Hectic 30 knot seabreeze, as strong as it gets, super-powered on 4m

Good test for my new Wizard 90L

Really sweet, looks like the point upwind keeps the shorebreak from being too nuts in that wind? Plenty of power!

Not for the faint of heart. Way to go.

That is a lot of wing for 30 knots!, I would be on an AFS S670 cm2 wing in those conditions, but then I would not be doing foiling gybes. Guessing bigger wing makes foiling gybes easier.

Nice work as usual azymuth. That's a lot of sail for 30 knots. Crazy hard conditions!!. Love the 90L board. Wish I had the wind to use one.

sweet. How do you compare the volume of the wizard 90 to the freestyle 87. do you the numbers (litres) seem accurate?

Yes, both seem about 90L. I'm 82 kgs and sink them both if not moving.

90 is a little easier to get up on foil because of the wide tail but harder than the 87 to slog because it's shorter.
The 90's "no nose" is super-nice flying downwind because there's nothing to dig into swells.

The 87 looks better

Wow you have seen the light with the no-nose.
I just added some volume and the slogging problem does not exist.
146 cm x 73cm at100L
I'm 95 kg
The next one will be narrower

The disclaimer
My boards work for me with my style they probably won't work for 99.99% of the folks here.......

Sorry about the pictures using some new tablet and I'm just done fighting with tech junk anyways so I just let it ride.....
Love the videos keep them coming.
