I learned to Wing Foil with the Slingshot Dialer designed for wind foiling and Ozone WASP 4m and 6 M. I use the same foil in 99,87,76. The 99 has so much lift at low speed! I use the 48 rear with tips down. A little slow in the turns, but I stay UP. I have a new Fanatic Sky wing 5'10" 110L now. Still using the same foils. Nice review. Thank you!
Sounds like your dialed in and having fun. Check out the light wind wing foil video i posted couple of weeks back. With a 5.4 wing and i99 you can foil in very light winds. Cheers
I have a 2018 Slingshot Dialer 130 (similar light wind performance). It was very tricky to balance with the fwind1 blue wing, so I upgraded to a black and orange Infinity 84. I'm about 85 kilos, but I need a 7.5 sail to get foiling in winds 5-10. The 99 looks great, but I like how turny my 84 is.
Pulled the trigger and bought the 99, CRAZY lift, works great on the 125, noticeably different from the 84 in terms of lift, can't believe I can Windfoil in under 10knts!!!!!!! Thanks again for posting!
@@FreshWaterWindsurfer I use the Duotone F-Type 5.8, it's cambered and has good power. I do have to pump like crazy in under 10knts but thing has great lift.
Hi on the slingshot website they say it is not compatible with Wizard boards since it doesn’t have a foil track the lift is too far back. Only levitator board is recommended. But you have it in B position not even C which would bring the lift forward, but you don’t even seem to need that. So I don’t see why they would say that? I have a 150 wizard.
Pierre Olivier don’t worry the infinity 99 wing works on all boards that we’ve tested (even non foiling boards) it may take a little experimenting with the mast base and back foot pressure but once dialed in you’ll be delighted with the low end performance
Core Adventure Sports thanks. I have the slingshot 84 front wing and only the 42 rear wing. Do I absolutely need the 48 rear wing for the 84 or 99 front wing? That is what slingshot recommends. You seem to use the 42 rear without problem.
@@mrbeginpo Some riders prefer the 48 rear wing for early lift without having to pump too much, but you it feels quite draggy, I prefer the 42 rear wing as it turns much quicker and better top end speed (I just have to pump a bit more to get going).
Core Adventure Sports I'm trying i99 wing on SS mast and SwitchFuse in position C. With my Tahe 160 board (no sliding foil mast track, just deep Tut box at back) using a Powerplate, I try to get the i99 wing as far forward as possible according to Wyatt Miller's recommendations. With all this, the middle of i99 wing corresponds to a place atop the board that is 30 inches from the middle of the U Joint track. I can move U Joint back in track to get more lift. With all this I still wish I could get earlier flights without having to use sails 7.0 and higher, in winds say 10-12 mph. I weigh 84 kg. Does all this sound ok or does i99 wing need to be further forward? I admit I'm not the best pumper and working on that.
I did test it with a 48 rear wing but it was back foot pressure overload for me! it also creates a ton of drag. However that's my personal experience, we do have local riders that do use the 48 rear and really like it. The 42 rear is much quicker through the turns as well.
dunno if anyone gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last couple of days xD
Hi Freshwater Windsurfer it depends on which board you are using? The bigger sails are heavier and puts pressure downwards on the board making it sticky (also more drag) I find a nice light and easy to pump sail works better in light winds (does take more of a pumping technique though).
Thanks for the video. I have wizard 150 with Tuttle and I’m really interested in the 99 wing but slingshot does not recommend. Seems to work great on your 125 but I’m still hesitant to put down the cash since they don’t recommend. Have you tried on a 150 wizard or know anyone who has. Would you still recommend? I’m 6’ and 205 pounds
Hi Steve, I have not used the W150 with the i99 wing but it I am very confident it will work as we have used the i99 with many, many different style of boards (slalom and foil), just try either B or C position to see which you prefer, its a great wing
Hello 1wevans, We have tested the i99 on Slingshot FS115, Horue 90, Horue 135, Horue 145, JP135, even a Starboard Hyper sonic that's 20 years old...all of them work awesome.
I have the 90cm mast and was considering buy this. I heard from others that the 90cm mast may be too long and the 99 wing can bend it? Someone recomended I get a smaller mast, what do you think?
Yes use the 90cm mast. That’s all I use for every infinity wing. Zero bending issues, never heard of infinity wings bending masts unless you start jumping them!
Looks pretty calm out there. I find I need to see at least a few whitecaps for my i84 to work and that's with bigger sails. Dean are you using your 84 much still or do you drop down to a 76 when the 99 is too much?
@@coreadventuresports2422 Interesting, donate you keeping the 99 in the quiver with the 68 and 84 or is there too much overlap between the two.big wings?
@@AdamsHadEnough For me personally there is only a slight overlap between the i99 and i84. The i99 I use in 5-15 knots and the I-84 in 10-20 knots (which we typically get more of over a given month). Having both wings has seriously increased more TOW
Great video. Did you get feel for what the top end is for the i99? I've heard its a "slower" wing in terms of pumping speed relative to the i84, but curious if you found it had a slower top end speed vs. the 84 (before it cavitates, etc.)
Hi Justin, According to my GPS my top speed on the i99 is around 18 mph. Its a bit slower than the i84 but it will foil you through the lightest of wind holes so you can connect with the next puff. I use the i99 in 5-12 knots and the i84 in 10-16 knots you will give up a little speed with the i99 but gain bottom end speed in lulls.
@@coreadventuresports2422 Wonderful, thank you SO MUCH. My primary use case is wake foiling and pumping so 18 mph is well in excess of the speeds I will be seeing. As a heavier rider (195 lbs, 89kb) even the i84 can lack some low speed lift that I need in variable conditions. Really excited to try the i99 when it comes this week
Hi yesterday i tried the 99 on my 103 wizard but i think the Position B is too far back i had my back foot at the end of the Board. Next i will try Position c if thats working or i will drill some extra holes at the fuselage
Yes try C next, I have not foiled the 103 wizard its too small for me, the smallest SS board with the i99 I have tested is the FS115 and we had the i99 all the way forward in the twin tracks.
@@coreadventuresports2422 i now changed to the fs 115 because of the footstrap Position. I tried the i99 in tracks all way forward but still lean too much back specially in the gybe.

@@901lite I have only foiled the FS115 a few times with the i99. We found sliding the mast base all the way forward (on the front of the mast base the 2nd holes in so the mast base is as far as it goes) help this helps?

How do you think the 99 would fare with a 7.2 foil sail *with 2 cams*? Maybe it would get going even earlier than with the 5.8 here?
