There's been a bit of hype around social media so the cat's out of the bag...New GoFoil wings coming soon...The NEW GL range will be available in a 180, 210, & 240 & according to the GoFoil team riders they are the "bomb"...It's a new flatter wing that is faster but still maneuverable & many of the 3 sizes were ridden by the team at the recent contest in Waikiki...And yes they are the same easy "Plug & Play" system used by GoFoil & so they can be retro-fitted to exisiting masts.... More to come soon...PS Derek Hamasaki has been ripping harder than ever!

im a reader and not much of a poster, but thought id register to post my thoughts

these are the copies of the Signature Albetros downwind series , has gofoil no shame ? even to call them the gl210 ? pityful

Unifoil is even more similar. Axis 900? is similar. It's just the way wings are going now.

I 80kg have the M200 and liking the wing and its gonna be hard to go which GL wing next for small surf/dw?

How do you know they just copied? Big call i would say.

I have see the Signature wings and seen a proto gofoil wing and yes they are both high aspect but no way i could say gofoil just copied it.

We have made some high aspect wings as well and didn't copy anyone but a high aspect wing is a high aspect wing so i am guessing they all may look similar in some ways but this does not mean we all just copied someone! You do know high aspect wings have been out for quite a long time in other sports and just because Signature might have been one of the first to use them on a SUP does not mean they invented it hey! Well done to them for having them as one of the first and i am sure there are others out there who have also already got high aspect wings as i know of one other straight away who may have had them before Signature.

I would argue that all foil tech & the computer modeling that goes into it comes directly from sailing- specifically the moth dinghy which had this shape 20 years ago..

1. Gofoil had a higher aspect wing 2 years ago and no one could ride it, the original Maliko, it was flatter and higher aspect than our common wings.

Yes I was thinking about this. Where are they all now? hidden in attics and lofts around the globe? Has anyone actually tried one again recently... maybe they rip

Yes I had a Maliki and couldn't handle it at that stage of my learning curve and sold it. And yes now I wish I kept it as a downwind foil. It was quick to get up and really fast.
