"Does it really work or is this all done with smoke and mirrors?" - Mike
This is question we get regularly on this forum and via the contact page on our website (https://www.tritonfoils.com/contact.html)
To move the conversation forward (and hopefully give the doubters something to chew on) here our response to Mike.

Hi Mike,
We hear you...
Its a big step mentally to move from a traditional foil with fuse and stabilizer to a monowing.
That said, we would not have put two plus years of design and manufacturing effort and expense into this monowing if we didn't think the T1 is the future of foiling.
We could not be happier with the performance of the consumer ready version of the T1 monowing.
The T1 truly is a replacement for a traditional foil in terms of its pitch stability, roll stability, ample front foot pressure, high and low speed range, amazing turny/carvey ride and super compact design for travel and storage.
That said there are some people that this wing is NOT for:
1. Don't buy this wing if you are a beginner and say cannot foot swap, loop in your gibes, etc. That said, this wing is easily accessible to an intermediate and up rider. You don't need to be an advanced foiler to enjoy the T1.
2. Don't buy this wing if you are happy mowing the lawn on your existing foil and aren't looking to be challenged re: new skills and muscle memory - this cool, no criticism intended, each to their own re: foiling preferences
3. Don't buy this wing if you aren't willing to put in a few sessions learning how to ride the T1 and unlock its amazing performance envelope. This wing isn't for "point and click" riders.
In sum, its an amazing wing but you have to be at the point in your foiling where you want to change things up and try something new.
If you are happy with your existing stab+fuse setup that is great. Keep riding it. And when you start feeling a bit bored and "locked-in" with your traditional foil, then you are ready for the T1.
You can check out videos of the T1 riding in a variety of conditions here: https://www.tritonfoils.com/videos.html
Thanks Mike for reaching out and for an honest and understandable question.
