If you haven't seen him, George Grisley has been posting some nice foilstyle moves along with his fin freestyle content. Nice to see him along with Balz (and others) showing us what can be done on foil.
Props to Duotone for some new windfoiling gear (even if it's derived from wing). NP, are you listening? With the new Swift wings, you are one decent fuse away from a good windfoil.
Cool, much appreciated - new gear! the board he’s on is really nice, same shape as -2021 (which I use). Could be shorter (199) but the extra length actually gives it an edge in light wind. Better tracking, easy uphaul, u can tack it like a normal fin board
Very privileged to see George G sending it on both foil and fin on our home patch of water. The video is pretty good but live is unreal and how physical he is. Keep sending it AWESOME 😎
Great to see foilstyle content from George and good to see Duotone supporting the direction windfoil should always have been pushed in as there's lots of fin skills crossover for those of us who like cranking round corners. The foil looks reminiscent of the Sab909? Like the look of the board too, always good to have options!
The Carve 3 series came out last year (September?). I’ve been using it for swell style since. It’s a bit pitchy, but I think that’s designed in so it has the “pop” they want. The recommended stab is the Px175. I could never get it to work and went back to the C250 from the Free series. While I was in Baja in January I tried the Glide 2 750 and think it’s a better match for my riding style (no jumping, carving not slashing). Duotone no longer offers the 105 cm mast or the smaller sizes of their F-pace foil sail. I love both and will continue to gripe about it in the hope they do a limited run at least so I can restock. I did try the Super Hero recently and really, it was fine. I felt it did cause the board to get a bit more pitchy when it started to get over-powered. (More then the Fpace.) The new Stingray 103 looks much shorter and wider. I’ll try to upload a picture I grabbed from George’s video. Sorry, can’t upload from my iPad. (This new interface is not iPad friendly really. I typed then instead of than above and I can’t seem to go back and change it. The cursor keeps jumping back to the end.)
