I think I might need a foil now. Our WB boat only throws a decent port side wake, so I'm usually riding heelside, being goofy. Wouldn't matter with a foil (heck, wouldn't even have to fill additional 1/2 ton+ of bags -Just run whatca brung).

In addition, with a foil, I could move much further back on the wake (although looks like all the fun is inside the boat).

It's their new wake foil. However, it really looks like the larger Dwarf and their usual foil setup. Perhaps there's a tweak or two due to the lower speeds behind a boat (we don't wakesurf much as it burns a lot of fuel and it's a pain to setup, but we're only going around 10-12 mph). Would be cool if it's just the same setup. |

Wasn't there someone a week or two ago doing this on a Dwarfcraft and a Stringyfoil? And the poster did not have more than a day of crashing with kite/foil. _________________ CGKA Member

Yup, sure enough. Found the thread below. This definitely has me looking at my checking account (it's full of moths, if wondering). |

That's not the new TRex convert they were showing pictures of at the show? |
