25-30 knot southerly and chaotic windswells

My gybes and port tack downwinders are pretty ropey, lacking strength in my left leg and trying to protect the ACL graft - but super-stoked to be foiling again in a proper breeze

Apologies for the crazy image stabilization applied in the editing software to smooth out camera shakes - it was windy. Thanks Mark for filming.

Infinity 65 wings

It looks like he's using a 3.4 -- No? Is the other a 3.7?

How good is the Infinity 65 wing

Easily survives a wing-tip breach (2:30 in vid) and pretty fast (21.46 knots) in crazy chop.

I totally agree about the 65 wing. I used it on the river on Sunday. It is such a fun wing, fast and turny and great for jumping.
Hats off to JJ, just goes to show that sometimes mind over matter works, doing what he's doing so soon after such a bad knee injury is amazing...keep wearing that brace...tight!!

another vote for the i65. Insanely fun wing! If you're foiling in over 20mph winds it's really tough to beat.
