How will the remote work with winging/SUP? Some sort of boom/paddle mount?
Also the launch pad has different settings it remembers. you can have different settings for prone, wing, downwind. You tell launch pad what you are doing and it loads default or your preferred settings for that foil discipline.
With a sinker wing board you slow the wind-up speed and extend duration of boost. this gives time to get ready, get board planing & then lift off!

was funny in this video when he was holding the launchpad out of the board. he would tilt the launchpad so the camera could see it & the launch pad would come up with the tilt message because the launch pad was titled. The board had nothing to do with the tilt message as the launchpad wasn't in the board. then he would look at the board & even move the board. Was funny watching him tilt the launch pad, look at the board and repeat.

The Raw boards and flux foils are amazing. Amp Jet needs specific conditions I think. Issue over here is distance. Waves are 800m offshore so battery taxed before you get out. Great for beachie when u can pump like mr b.

Yeh I got one & loving it. Have posted about it elsewhere on this forum. Wondering what's making you ask the question/what's behind your question? Happy to share my thoughts.
I got to ride before I purchased so knew what I was getting which helped make decisions about size & foil easier to make.
Had a great session (no jet, just with the blank in) yesterday at a local point break. light onshores with chopped up swell aimed direct down the line of the point. was a bit more down wind style foiling than riding waves. Hoping for the same again this afternoon
There's 4 people down here now with them. A few other crew have the foils but not the boards. One of the guys who bought an amp, when he first got it was wishing he bought a longer one. the flitelab board he bought was shorter & less litres than his previous prone foil board, so there was an adjustment. He stuck with it and loves it now too. I just ask him how's it going & the smile spreads across his face and he can't wipe it off. There was a bit of persistence from him to adjust to riding a smaller/less volume board. The persistence paid off & his foiling was gone from strength to strength with and without the jet. I reckon he has had his since when they were first released. I've had mine since November. I ain't going to be selling mine. Am going to buy a longer one to wing/parawing & downwind with.
