@Scheggia

As already noted by others, the bar pressure on the PR V2 is definitely not light by average standards. I have a 5 and consider it to be heavy, much heavier than I would like it to be (bought it as soon as it was available without trying it out first).

In contrast, the bar pressure on my 777 Hybrid 4.3 is a delight. AoA control and micro adjustments are very "comfortable", both hooked-in and unhooked.

Since I've never flown the LTX, I'd like to ask how you compare its bar pressure to the Hybrid. This might help me understand your frame of reference and the probable impact of having less double-skin chord-wise.

Hahaha. Too funny

I am a life long surfer and get in the ocean almost everyday. I started foiling in 2015 and have enjoyed the very start of every foiling discipline since, including winging, SUP DW, prone since 2017 and have done over 200 parawing sessions since the V1 PR came out in April last year. All of them chasing bumps. I would say that makes me pretty open minded and experienced enough to know what I am seeing and hearing. I also have some great contacts.

Not sure why you think I have ruled out a 777 hybrid for our gusty frontal wind with a range from 15 to 30 knots.

That's why we are here mate. If I had the money to just buy all the wings I wouldn't need to come here. We all come here to share and hopefully cut through the rubbish of marketing and influencing with integrity.

As just one example of learning here was watching Bryan post his angles over 12 months and then see the LTX angles that just aren't up to scratch with what he achieved on a v1 pocket rocket. I don't have to ride the LTX to know that if i am looking for a generational improvement in upwind performance then the LTX might not be where I need to go. I understand that you love the LTX for your use case but you convinced me not to get one for my use case and i must thank you for saving me money. You have also have convinced me not to speculate on a PPC orbit. I appreciate your reviews Bryan and I feel they are pretty fair and particularly if you can read between the lines for your use case.

scheggia I mostly remain quiet but when i see some hypocrisy or disingenuousness then i will call it out. Again I am reading between the lines as that's what we have to do in order not to waste time and money. The funny thing is I don't need to ride those wings to be critical of the approach to the judgements you are making. Just lots of experience will do. Its not the first time I have felt compelled to call you out.

Had my first go on the Orbit 3.5m.

I have an upwind that is kind of a benchmark. It’s about 12 minutes every time. A little more or a little less depending on the wind, sail and foil.
First try on the orbit: 7:51

It's not perfect. I have some things to sort out with it. However, that level of improvement on upwind is something that cannot be ignored.
