Flatwater Paddle Ups on the Sunova Aviator Prone and Code Foil 850S

Testing out the new Sunova Aviator Downwind Prone, featuring the 7'2, 7'6 and 8'0 all x 18" wide boards. Paired with my 850S it was a good test as this foil is right on the edge of my ability to flatwater start. Filmed and Banter provided by the legend himself Josh Ku

Just watching this and your mast test vid, the difference between paddling up the 860R vs 850S appears significant. I wouldn't have thought the S would be that much more difficult. Appreciate the videos!

We just picked up the 6’10” size of this board and are super stoked with it!! We’ve light-wind winged it, winged it powered up in the waves, winged it with an anchorman, and have just learnt to hand paddle prone foil on it also. Haven’t tried flat water paddle up yet, but will try and work up to that challenge. It’s such a versatile board. Absolutely love it! Can’t wait to downwind it! Enjoyed this demonstration and comparison. Cheers Jimmy!

Good info!

Hello. It's possible to start up with a normal wing foil board? For example i have a Cabrinha macro 5'4" wing foil board and axis front wing 1044.

Looking forward to talk all about it at the M2O

Lets lock it in!!

Length is clearly your friend for flat water launches - seeing each of these boards are identical width I'd be interested to hear if you picked up any improvement in stability on the longer versions?

[@jamescasey7393]

huge improvements with stability the longer I went but volume increased too so hard to know fore sure which was the contributing factor
