That Goya 84 2015 was an amazing board (owned one myself) pretty flat, fast rocker with just a bit of tail kick and relative far backfoot position where you stand almost behind the back fins, making it feel like a twin. Quite a different then most but briliant shape


I think that if you use it as a twin with decent sized fins and the strap more to the back, so standing straight above them, you get the max Goya feel out of your quad.

I very much agree with what Windybear has written.
The Netherlands is just under 1,000 km further along the North Sea coast (probably same kinda conditions and possibly worse because the UK blocks our waves).
We don’t get any real ocean swell. 9 out of 10 days it’s wind-driven, so if the waves have a 7-second period, we consider that a long swell, 4-5sec between waves is more normall.
At the same time, we do have wind often enough for wing/parawing.
I went out with Para three times last week, but it could easily have been five sessions.
If there’s too little wind but some leftover waves, I’ll go SUP foiling on my DW board.
For here, it would mainly be in that gap between swells that are too far out and just too flat offshore to paddle out to, and not enough wind.
For that, it’s too big an investment for me.
What doesn’t help either: I absolutely HATE the noise those things make.
Have 10 out and the buzzing around absolute kills my peace of being on the water.
I once borrowed one for three days – with a fancy mast and trench board – in good ocean waves, and I get that such toys have their merits, but even then I found the noise unbearable and after two days I preferred to go back to my SUP foil.
Yes, with an FD you catch ten times as many waves, but I don’t know – I missed some of the satisfaction of catching a wave that I do get from the SUP foil.
Its just not for anyone/everywhere.

I had the same issue and somehow it felt scary to hover "really" high above the water.
I fixxed it by going from an 90cm Cedrus mast to an 80cm AFS mast,
Going shorter is another way to have less mast in the water😜.

Riding once in a whil in clear water also helps, then you can look below and see how much there is still in. Unfortunally that is in my case only in holidays because the visibility at my home spots is very low.

I tried the UG41 with the Enduro 1300 for super lightwind Wingfoil and it makes the set up a bit faster and looser, but you still have an 119cm span so don,t expect miracles in turnability. Moving a hole forward makes the set up more maneuvrable but that makes it also more technical i pumping and I,m not that good in that so I stick to the back set up.

With my Enduro900 and Pure HA1100 the UG41 is a really performance booster. faster, more glide and better turning compared to the HA stabs.

@ dieseagull. every time I see your username I have this song playing in my head 😂:


What to do after your Evo...
I think it very much depends where you use it.
In steeper waves the Silk V2 is amazing,yesterday I used the 1050 V2 in sideshorish with some nice rideable steeper swell and waves and there it shines.
Today same spot but dead onshore and flatter swell, then the Silk V2 has it more difficult to keep up in speed. I used in similar conditions the Enduro 1100 and 900 with an UG41 and they have a lot more glide and are easier to keep up with that flatter swell. I still think the Enduro is a very good foil for most conditions with more glide as an Silk V2 but is outperformed by the Silk V1 and V2 in turning and control on a wave.
diff between V1 and V2: V2 has more speed and more glide but as far as I noticed in 3 sessions still not the Enduro or Pure HA glide.
a foil that i,m not gonna buy but also looks very intersting to me for DW glide is the EvoHA. From what I hear very good glide and lower stall speed as the Pure HA due the big camber profile (but not as turny as an Enduro).

@Patronus: I use the V2 aprox 2cm more to the front as the V1, but it also depends on what stab I use.
Because the not so intersting conditions I tried different setups today with the 1050 V2.
Liked the most: U Surf 135, imo best pitch control and best turning
Uglide 41, same mast position as the U surf, Pitch: inbetween the Usurf and Ucarve most glide, less tight turning.
U carve 140: Not sure if it faster, but has for sure a bit more glide while still turning really tight and sharp. Tjis comes at the cost of pitchcontrol, and I need to put the mast with the Ucarve a bit (1-2cm )to the front.
I think the Ucarve has 80% of the U-surf and the U-glide, but again, a bit sensitive on the pitch. For those who know the Kparts Mako Carve V2...very much like that one but with more glide.

For those who wonder:
I,m not sponsored, no team or whateverdeal but also no kids, both me and my wife have a busy job, so thats why we can afford toys that we like.
I don,t care much about fancy clothes or wining and dining, but fancy foils....🥰😍

When ordering mine I was a bit in doubt between do I stay with the same CM2 or with the same wingspan, because the V2,s have for the same span less cm2.
In most cases I will benefit from a bit more speed and glide as with the V1,s so that is why I stayed with the same CM2 anticipating that they might top out slightly earlier as the V1,s with less span.
Back home in the netherlands the V1 850 is rare for me to use (97kg) because the lesser glide , so for me personally I think its an great upgrade and I will use the V2 850 a lot more. The only but is that more span has slightly less control (wich was no suprise, but again confirmed).
Its not really good or bad, more a matter of what gains do you want at what cons.

I tried today the Usurf 132 tail with my Silk V2 850 in 25-30knots wind and 2-2.5m Ocean waves (had a really nice day at Viana do Castello Portugal).
The Usurf 132 is quite fast (my Garmin said that i was going 22.2 knots while waveriding,
heaps of grip making it a tight turning combo whiled feels very much in control due great pitchstability.
Glide was still okay (it isnt an Uglide but the UG can,t turn like this).
I think I got a new favourite tail! :)
