Winter time in our neck of the woods but we've scored some nice late afternoon sessions in January.

Still blows my mind how efficient you can fly these foils. I was on a 6.7 (90 kilos) light to puffy winds and flying...love it :)

Great vid as always Coreas. How do you like the jp 135. What foil were you using?

Thanks CAN17

The drone angle is my favorite and I'm lucky to have a local kite Foiler that's also an excellent drone pilot get the footage needed for me.

I have been using the Naish Thrust with 90cm mast on the JP 135 and it's been working extremely well.

For a year, I only used the NP/F4 foil on the JP but that I feel is a completely different beast. Super quick, great upwind and downwind angles but very difficult to foil gybe in light winds. Really good racing foil.

I decided to bolt a Tuttle head adapter on the Naish 90 and it's one of the smoothest combinations I've tried, very fun!

The JP 135 pro has been an amazing board for my weight... The length and width I think is perfect if you foil in crazy gusty places. The construction is solid and still going strong.

This is week I used the slingshot Hover foil and the results have been incredible also, it foiled the JP up quicker than any other foil. Lots more testing to do though on that one.
