Ocean Rodeo HL Glide wing

[droffats]

Has anyone ridden one yet?

[Regis-de-giens]

I am starting Wingfoiling and used a too old F-one Swing that has exploded and need to replace , 5m ;
I am hesitating between 3-4 models:
- Gong Neutra V2 at 450 euro
- Gong Neutra V3 at 550 euro
- HB Guide 2022 at 500 euro
- I am hesitating to put "some" more money and get a Ocean rodeo Glide HL at 800 euros ;

What is your advice for a 60kg rider, 1750 cm2 foil , well experienced in kite foiling, and aiming to freely as soon as possible 5and a bit of "easy" freestyle but mainly waves and swell.

Thanks !

I have an HL Glide 3m. Its an excellent wing, but 800 EUR seems like a high price for it, given that it is soon to be updated by OR. I'm in the US, but the HL wings are pretty discounted here. Also - I think the carbon handles are extremely helpful to the performance of this wing and add additional cost. If you can find the wing for closer to 500-600, its probably a good deal.

I've never used any Gong products and I've never heard of HB. You might also consider the Cabrinha Mantis, FOne Strike or Swing. If budget is a big concern check out Takoon. The wings are not premium, but the performance is very good for the money.
