Takuma Lol foils
Thought I would give a quick review on this foil.

I brought this foil about two weeks ago with the Alloy mast and fuselage as I have been looking for good foils to use and sell and this one interested me.

I brought the 1600 wing as I thought this would be a good size to see what this foil is about.

I will do a more detailed review on setting it up and what's in the box at a later date this is more about how it works.

So far I have done a few light downwind sessions and a bunch of wave sessions on this wing and straight up love the way it feels.
The wing seems to have a huge range and when most were not getting up on there 102 Axis I was flying fine on a light wind DW run, i still had to work as it was very light but I made the who run without touching down which I don't think I would have been able to do on any other foils I have used.

Top end speed feels really good and after using the new 900 wing from Axis for a while it kind of feels close to that in the top end but a far better bottom end and does not drop out as much as the higher aspect wings when the speed gets a bit slower. Still need to test in higher winds but after averaging 19.6km/per hour in super light wind I feel this wing should sit around the 21 to 22km average which for it's size is pretty good, This is average speed over a 1km not just a peak speed by the way as I don't think a peak speed really tells us much.

On the surf side this is by far the best wing I have ever surfed on, holds it's turns crazy good and accelerates through its runs like nothing I have been on and to pump around it feels super efficient.

I have the carbon mast and fuselage coming as I love light and the extra bit of speed and feel carbon gives but after riding the Alloy set up this would rank as one of the best I have been on and I have been on a lot if different foils lately.

I have been testing a lot of stuff as I only really want to sell the stuff that works right and gives the best bang for your buck, still a lot I have not tested but this Lol foil is one that will be making the cut and getting put on the shop floor.

Will do a proper review once I get some decent wind of how it goes at high speed DW.
Myself I will more than likely ride the 1300 wing as my go to wing and use the 1600 as my light wind DW or really small surf wing. They do a 1900 as well and I will get one of the bigger guys to review this to see how it stacks up against some of the other bigger wings on the market.
