Very nice vid and great editing, the drone shots are the best.
the wizard 130 burning and turning once again, that board is seriously impressive even when the wind picks up.
no back foot strap I noticed Jesper?

Hi CoreAS

Yes Thomas has some amazing skills with the drone + editing.
We are pretty lucky when he starts to buzz around us and spoil us with some nice clips etc.

Also it was the first time out on the 130L Wizard, - that didn't disappoint :).
It was quite a windy day with 4.2 and the Infinity 76cm setup

For the back foot straps or not. I prefer to have none on the 130L ( and the previous 125L), as the ability to move the back foot slightly for each turn / carving, to match the power in the sail and on the foil is beneficial. But saying this , then every foiler is different and some prefer them on and some don't.

For the board below the 130L I would use the back strap

Like you said - amazing range for a 130L board + the 'standard 76cm wing set up"

Great stuff!

The only time I really use the single back strap is carving off the wind and cranking back up on a swell face other than that I am like you as I prefer to constantly move the back foot around.

Of all the wings I found the i76 the most difficult to get super dialed in on the W125, but with the W130 twin tracks I move the base plate back to #1.5 or #2 and now the i76 feels perfect.

Keep up he great vids guys, super inspirational
