I’m a bit mixed emotion with thin long board. Over 6’ it’a starting to be uncomfortable to sit down on the board and untangle the lines under the nose…because it does happen!! So all the boards over 6’2-6’4…you can’t really labelled that as a Pw board.

I’ve never been a fan of heavy boards or ultra-lite also, for windsurfing, surfing and also winging/parawing. I think boards need to be a certain weight to keep momentum and smooth the ride. Unless you want to do air or I guess in foiling wiping the nose all over the place or pump pump and pump. At my level, and ability, I think I prefer a certain weight. So…if a hollow board is just liter, it will be sad…hope they are stronger, more solide foil board connection…repaie easily and you can ding it and continue to ride and repaie later.

It improves by experience, but the grunt is not like a wing for sure. Pull the trigger on a good used V1/v2 and start practicing now then refine on the proper frigate sizes next season?
I don’t know what are your conditions, but the mistake I did was picking a parawing size (4m) based on what I wanted to do(enough wind to have decent bumps…)

The issue, I did not had a lot of TOW. I should have picked a 5m and practice more and when figure it out If i like it or not, nailed down my quiver with proper size. Unless money is not an issue and you can buy a whole quiver?

Gav references the same low end compromise as Tucker. Ive also heard some commentary around how the sail doesn't fly very stable at the low end of its range. Coming from the Quests, I was really considering these, but not loving the sound of this.



I almost did not bought the quest after Gav's review last time. When I tested it agains't a friend who was on a wingfoil, what a surprise!(Low VMG and slow to react)

On my quest 3.5 vs him on a strike 3.5, I was slightly going more upwind than my friend on his 3.5 strike..and I was a small notch faster on upwind reach as well. It also has good grunt.

It's now live on the f-one site. They rate both the low end and high end at 95%.
MacKite review is really the outlier so far.

Ahhh, reviews by youtubers….
You ride a product, use it and think, “Wow, this is incredibly annoying. Surely people must have mentioned this.”
So you go read the reviews… and it’s nothing but endless 5-star ratings:
“Best product ever!”
“Game changer!”
“Absolutely love it!”
Not a single word about the annoying behavior that drives you crazy every time you use it.
Then the next version is released, and suddenly the reviews say:
“Finally, they fixed that issue!”
