Towing into long period stuff on my sK8 v1 / XXXS Carving180 tail/ 85mast, been putting the hours in but still coming unstuck too much when there's even small chop or any reverb at all,. And those are big stacks. Tapping into a whole lot more energy than even fully lit winging
any tips on milking Sk8 top end? aside from buying another foil
Try smaller Tail. Depending on your weight you could give it a try on the Carving XS 140
Smaller Tail means less drag and results in more speed
