At this stage, that sort of behaviour is to be expected from the Australian Psych-Rock heroes. Responding to the riding style of riders and the emergence of wingfoilers, they’ve added center backfoot straps and further forward front straps for the two smaller boards.Upon discovering that King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard would be performing two separate sets at Manchester Academy last week, it was as much as I could do to shrug in an Alan Partridge-esque fashion. What else is new and very noteworthy is all the new footstrap placements available. It’s a great board for shredding with sail or wing, though you probably want to be an advanced foiler before getting this one in the water. The 90L board is only 147cm long (just under 5 feet) and was 3 years in development. It’s the same height, 10 cm more narrow, and 2cm thicker. The 114L replaces the 105L, and it’s aimed to be a more lively and fun ride. This makes it even easier to uphaul and transport. It’s 10cm shorter and 1cm more narrow, but ~2cm thicker for added volume. It’s the ideal board for the average windfoiler. The first change is new sizes which are 130L, 114L, and 90L. The Wizard further cements itself as a go-to option for new windsurf foilers. New for 2021 is the Wizard v3 product line which makes some changes from the model reviewed above, and we think for the better. Riders will need a period of familiarisation but once this has been completed who knows what level of foil riding the Slingshot Wizard 125 will elevate you to. Aiming firmly at the freeride market with a gentle shove towards the progressive end of the spectrum, having learnt those foiling fundamentals, Slingshot’s Wizard 125 covers the bases and takes you there with style. Slingshot is really leading the way with progressive shapes and windfoiling wisdom. Wyatt Miller explains the differences between the Wizard 103, 105 and 125L
Check out Wyatt’s video under, explaining the differences between the Slingshot Wizard 103, 105 and 125L:
While flying back and forth – mowing the lawn – is perfectly applicable once you fancy you’re poised for all manner of foiling transitions, jumps, and general flight tomfoolery that you’ve possibly seen some riders indulging in.īrand Manager Wyatt Miller is certainly one of those advancing the genre and it’s boards like the Wizard 125 (and its smaller siblings) that will take you to this realm if you so wish. It’s pretty unique among windfoil sleds.Īdditionally, there’s the progressive nature of the Wizard. Obviously the act of windfoiling itself is one that keeps riders coming back but it’s the optimised performance of the Wizard that’ll keep you hooked.
#A WIZARDS LIZARD REVIEW PLUS#
Foot strap positions, the board’s thick and wide tail plus the illusion of almost being ‘nose free’ above the brine combine to deliver a unique feel.Īnd it’s this experience that becomes addictive. Having gotten airborne the benefits of such a nimble sled become apparent. The ultimate board protector that doesn't get in the way.
