The racers who've complained about 8m wings will be complaining that they can't use their 7.3's anymore and the ideal rider weight will be 70 kg's. It's a small guy sport now. And the racers will definitely stay on their 500 cm2 foils.
The last M2O Eddo Sup paddled it on a F-0ne on 516 Momentum :- 1hr -56 min ( 1st place Sup) . Cash came in on the wing I think it was a 7.5m 1hr - 48 min . Line honours but not sure on foil size but pretty sure he was powered the whole way and averaged 39.9 kph that is so fast . 8 mins ahead of Eddo at 40kph that a huge gap. It's a separate division why on earth would you want to limit it , I know this is more directed at course racing.............It's not like a Para where you can change size mid race . The sport is still evolving so fast it's stupid to try and slow it down. All this high racing will put even more R&D into smaller more efficient user friendly foils for us punters. Who would have thought a year ago people would be prone paddling a UHA 570 cm2 foil and pumping laps on it.
