Jordy Vonk at 2:20

This year foils are faster around the race course than medium slalom boards and 7.8s Fins faster in the straights, foils win the corners.

Later on mentions new 75cm Fanatic foil race board. So much for trope of "PWA 91cm boards"

Interesting interview, seems moving toward smaller wings and boards for now, look forward to seeing if anyone can come close to matching Nico in 2022

Seems like there is a need for 350, 500, and 750 foils, at least 2 stabs, and the willingness to come in and change when windspeeds change.

3.6-3.8 degree rake with new style flat rocker boards for Jordy! More power and better touch-downs... apparently.
