Nice to see what the thoughts are behind the development of this board. Thanks for sharing!

[@Willy-Wind]

Thanks for the video. What is the distance between the front bolt of the foil and the center of the mast base?

[@carmelodelfinmartinezdesal4628]

nice video..any experience with long fuselages like 115 plus? What about course racing?

[@Windsurf254]

Great video. As a light weight rider in guessing the 78 would suit me. Normally 12 to 14 gusting 20+. Problem being here in NZ its a long way and wait for everything

Really cool board ! Congratz 🤙🤙 how much earlier does the 91 fly compared to the 85 ?

[@Nico_GER7]

I would say 2 knots of wind (given same wing and sail size).

Hi, fantastic board ... ( I use first model foil 91) I weigh 70kg, for a smaller board tips 78 and 85 ? in relation to my weight

[@max88nielsen]

So with your biggest NP foil sail 9.0 and front wing what board would you use In marginal PWA conditions. And what will the other pro starboard riders use ? I guess with 7,8-8,0 it’s the 85. Hope the boards will arrive here in Europe soon.

wow, this is really more like airplane then surf board now ;)

[@matronix1977]

I know now why this board was secretly tested ! It is so obvious that other brand could copy it !

[@Nico_GER7]

The boards tested in the Development video are 2024 designs 🙂

[@markocernic8659]

It seems that the boards aren't so fast !! ( According to PWA results in Sylt !! )

[@Nico_GER7]

With a 3rd?

[@markocernic8659]

@@Nico_GER7 Oh yes, Matteo. Is this the guy taking part on small dances also, like ( non ) Pwa Bol - Croatia !!! He's fast, I saw him !! But he is fast on every board, mainly becaue of the Z-foil !!!

[@Nico_GER7]

@@markocernic8659 Okay, so probably the board is slow.

[@michel7005]

@@markocernic8659 the boards make a huge difference to last years boards. Trust nico

[@nikemie1]

As development is moving so fast with foiling, it will probably be changed next year to SR71 Blackbird!
