Around 82kg right now. I've winged the 75L v1 and it's great but I'm trying to parawing and surprisingly it's not super easy!

getting up switch with an inflatable wing is super inefficient because you can't generate enough power pumping the wing

Do you mean toeside?

From memory he said the single skin was a few months away and should be really simple / beginner friendly. Keen to see what they've been cooking.

I really didn't get along with the Quest because of the bad low end, coming from the Frigate v1. I felt like the Frigate had lowend equal to a 0,5m bigger Quest riding them back to back on 3 different occasions.

This seems to be one of the biggest issues with parawings, nailing down the truth. I've seen so many people hyping the quest low end 😂

Not hyping it but I find it’s got good low end coming from the pocket rocket v1. The biggest difference is that it has a good range of angle with low end. A lot of other parawing ive tried like a specific angle which is often not aligned with swell. Quest allows for me to harness wave energy more flexibility even if the real low end “pull” is the grutiest.

Thanks, that's a great explanation.

I'd love to know how the hatch compares when you get it. I'm currently tossing up between a 5m quest and hatch v2. Speed isn't what I want and it seems that's what frigate v2 is designed towards.

I have both. They are both intuitive to use and have good low end. The Quest has a much simpler bridle system which makes it a bit easier to douse and redeploy and also less prone to tangles. The Frigate has a bit more performance when loaded and turns a bit faster. They are both very good PWs. The bars and harness lines are very different. I prefer the Quest harness line.

Tyvm. Just to confirm, when you say frigate you mean hatch?

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.

Don't forget that all the gear is more expensive in the US due to tariffs.
For example, Ozone is about 30% more expensive than in Canada.

That price is 60%+ higher 👀

First US retailer I've seen list them. Including wind range and specs. More expensive than I was expecting. F-One site is also under construction - wouldn't surprise me if we saw them officially launched this week (also AWSI).

Has to be placeholder pricing. That's more expensive in USD than they are here in AUD.

Unless my dealer in Japan is kidding me... Yeah, I'm getting a 5.0 in a month.
But I'll believe it when I see it:)

Asked a local dealer and they confirmed no 5m, goes straight from 4.5 to 5.5m. It's a shame, I was hoping for a 5m too.

I had no issues with my airbank puffer pro from Ali Express, onsold to a mate who is still using it without issue.
I upgraded to the airbank pulse pro which is fantastic, really quick and has a few QOL improvements.

I'm firmly in the pro electric pump camp, one of the best purchases I've made.

I'm not sure all statements are correct but it's worth reading it

I feel like the former disqualifies the latter.

What level of skill would make frigate 2 be worthwhile over the quest?

I've had a shocking team learning with my 4m PT skin, generally under or overpowered. I've

Already ordered a 5.0 here, but now I see this and I wonder what's the purpose for those holes...

You sure it's a 5m? Haven't seen that size mentioned.

The cut outs are just weight saving afaik, 777 etc use them too.

A bunch of clips popping up today, guess they relaxed the influencer embargo.

◐ Targeted weight reduction (relieved canopy)
Cutouts are made on the diagonals and the front of the wingtips to save weight without losing performance. The rear areas are deliberately not relieved, since they bear significant pulling angles linked to the dynamic dual bridle. This makes relaunch more technical and reserves the wing for already-experienced riders (full detail in Part 4).

There don't seem to be further details on this, interested to know more on the more technical relaunch.

I enjoy Gav's videos but I'm starting to take them more as interesting foiling content, rather than as gear reviews.
