Small Foil Heavy Fella Downwinding. On foil review of the Code Foils 770R

I've been blown away by how easy I can paddle up the smaller R series foils in the Code Range and how much low end they have whilst still having great top end!
At the end of this run I decided to test the limits of the foil and flat water pump across a bay with a straight cross shore wind. Needless to say I was impressed.
Whole setup was the 770R with the Medium Fuse 135R and a 75cm Mast

Booyah ! I wish!

[@markduyvesteyn]

It’s crazy how some of these new foils have got a so much lift.

[@davewestfoils]

Yeah Armstrong and Code definitely ride bigger than their area would suggest.

[@64brutus]

Thanks for this video Dave! Excellent info! Did James really make you wear the collar?

[@davewestfoils]

Wrong colour if it was a code collar.

[@mateknightable]

Casey's got that collar on ya 🤣 you looked alot faster 🤙 ripping 🙌

[@davewestfoils]

Haha Just a boring phone lanyard.

[@frasershaw3071]

What board are u on dave?

[@LucasEarles]

What tail did you use on this run?
What are your go to tails for DW?

[@davewestfoils]

135r :) only cause that’s the only R tail I have. Would’ve opted for the 120 instead if I had it.

[@antoinenhn3874]

These small surface crazy hign aspect foils (code, armstrong) look very efficient for low range and pumping abilities.
But don't you sacrifice a bit of max speed in the same time ? Maybe the 980S-850S are faster than the 770R ?

[@davewestfoils]

No definitely not.

[@jamescasey7393]

I'm not sure what is going on with the collar, maybe a mic? Nothing to do with me though haha!

[@davewestfoils]

It’s just the lanyard for my phone case. Haha
