Far out what a tough race. That was like a pump fest for 15km. Hear the results. Once I get pics I'll share. I used the KALAMA 7'10 barracuda with Gofoil V2 mast, proto P1500 HA with 20" HA tail.

Conditions: Not as windy as the meters show (super gusty) and waves only 1-2' but thankfully there was something. Today looks similar, there'll be enough for coarse racing on big wings. Mon / Tues look much stronger out East.

What's your ride report on the P1500 HA and 20 HA tail? Do you when these will be released into the wild? Will the HA tail be available in other sizes?

Not surprised a Cali DW rider won as he likely has spent more time dealing with sub-par dw conditions.

It was like been on a slow Efoil on cruise control in those tiny cutlets bumps, great glide and ease of pumping.. Less effort than normal. The new wings are approved and into production. The tail is 20" only and can be cut down to preference

Looks like some racers expected the wind to drop and choose a bigger foil, such as Kane. But it was actually enough for some people to go with smaller foil foil. Ben and Marcus used Codefoils 860 R.
Gage the the winner was on a Armstrong 1125.
Must have been hard to choose which foil to use !

All day we were deciding to go PNL, RS1125HA or P1500 some went 1500 and other 1125. Gabby, Kane, Johnny all used 1125 and me, tomo, Eric on 1500
