Up to 3 DIY foil designs built and getting the hang of wingsurf foiling as we switch into 2021.
Nice riding Gunnar. From the way the water looks in the video it appears to be a pretty light wind session. Any idea of what the wind speed was that day? Eagerly awaiting your W950 impressions.

Thanks Gunnar. I’m also waiting for the w950 and takoon review.
Also about your board here, is is 79 Indiana? And looks like it planes very early as you are not a lightweight either? Do you see any use for bigger board at your weight?

Hi OMG,
Yes it´s the 79RS from Indiana. It is my "Big" board for light winds. I don´t need bigger. Yes. It accelerates onto the foil very quickly as it has a scoop-rockerline that is designed for maximum acceleration and does not have any gimmicks like double concaves, Cutouts or Kicktails which all stick the boards to the water and prevent quick acceleration.
