Houston Kiteboarding Thoughts: The 200 high aspect has been on of our shop favorites for prone surfing and wing foiling in the surf for larger guys. The heavier you are the faster your water speed on any given wing...this is good for stability but a speed increase also adds drag and much effort to get up on foil. This being said, it is important to find the sweet spot for speed when surfing and pumping in the waves. The 200 high aspect works best for guys under 200lbs in smaller surf and is great for riders looking to pump and maximum efficiency. The 120, 170, 200 high aspect can be split up by rider weight. If you're under 150lbs the 120 is the most efficient pumping and surfing wing, if you're between 150-175lbs the 170 high aspect is best. Over 175lbs go with the 200 high aspect or the 250 high aspect if you're 200lbs+. There is some wiggle room on these numbers and everything is dependent on skill. If you down size outside the weight range what you will feel is more speed (for bigger waves) and more dynamic stability. Same if you go bigger than you need, it will be slower (smaller waves) and less stable. You can always call us for advice on these...we know them all and have everything in stock. The Lift High Aspect are our FAVORITE high performance wings on the market...you cannot go wrong with Lift.
