Ditched the double skin wing tips. With V2s will be interesting times for PW.

I like the look of that bar ..

I prototyped a bar like that a while ago, it feels great

For me it goes upwind the same or maybe just a little better than my 4.2 Flow in 20-25 but it's a lot less work on long upwind legs.

You would definitely have longer arms after using a 4.2m flow in 25 knots.

It's work for sure, but I've modded the bridle a bit and I think I get a little better performance and top end out of it vs stock.

So what is the consensus on the Paia?

Does it work well in gusty winds or more suited to steady wind.
My spot can be 10- 25knts and my 4.3 pocket rocket is very challenging.

I think it partly depends on what type of gusty winds you are in. I find that near the bottom end of it's range, in the same way that a parawing takes a longer lasting gust to get on foil vs an inflatable wing, the Paia takes longer than a single skin wing. So if you have short punchy gusts, you might be frustrated on the Paia. But if you get longer sustained gusts with lulls in between you might be happy since the top end does feel pretty much unlimited. I have a 4.5 and it starts around 20-22kt for me and gets good at 25. I think the windiest I've been on it so far is 30kt gusts, but never felt overpowered. For me it goes upwind the same or maybe just a little better than my 4.2 Flow in 20-25 but it's a lot less work on long upwind legs.

does it matter where in la ventana you stay or can you foil at any place along the beach. What is the best place (eg campground, south of campground)? Looking for a place where no car is needed and I can simply carry my board/wing to the beach from an Airbnb.

and how do you get from Los Cabos airport to la ventana best if you do not want to rent a car? Are there any shuttles that also carry boards?

You can foil from pretty much anywhere, some areas have a little bit of reef and cobblestones in the water but the drop off is pretty quick and it's easy in and out. La Tuna and Playa Central are the busiest but you can go up/downwind wherever you are. We were at Palapas Ventana the past week and I either launched right at the resort or did a downwinder each day.
