wingfoiling

Cruising on a novelty Western wind in the clear waters of Kauai in mid January. ☀️

Riding the awesome Onix Osprey 1250 foil and 6m PPC M1 wing. I did have to pump more than usual to get on foil with the winds dropping under 10mph, but once up on foil it was no problem to hook in and head up wind. The Onix foil glide was great, especially considering how small the bumps were, and it turns very easy. No problem staying on foil in probably 8mph of wind. Also lately been paring the Onix foil with the NoLimitz 72cm mast. It is so unbelievably stiff given that it’s under 3lbs.

The PPC M1 wing has been incredible. I love how stiff the leading edge is compared to every other brand I have tried. There is no deflection whatsoever while pumping. It’s also super well balanced as I could hold on with just a pinkie while hooked in. I am looking forward to riding this 6m wing for several seasons, unlike other dacron wings that bag out after 1 season of heavy use.

The 5’8 114L Cabrinha Code shapes helps to be a lot faster to get on foil with greatly tucked rails. I think it would also make a good downwind board for those around 160lbs.

In addition to the awesome performance, what I love about Onix is that they design and manufacture their foils in Tarifa, Spain, not some random overseas factory. And they innovate by hugely reducing the waste in the manufacturing process. Their foil molds only use 3kg of plant based plastic, compared to the traditonal factory which uses 100kg of aluminum. Onix also has a great exchange program, where they re-furbish old foils. Sam @Sam_Carentz and the Onix team have been a huge pleasure to work with.
