Pease just wondering if anyone has had any experience with both the NL220 & GL210 GoFoil front Wings and if you can please tell me your experience / performance differences between the two? (also I have the GL180 & I love it but am wanting more of a pumping / gliding different better feel etc, - & a brand new NL220 is now on sale from GoFoil Australia for only $450 so is this a good deal for me?:-) Thanks:-)

The new GoFoils are a quantum leap. The RS850 gives amazing glide and pump. @105kg this gets up as easily as the GTS1400 but glides and pumps better. Yep it costs more but it is that much better.
The NL stands for Next Level. So pretty sure you want that one. Of course, the new ones stand for Ridiculous Speed. So you'll probably want to get on those eventually.
Bargain is a bargain.
I would opt for the NL over the GL. Much larger speed range. Better foil all around. Absolutely nothing wrong with a Gl210 but it's getting older now. Just cut the tips of the 220.

Ok I see but why cut the tips off better to just take the sharp edges off a bit, don't they help with ventilation etc?:-)

For us mere mortals the safety outweighs the performance.
Yeah got it:-)
John did you ever get the NL220 ? I have been riding one recently in comparison to the M200. It takes off very horizontally and needs little lifting of the front foot, I find it foils very similar to the M200 but maybe has a little more speed, haven't tried the GL210 yet and will probably aim for the newer RS foils if I can, love to hear your feedback

Yes Sultan I did & I think it is good maybe a bit too good / fast for me so I went back to my gl180 and as I prefer the pump of it for now but I need to catch more waves / better conditions to get a better option, also I have only really tried the M200 once (the size / weight puts me off:-)
