My attention was drawn to the app foil run for measuring upwind and down wind performance. Below is an example of where my Vmg seems to consistently top out using my Toyota PW.
i have some Ferrari’ in the form of an orbit and a afterburner to see how much better they are at going up wind for me
7 effective VMG Prv2 but I have seen others with obviously more skill than me push the same wing to 7.6 kt vmg.
it would be great if some of you could upload your gpx files to foil run and we can compare some of these PW’s

so have you VMG’d your sports cars yet?

All i know is we had 10 crew out yesterday with varying parawing brands and types and everyone of them was getting ripped downwind, struggled to start getting pulled off the board … and I hadn’t even reached the top end of my 4.5 frigate and was happily ripping upwind on the downwind run to come back to the strugglers to ride with them.

I have to start tracking my sessions.

I find being powered up with a parawing with good top end helps me alot when going upwind.
