F4 have released a new GP95 HM mast for 2024 and I had to have one. I'll write a proper review soon but for now here are some photos of the gear. Looks good with the new Wahoo foils out of a new factory with very tight tolerance and quality control.














First ride looks like being Saturday And I can't wait!

I've only managed a 30min test ride of new Wahoo 366 front Foil, 170 tail and 95 GP slim profile slalom mast. The new set is so slippery through the water, powerful and reactive to foot pressure. I need to try again and hopefully without being overpowered, my 5.0 Patrik Race SF was great but got overpowered in the stronger winds while the swell was under 15cm it was still too much for me to push comfortably.
More to come.

joining in with feedback as soon as I sailed the new gp setup, will take still a few weeks although.

First impressions... "Wahoo".

I'm still waiting for more time on water... but I achieved one of my goals, 30kts on first day out with the 366. I was not really in control, well overpowered with 5.0 sail but the new gear managed to impress me with smooth speed, the feeling of slicing through the water, control, minimum speeds, oh and a few catapults.





















The 540 got out on day 2 in barely 12 kts and I was sceptical it would work, but again very impressed with low power mode. As a light wind slalom foil, a bit of solid pumping is rewarded with some of the best glide I've ever felt on a foil. More to find in the top end for sure... but I need more wind for that.















I'll update this thread soon, but no wind forecast for a week now.
