Would love to hear some more feedback on the sk8. I’m 75kg and have the 850 and can’t decide whether the 550 or 650 would be better to compliment it. How did you find the stall speed of the 550?
At 75kg I would suggest the 550, especially if you plan to keep the 850. The 550 will be an awesome foil for high winds or fast waves. The stall speed will feel a little sharp when you first try it but persevere as you will adjust foot pressure and reaction times to account for it. The carve of 550 is next level! If you were just wanting to only have one foil, you could push for only riding the 650 but may lose access to some of the slower waves and lighter wind conditions if you haven’t got perfect pumping technique/don’t own a big wing to power the smaller foil
I can see your point of view. I don't see a soft handle variant in that system and it requires tools to interchange. The F One system suits my needs more so hence my opinion. Would love to hear your thoughts on the nova system!
Really enjoying the new handles!! And the sk8 is my new favourite!!!
Thanks Lachie and OTB for the great info videos, really enjoying them keep up the good work

Does the Strike V4 have decent lift/grunt? Looking for a wing to start my sinker board easily.
Yeah! Big step up from the V3 in this area
"Best system on the market for interchangeable handles" ...bro really? North Nova Pro ring a bell? At least try to be impartial.
