Seems like a little bit of influence from wing boards to the untrained (me) eye

Rounded and smoothed everything, just like the man himself.

Looks like it's missing a set of forward strap inserts.

Interesting take on windsurf foil boards from the manufacturers Goya 105 might be compared to the slingshot 115 freestyle the goya is about the same length but is only 66cm wide 71 cm for the SS don't know any specs.on the 105 severne. Slingshot seem to be the only ones that have gone really short.The Goya 105 has the tract mounts pretty far forward maybe to help with it use of a wingding,i do like the sail mast tract being that far back. On a side note I have seen guys trying to learn on the SS 105 wizard and they seem to have to be careful not to stuff the nose when slogging. I tried to buy a 115 SS but they are all sold out in the US as are most of the wizards I'll have to stick with my wizard 125 for now.

G'Day,

I sold my Windfoil stuff as I was only winging the last couple of months. Now I miss windsurfing and need a new board. Anyone out there who had the opportunity to test the 120l Airbolt pro? I really like the look of the board and the fact that it is something different. And the fact that it is not too wide, as I am too heavy to Freeride foil with outward straps...

Out of curiosity when you were windfoiling did you still sail on the fin sometimes? Or were you windfoiling exclusively?

I just had a look at my tracker. Out of roughly 90 days on the water in 2020 I had 7 days fin surfing. The rest was either wave-paddling or foiling, wind or wing.

Do you plan on doing more fin sailing or foil sailing?

Hi theedor,

I would love to do more fin surfing, unfortunately our spot is in a gusty low-wind area. For me that would be 9.5m sail and 50% slogging. I rather use a 7m or 8m on a windfoilboard or my 6m Ensis wing on the wing board.

I'm going to make some.
The board shape is almost irrelevant, as long as you can claim some bevel that won't catch on touchdowns, its a winner.

You're probably right. But volume distribution is important.
