Lacroix Vortex Efoil Review

[@sifly_efoil]

Great that you test all the efoils, helping the customers get a better impression of the #efoil Market...

[@meshmellow]

That’s a very smart system. With few tweaks (hydrodynamics of the design, cable management, weight) could really have a place in the market. Thanks for reviewing.

Good to see it live. They announced it a while ago. Great video!

[@atillanayman]

Nice review thanks👍

[@JetSurfingNation]

Thanks for watching!

[@NoahZimmerman]

Have you heard anything from Lacroix beyond their Suspension of operations final statement? They were a really great company and it's very sad that they are gone now.

[@gerritraupach9059]

Thanks, good video. I am worried about all the cables and plugs below the board/in the water. There is not any more information, reviews in media or a test opportunity in Europe mentioned (on the homepage). Does anyone have more information/experience/sources? Thanks, Gerrit

[@JetSurfingNation]

Yes I didn’t like to see so many connectors in water, each is potentially a weak point that can break or leak.

Your kids are awesome.

[@JetSurfingNation]

You are so kind

3:05 I can see a burnt pin on the xt90 connector. Looks safe

I hear rumors that lacroix went out of business

[@eFoilLakePowell]

Im curious about the extra stress the weight may add to the hardware inserts in the bottom of the board. Ive seen a few pictures in the past of various brands of foil boards where the mast insert tracks were pulled out if the board. Its probably a rare thing, but I know very little of foiling disciplines and little to no personal experience outside of efoils. If the inserts were to fail you would lose the battery, mast, wings, and everything to the bottom of the water due to the weight. Do you think this system would increase the rare chance of the board inserts failing? The special board with battery insert looks great. Lower mass and swingweight sounds interesting. I only know of 2 efoil brands with bottom mounted batteries. This would bring it to 3 in a sense.

Yes I agree about the board, but Apple boards are very expensive, so it will be in the £1500 region if not more,. That is then taking the board to a higher price level, especially after adding the wings costs too.

[@razorholt6876]

Nice bit of kit. I just dont like the idea of the antenna cable being loose on the board... could easily be ripped off if caught in a fall. Why didn't show much footage of your use of this board.. is there a reason for this? Also you cut short the point about drag... again, why?

[@JetSurfingNation]

I didn’t have much time with it

[@razorholt6876]

Hey Mike, what type of surf hat are you wearing? 😊

[@JetSurfingNation]

Please check i made whole video about gear, helmets etc

[@razorholt6876]

@JetSurfingNation sorry Mike, but I can't find it... how long ago? 🤔

[@razorholt6876]

​@JetSurfingNation Hi Mike, I love what you do for us all. My Q is, what do you really feel about the larcoix vortex? I felt you held back on this review 👍

[@JetSurfingNation]
