Im no expert, and not that good or fast, but when I changed from a fuselage of 885mm (AFS) to 1000mm (Phantom) I noticed immediately how much more stable at >20 knots it was, and also how it glided around the gybes better. It could have been just the difference in the actual foils, but I doubt that.

try it first, you might be surprised 😀

soon 😀

I think I see your point. Most of us may have tried a larger fin on a narrower board and found the combination hard to control. Maybe because we're not pros. Or maybe it's just the super fin 🙂

@@firstnamelastname2669 a super fin. Standard fin, the longer it gets the more board gets sticky. On my fins the longer fin the more you ride high on the very tail of the board. It is magical combination.

@@wojtekbrzozowski woooooah thats a new thing , i bet you invented and discovered that big fins rides higher ... dude be decent . or you gonna get it .

i have same as pros 70 and 64 wide.

Żaden z nas nie jest Wojtkiem ;)

@@grzegorzgorniewski6502 no ale każdy chce lepiej pływać, może te słabe warunki u Wojtka nie przewidują pływania wypornościowego, może coś nam napisze więcej :)

@@michal5869 Wojtek tam mówi, że chodzi o wiatry rzędu kilkunastu węzłów czyli graniczne w rozumieniu slalomowego sprzętu. Nawet dla śmiertelnika deska szerokości 67cm nie jest jakoś szczególnie mała w takich warunkach, i niekoniecznie brałbym wtedy na wodę żagiel 8.5m ;) tyle, że na śródlądziu nie wieje równe 15w ale od 5 do 25 - i dobór sprzętu na takie warunki zawsze będzie kompromisem. Słabszy zawodnik weźmie deskę na zdychówki, a żagiel na szkwały. Wojtek może spoko zrobić odwrotnie 🙂

@@grzegorzgorniewski6502 no ok, to ma sens jak pływa ciągle w warunkach ślizgowych :)

Chłopaki, na słabym wietrze pływam na desce 110 l i na niej nie tonę nawet jak się zatrzymam. Ciekawostką jest to że na takiej małej desce bardzo wcześnie wchodzi się w ślizg pod warunkiem że ma się długi statecznik. Na razie najdłuższy jaki testowałem z tą dechą to 50 cm a w przyszłym tygodniu będę testował 60 cm. Sam nie spodziewałem się takiego efektu. Decha fantastycznie wchodzi w ślizg i przejeżdża przez dziury dosłownie siedem węzłów. Jestem mega zajaramy tym jak mała deska świetnie spisuje się z bardzo długim finem. Na desce 85 cm szerokości 140 l czuję się straszny opór tak jakby się ciągnęło folię na statecznikiku. A tego zupełnie nie ma na małej desce z długim finem. Wydaje mi się że deska słaba wiatrowa powinna być tylko taka żeby się na niej nie tonęło. I nic więcej.

Tak, z Easy. Na tym bomie Carbom Freeride działa jak złoto

It is all very personal. Using exclusively NP Evos (fin) since > 10 years. To me, major improvement from Evo 10 onward. But in terms of quality and breaking battens etc => no, they are definitely more than durable and I think I had one broken batten in total (I have many EVOs). At the same time, was hearing about many more broken battens on Severne (which is not GA / agreed). About sewing quality: yes, I was warned by a surfshop owner (not carrying NP) it would be weak. But in the practice never had to repair my EVOs for this reason. And I use them extensively (living close to the water). Anyway: are they expensive? Yes. Are they worth the price, for amateurs? I would answer with yes because they are definitely lasting (at least for me). Would I agree to pay full price in 2024 for the latest EVO Model? This is another discussion. Fact is that in 2024 you have meanwhile to "fight" to get a sail or a board, at least when you are living outside of Europe. With zero discount in comparison with Poland and Germany mainly. Makes it very expensive and not good for the windsurfing which is already in decline. But will I switch from NP to any other brand? No.

NeilPryde as company was changing hands in past years but now it is in German hands and the Quality it absolut Top. I am reffering in this video to 2024 collection, not the oldest models :)😀

@@wojtekbrzozowski I had most problems with 2023 models. At that time NP was in German hands and also friend has now problem with his 2024 foil sail 6,7. Did I mention broken masts and obligatory torn sail 8,7 at the mast connection ?? You'll see !!!

Eraly planing ability. NeilPryde takes off much earlier. Top speed very similar.

Thanks for fast answer 😅

Like everything in this world, when gets old, it breaks.

@@wojtekbrzozowski yup. After a day of windsurfing, my mind thinks I’m still 25 but my body tells me I’m 55. 😉

There’s a way to change the tensioners without opening the rope. You can cut an opening into them do slide them in and out 🤙

@@Nico_GER7 Nico, Thanks for your comment. That is true. I remember I used to do it back in a day whan I was on NeilPryde :)

@@Nico_GER7 Thanks Nico, sounds interesting. Please post a link to the NP web page (or someone else's if its unofficial) where it describes how to do this without damaging the sail. Thanks in advance.

Be careful what you ask for. He will have you in stitches when he does.

In the begining I used to surf bearfoot, but I had always some scars or cuts on my feet. But I just had enough when in 1992 PWA World Cup in Perth Australia I broke my little toe in my right foot and still completed the whole slalom World Cup. It was so much pain that I said "never more". From that time on I use boots and live is great :) I am happy for that decision becouse after 38 years of PRO windsurfing my ancles would be dead if not for the boots. Try Prolimit Raider 2mm boots.

Yes, V8 is a machine :)

Yes but there is a lot of brands that are to leazy to change stuff that does not work. Or they are to busy with other matters to do it.

You have to specify, I do not know what you mean?
