Good video.I just bought gen2 Foil drive,I have my eye on a board very similar to your big board....6'5'' 28.5'' 4 1/4'' 115L..less volume ,more width.I am 65kg ,have SUP experience etc.With the extra width would it be just as good as a all around (board,prone,winging etc) as yours? I dont have much experience in foiling,one of the reasons i bought the FD
I am considering a SIC mako 6'5" x 27" ...117 litre.Is it a popular brand like Jimmy Lewis and others.Have you seen people using the Foil Drives on the mako??? thanks Joe
Great review.. what do you weigh and what downwind board is your go to.. I love my 107 armstrong DW as my main board and i weigh about 90 KG dry. No way i can sup foil it though.. Unless maybe i got really good on bigger board first.
Thanks for watching... stoked to see many people like it. In the beginning of the video we are talking about that. I am 75KG the DW board I have is 121L I am sure I could go down a few liters but the width of 21" is kind of as narrow I can go...
Awesome advice & video! The Lift guys have a video that suggests people AVOID boards equal to their weight in liters. They suggest either full floater or full sinker; with middle sizes being “corky” (not something by you can actually sink, not something you can float in)…. Curious your thoughts? Having a 75L board at 75kg?
Thanks for watching. I totally disagree with that sure you can go +\- 5-10liters why not. Starting as beginner you do body weight plus 20L but for me the 2nd board the most comfortable is equal body weight. Full sinker I tried needs to be super windy to get started I tried works but too much work getting started. Remember I am also not 20😆

@@jouzzo1 thanks for watching. yes I think it would be as good. I think the Gen2 is where it is at. I have the Gen1 and its too much work setting it all up.

Thanks for watching. It is a good choice for the board size and width.

@@StandUpMagazin Thanks.. I just figured 121 pretty big at your KG.. I do find my 107 fairly tippy to slog, Cheers.
