Appreciate your comments regarding "middle of the road" in various disciplines. As I progress in my wing journey there are certain things that I appreciate in a wing so I'm glad that you touch on them. Racing wings, surf wings, jumping wings, freestyle wings - I''m beginning to notice a real difference in all! Thanks Tucker!

Thanks Joe, Appreciate all our conversations on the nuances in this sport. It's just starting and it's staggering how much the gear has progressed and refined for each discipline. -Tucker

Nice review 👏🏄🏼‍♂️

[@MACkiteboarding]

Thanks!

Hi Tucker, could you comment on the Nova’s upwind performance ( stability, balance, and angle into the wind), as well as its stability when flagged out ? Thanks

[@MACkiteboarding]

The Nova is rather well balanced side to side and luffs well in good wind. It's a little heavy in the trailing edge so it doesn't luff amazing in light winds. It goes upwind well and had medium drag into the wind. Does that help? -Tucker

Hi Tucker Thank you for your review. I am an absolute beginner in wingfoiling. I come from Surfing and windsurfing. I live at a lake. Do you recommend this wing for me? 6m2(73kg)? Thanks for your advice-Florian

[@MACkiteboarding]

Yes, absolutely. The Nova is ideal for new riders with easy to use features and versatile performance. -Tucker

Hey ! Good review, about two points : - I do think the one pump thingy is a good thing. I Don't see myself pumping the leading edge, close it, then pumping the strut would be a pain in the ass and the one pump is saving you time. - About the rope ancrage points for the harness, I was a bit suprised too that there is not, but at the end of the day, isn't winging here to be simplier than kiting ? I really like the fact that I don't need a harness, and I've done some 5h sessions without it and feel fine. But I do understand also that for some it's good for the forearms. But it is rellay easy to find a solution and I think North provide a rope that you can use on it ;)

[@MACkiteboarding]

For sure Tom, mostly I'm just nitpicking because I really like this wing. I try to find something to comment on that could be improved. Some of that is subject to my personal preferences ;) Personally, I'm a big fan of harnesses. I ride overpowered and stay upwind at the same spot more often than downwinding so it takes a toll on your arms. Especially when you are riding hard and learning new tricks. I like to stay fresh so I can progress rather than fatigue or lose posture. Especially when testing new wings that I need to get an honest feel for. -Tucker

You reviewed Cabrinha Mantis v2 and North Nova v2. If you had to choose between those two - which would be your choice?

[@MACkiteboarding]

That's a great question, my friend. 🤙🏽 A quick phone call might be the best way to suss this one out. Got time to chat? [phone]

[@madispalm1517]

@@MACkiteboarding Thanks for the reply and contact. I appreciate that!

[@Andrea-cf1de]

Great review! Which one would you suggest for freeriding, Duotone Unit or North Nova?

[@MACkiteboarding]

Either works well for freeriding. Personally, I prefer the Unit for the lighter weight and grunty low end. - Tucker

[@ShorelineCityscapeWalks-ov2ev]

Will the widows be okay in the winter times in Toronto, Canada?

[@MACkiteboarding]

Great question, my friend. 🤙🏽 Give us a shout when you have a moment. We’re always happy to help: 800.622.4655

[@MACkiteboarding]

Yes, the brands have moved to a more pliable window material which isn't affected by the cold. -Tucker
