Really don’t bother with the ART Pro’s, they turn like crap. Our lot on para in Brisbane on bay bumps are on Fireballs or Surges. I’m on the Surge 1010, such an easy wing to para on, great glide with excellent turning.
Hit me up if you want to try one, I’m 1 minute from Queens North.

I'm gonna be hitting QBN way more this season, usually I was at Margs. Keen to meet up and give it a go! thanks!

Looking for a foil with similar glide to the 1201 but easier to turn, the 1201 is awesome for staying on foil but turns like a barge. I have the art V2 999 which is great but I cant keep it up on foil flagged out for very long.

Anyone compared these two?

Goal is to use it to Parawing upwind/ ride bumps downwind in bay swell.

Cheers

Are you looking for Waves or Flat water?

I've kited boracay in the past, and i wouldnt think its that great for winging. Like you say, busy as **, reef is a problem, and i cant see there being any decent wind swell at bulabog. Maybe further north on the island outside of that sheltered zone.

We did El Union and Siargao in December, both had no wind, but decent swell. Siargao looked super hectic on the inside of the reef breaks. Then again i could imagine it would be awesome with a decent seabreeze north of Cloud 9, in the bay area, as Its deep and the swell runs all the way through into the bay. But i cant find any written reviews or experiences on the spot at all - no one was foiling out there, and the sport is so fickle probably because of the expense. The locals can barely afford a surfboard let alone thousands of $$ on foiling kit.

I reckon (like with anything travelling) you really just need to pack up your lightest and smallest gear and just head over there and stay for as long as you can, scoping out every spot possible, and using that experience for the next year. I spent hours researching Siargao for surfing, but when I was actually there, it turns out it wasnt as good as I thought it would be - I dont think i'll return, but just use it as knowledge for the next trip.
