Nice work on the gear hookups! John has great foil boards and in general is a truly nice guy. It's really good to see how fast your improving its made me put down my wing and dedicate a little more time to prone.

Thanks so much for the kind words. Ya his prone board has been really great. I really dig it a lot and can't wait to get on his wing board.

Congrats on getting hooked up with Unifoil -- I love my Progression 140 & 170 wings. I know you are acclimating to a new board and now a smaller tail and maybe shouldn't change too many variables all at once -- but you seem to adapt and progress super quickly to new equipment. I would like to see Unifoil send the 830mm Katana mast to you next. I think that will help decrease the breaching and allow you to lean more into your turns. As far as wing foiling -- I started that journey last year and borrowed my friend's 115L board for my first 5 sessions on mediocre lake conditions. I then bought a 75L board (I'm 65kg or 145lbs) -- went to OBX in solid wind conditions. It was challenging and a lot of falling off and climbing up -- but once I got it -- I am never going back to a larger board. Next step is to go down to a 50L board.

Thanks so much, Its funny you mention the longer mast. I was actually thinking about getting a shorter one for shallow conditions but a longer one would definetly help with my breach issue from both turns and running out of water. Hoping my wing stuff shows up soon and I can start the journey. Thank you for the support as always!

Ripping. Try a bit of drop knee style in your turns to see how that feels.

@@theliftjournalyeah the drop knee is crucial, but be prepared for some push back/g force on the back knee. This is more of a factor with some rigs compared to others. Ease into it haha. I swear I almost tweaked my knee when demoing a different front wing than I was used to.

Nice dude. The wing is great for more flight time. Amundson made me a custom surfboard years back for kiting. He is the ‘guy’ on Oahu for foil boards. @nywaterman
