Still got the paint chips? I'm hungry and I bet they are tasty. _________________ MSN has temporarily removed commenting on our websites while we explore better ways for you to engage in discussion on the issues you care about. |

I got one of the first Alien's and it came with the solid green. I was just in Maui and used the 24 inch mast and the progression came quick. Can't wait to get back on the water. |

I second Pat Daniels, on the learning to foil with these. Yesterday was my second try on the 24" mast after trying a 35" and having my ass handed to me. MUCH easier and the best tip I can give new riders is to try and just ride and control the board before trying to engage the foil. This made learning the fine balance much easier...
Still have a long way to go but Tony really made a good move providing different masts sizes. |

So how are these foils after learning? Are they a fun foil or are they just to slow and stiff? |

Still having fun on my Slingshot Hover Glide NF2! It's a good foil for general riding. Probably not many race winners on it since it has a medium top end speed, but very solid on the water and still fun after initial learning process. |
