Your ex Pansh team rider in Scotland, Stuart M, he got a set of sprints. Hr admitted they were shite.
You only have 2 or 3 people turning up to buggy races now. How can you compare?
Who are switch? A watch maker?
The other 2 people were flying vapors.

I've watched them!
Why else would grown men bring pop up tents to the beach? depravity!
You have been infiltrated! who wants to see those people at your beach? I have kids with me for crying out loud.
Agreed with the tents. But kinda useful for UK predictable weather.
You have kids? Oh no.

15m foil should work in 8 kts, but that areFlysurfer & Ozone
Your blow up sex doll doesn't count. But cudos on taking 12m
the boys must love you.
As for flysurfer and ozone, different budget.
Mind you, watched a guy with a 15m chrono2 today in 8kts(kept dropping the rising) and a foil board......no such luck getting going, but then neither would the aurora.
Think your missing the vital ingredient in low wind, the weight of the person flying it, the board being used, the conditions, the skill level. Etc.

In under 10 knts I go with my Spleene X19 closed cells and an Alaia or a Spleene Door 165. Rarely the hydrofoil (too much trouble self rescue-ing if wind drops bellow 5knts).
Had some rookies around here that orderer Pansh Aurora on internet, thinking cheaper is better... Never seen one to fligh properly.
Go buy a bike, it suits you better, socommk23

Never said cheaper was better. But it has its place. Mine fly's just fine as per my video, watch it then you would have seen one fly properly.
BTW, already have a bike

No. Apparently not. So many people say "panish" it's unreal. Lol

In french we pronounce "penche" which in french means
tilt / lean... Hope it is not a premonitory term, and I should verify it next week-end (when I will have received my new Aurora light) but I am confident
