How it surfs
The magazine's read on the shape is the useful part: pure mid aspect with a gentle anhedral curve, no sharp points and no thinned-out edges, which it says makes the wings approachable from the first session.
Fit and finish drew praise, and the whole kit bolts together with standard M6 Torx hardware, so one driver assembles everything. The tested 75 cm S26 carbon mast showed excellent torsional rigidity, which matters most when towing.
Weight is honest rather than featherlight. The tester found the 1050 and 1250 nearly identical in hand and described the overall package as solid and beefy, with the mast contributing much of that.
Volume & sizing chart
Use the chart below as a starting point. Add half a litre if you are less experienced, subtract half a litre for a looser feel.
| Size | Volume | Rider weight | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1050 | Small, fast surf | Lighter riders, prone | Intermediate to advanced |
| 1250 | Steeper surf, all-round | Mid weight | Intermediate to advanced |
| 1650 | Higher aspect, early lift | Larger surfers | All levels |
| 2000 / 2450 | SUP, downwind, wing | Light wind | All levels |
How it compares
| Board | Best at | Wave range | Aggregate score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Naish Jet 1240 | More lift in the same family | Prone and wing | 9.4 |
| Axis Spitfire 900 | Mid-aspect surf turning | Prone and wing | 9.2 |
| Armstrong MA1000 | Mid-aspect all-round | Prone, wing, SUP | 9.0 |
Verdict
A forgiving mid-aspect wing at the small end of the Jet range. It gives up glide to the high-aspect crowd and buys back approachability and turning, and the delta outline with gentle anhedral is genuinely easy to get on with. Best for lighter prone foilers riding steep, fast waves.
