Thank you Gunnar - excellent, candid reviews we've come accustomed to!!
Please consider reviews for MHL and Alpine at some point....voice of objectivity for these foils.

Hi Gunner, the Moses wing and stabliser you are using, they are not the set you were using a few weeks ago, it looks like a 633 wing, but what stabliser and mast size are you using, and is the fuse the standard Moses foil one?
you make it all look far to easy!
great video by the way.

Hi Foil,

I am using the normal Onda Pump Wings on the Fluente mast. So W633 and S483, and 91cm mast. The 633 does not fit on the Kite fuselage, I am using the standard Surf Fuselage.

you need to try this setup out, the next time you are here.

Hi,

I would love to, but getting MHLs down here is expensive. It will have to wait until I find someone who has one.

Regarding Alpine. I was in contact with their US importer and they were super keen, but in the end Damien Chaboud never contacted me. I could review last years foils, as the dealer has some here, but to be honest, there is little good to say about those. I would much prefer the review the new generation of foils, which seem to have addressed the problems that the old ones had.

To make Gunnar's video with its riding and colors shine even more, some contrast:

The weather conditions in this video probably fall somewhere between those in Frank's and Gunnar's videos.
The rider skill displayed is at least an order of magnitude below either.
