Another great vid, keep them coming please Rob
You looked like you were embracing your inner Peter Garrett a couple of time there
Lumpy Friday Arvo fun , towing on the Axis 799 chopped to 747 . Shot on the Insta 360 X2 cam with pole lowered to see the foil more , 6 min Vid but cool watch .
Rob, thanks for posting even though I'm quite jealous of your tow setup and long point waves! Looks so epic.
That South swell is heading towards us now, and should light up my spot here in the US mainland.
"embracing your inner Peter Garrett" took a few moments, but hilarious! Saw the Oils a few years back and they were just as tight and powerful as in the 80's.
Haha thanks and yeah I need a set of pockets for my hands , I do the same pumping its so bad.
Absolutely love it , its so light a stiff . The 85 is amazing on the tow wing but the 78 on the prone took a few sessions to used to it as I was so used to the flex but now I'm all over it . The pump is so much more direct and everything just feels more positive. It seems to defy physics that is so light and small but so incredibly stiff . It's an absolute work of art .
Wow interesting ,I wonder how they get it stiffer and lighter ? Up till now the only way to get a stiffer mast was with more carbon and therefore more weight.

Just hearing now that plenty of the NL mast are breaking.
Ow that's not good,I don't know much about carbon but maybe light and stiff = brittle too ?

It was enough of a problem they reengineered it to have a leash inside now.
Hooked up with PB one of the Sydney Lost Boys foil crew & tested out the Unifoil Vyper 130 , such a great foil & fun morning at Straddie
So good to see Kai ripping. The critical takeoff to air and ride out of white water at the end... sheesh. Go Ginxu!
Dailing in a new tail for the Gf gear.
Crisp 333 - wasn't sure what to expect but very happy with the results. Rs650 is proving to be an extremely versatile foil, wing, prone and tow from tiny to massive.
Incredible 2 weeks here in central Florida thanks to Hurricane Earl sitting off our coast for as long as it did. Put together an edit of some of our local crew from the early days of the swell before it got into the tow only range for foils. Armstrong 925, Lift 170 and I believe a Unifoil Vyper.

That's great video
Thanks Piros! Your videos are pretty rad, about time I returned the favor.

Old mate on the 925 is going well, covering some ground quick on the pump.
Yeah, Gordon has that 925 wired. Honestly can't believe he isn't sponsored yet.
Yes. A great video. I like it when the paddle ins are shown. It gives the viewer a better understanding of the conditions the rider is in.
