able to get out with the C700 fuselage and that fixed a lot of the instability I was feeling with the C600.
@Tangur Which mast are you using with these foils?

Would s185 work with SF1230 for an intermediary. I know riders guide say it's too small but nevertheless
You can mix and match whatever you want.Riders guide is a "guide", a starting point.You could chop the S215 on the dotted lines to make it looser and I suspect that the S185 with the SF1230 would result in just that.

HM80 and 85 depending on whether or not the gf rides with me and steals the HM85.
C600 only - never rode a 650 or 700
600 is horrible IMO, very unstable. I think for lightweight people its good.for me it just felt unstable, especially when you want to go fast. Still waiting for the 650, but with north, seems like nothing is on stock.

Since you can apparently already order it, would you mind sharing the specs and expected release date?

I unfortunately don't have the specs and don't have an ETA. Late spring I imagine if I extrapolate from previous seasons.I just wanted something faster and looser and it was the smallest offering along with the SF530 (ETA March for SF).

What's your weight?Gear is very subjective, I might like something and my friend might hate it and vice versa.I've ridden setups that people were saying were loose, nimble, turning on a dime and I found them slow, unresponsive, riding on tracks, extremely stable.And I've made friends ride a setup that I loved and they went "meh".
