Great footage, smooth carves as usual.

Never really felt comfortable on the infinity 65 but after watching that I think I'll breakout the old hoverglide and give it a go. I have been riding high aspect wings for awhile now so going back to the 65 I will have to react a lot quicker in the jibes.

Thanks JJ.
The 65 is a great wing for lighter foilers. I can use it with a 5m in a steady 15knts (4.1 in the video about 18-20, 75kg)and once you have the feel for it you will go faster and ride the bumps with confidence you are not going to breach.
Gybing needs a tighter arc, more speed and a bit of back foot pressure to keep the nose up then you will find it easier than the bigger wings.
Give it a go, definite my preferred set up
