Flat water paddling up negative volume DW SUP boards: 6'3 Armstrong 85L
Просмотров 6 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Here I am trying Mia's 85L board , my normal is a 107L. I weigh 90kg so its negatively bouyant and I sink it to my hips if I stop paddling. Using the super easy 1675 APF Armstrong and 795 mast with 220 glide and red shim (mast set all the way back). So nice to have a smaller board to pump once up. I will try the 1180 with this board next! Weight: 90kg Gear: 6'3 DW board 85L; 1675APF/795PM/220gl...

Second time foiling a Millers downwind, South Africa. Epic conditions!
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.7 месяцев назад
15-20 knots SE with some small ground swell wrapping in . Millers run in south africa starts at Miller's point end at Fishhoek bay. This run is a bay run technically but really huge fetch on a SE wind so feels like an open ocean run at times. Many surfski's do this run and rarely a winger . Hopefully more do this run on SUP foil as it is really good quality bumps! Winger is friend Gumbi on his ...
