2019 Naish 142 & Thrust foil

First time out yesterday on the 2019 Naish Hover and 2019 Thrust foil with 70cm mast (90cm is on order).

Conditions were trickey (puffy cross off, ranging from nothing to 12-13 knots).

I weigh 90kgs using a Naish 7.0 Noa sail with adjustable outhaul. The board is very comfortable with plenty of float, the new abracadabra quick release plate is genius!

Looking forward to trying it in a variety of a wind conditions. Overall it is a very nice foiling freeride performance...I tweaked out just over 18.5 knots on a puff.

I did buy this board for stronger winds (as I have other equipment for super light wind conditions) but was pleasantly surprised how it performed in light conditions. The Thrust foil fuselage had modifications (the annoying nut falling out of rear wing adjustment has changed and the rear of the fuselage is sturdier than 2018).

Overall very pleased With this combo and much looking forward to taking it out in stronger winds ??

Nice setup and video

I have the same foil with 90cm mast.
It really shines down-winding ocean swells in stronger winds (tested up to 25 knots) with a 5m wave sail.

Thank you...I like how easy it is to foil and very much looking forward to getting the 90cm mast.

I also have the NP/F4 foil and at 95cm, I do prefer a longer mast.

Its still summer time time over here, we won't get a good down winder/swell winds for a few months, but can imagine the fun this set up will be in those type of conditions :)
