As there are so many Foils available locally now, I would not go for a CN one. Depends where you are based. In Europe, Gong and RL are affordable and they work well. RL has two wings specifically for eFoils, they can be found in the forum. Gong also has a big selection of different size front wings that work well for eFoils. Pro M or L, Pro Clear Veloce M or L.

Edit: recommended mast size is around 80cm
Wing should work but it is a bit thick, probably not the best for high speed. Also the surface area would help to judge, should be between 800 and 1600cm2 depends on your weight and desired lift speed/max speed.

Sat thank you for the recommendation
But those kits are tripling the price of the CN kit.

Any thoughts on this foil? Is 90cm to long for a mast? I weigh 70kg

The L has a wingspan of 77 cm for a (projected) surface area of 1227cm2 (1361cm2 developed), and its volume is 1,60L. The surface area is moderate with a tolerant and fast profile of 2,4cm thick. Mounted with a 40cm Kite Stab, this Foil is suitable for people over 85kg.
