Starboard SLX665cm2 fun๐๐
Testing the Starboard SLX 665cm2 in 12knots of wind to see what its capable of! Picks up quick, pumps well, glides forever, oh and did someone say fast! 27knots top speed in 12 knots of wind, I'll take that!
Paired with the Starboard X15 Class board and PPC M1-R SDS 5.5M wing ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Wearing the Forward WIP Steamer MK3 wetsuit and Wipper 2.0 helmet for if it goes wrong ๐

Fin & Foil at Cheddar Reservoir โ thatโs a proper day out. Loads of demos, good people, plenty of socialising, and just enough wind to earn itโฆ so naturally, lots of pumping ๐
The kind of session where you come home tired, buzzing, and somehow still talking about gear. Cheddar delivered.
Push until you CRASH...๐๐๐ฅ
A couple of speed runs from the Thursdays fun! Loving the new challenge I've set myself. Trying to get to 30 knots!

Day 1 done here in Naples. Lots of good things to bring out of today and lots to learn. But a few crashes ment some average results. Pushing tomorrow to try and make the gold fleet!
Sunny speed runs๐๐ค๐๐
Out on my race/speed kit for a change in the beautiful sunshine. Lots to work on after seeing the footage. Increased ride height, shorter harness line and wing lower to start off with. Any tips welcomed!? Please...
27knot peak and 7 runs over 26knots 2 sec split so a good starting point especially since it was only 13knots average wind.
First go on the PPC M1-R SDS and hugely impressed!๐ pulls like a train and just accelerates in the gusts. Super stable and inspires you to go faster and push harder! Try one out you won't be disappointed! Huge thanks to @ppcfoiling.uk and Richard Hobson aka speed GOD for letting me borrow this one!๐
Riding the Starboard X15 class board and Starboard SLX 465cm2 front wing, SLX 130cm2 stab and C400 Solid core race mast. Love this foil! Fast with great acceleration and a suprising bottom end to get you going!โค๏ธ๐
Wearing the Forward WIP Steamer wetsuit, Wipper 2.0 helmet and Wingy shades! Always wear protection when pushing yourself!โ๏ธ

Still managing the adrenaline after the @holy.moly.league racing last weekend. The brilliant format (no results, a race every 10 mins) allows you to hone your skills, take risks and have fun!
With a huge range of kit in use. It's super accessible.
In 35knots of wind @superfoiling and I were battling to stay upright.
Already looking forward to the next one.
Don't miss it!
Thanks all the support @ppcfoiling.uk
The 4m M1 was perfect!
