I have this foil and noticed when wiping it down last night with a damp cloth there was lots more drag when passing over the graphics.
Would this be noticeable?
Especially as the graphics are not symmetrical.

Poor if looking for smooth performance and speed.
I had this on a set back a bit and sanded smooth finishing with 1200 grit.

Wow, lots of graphics on this foil.... definitely not a good thing but I guess it shouldn't matter too much with an entry level model

Re: Foil vinyl create noticable drag
I am rubbish, just managed to gybe. Just wondering if it will pull on 1 side more than the other. No harm to remove them i guess.
