We've had good winds all week and more today, spring time winds are our best season. Day before this video was 34 knots and I was winging for 3 hours (just a tad sore) so it was a nice mellow session with 5.0 sail.

fellow rider was on the Moses equivalent of the SS infinity 76, he is on the Horue Tiny 120 and I was on the SS wizard 130 so a evenly matched equipment test.

Thanks for posting that great video. Just got my 114 and wondering what positions to use for getting started. Mast position foot strap position etc.

Mind me asking...?.
1. What switch fuse position your using
2. Where your foil mast is positioned in the track
3. What size sail in the video
4. How much do you weigh

That's a great view of you foot strap position.

BTW,
I'm in Austin, Raced at rush creek many years ago. I'm on lake Travis across from windy point sailing in multi directional boat driven chop
Thanks in Advance..

Hi Matt

Congrats on the W114. Looks an awesome board. glad you liked the video and rush is a great place to foil
Foot straps are inboard and 3 holes back. The back strap in middle with 2 holes back (I have weird short legs in seems :)

I always use the longer fuse in position B with the 42 rear wing.
with the i76 the mast base is all the way back on number 1 or 1.5. If I use bigger front wings like the i84 I move it forward to #5. I was using a Naish 5.0 force V. My favorite size sail is the 4.5 but that day the wind was dropping to 11/12 mph.
I weigh 193lbs - been on the Labrada 12 week lean body challenge and lost 12 lbs Makes a big difference.
say hi to guy Miller when you see him. He just got the SS shred sled and some wings.

Thanks Core, I just watched the video a few times and that pretty much answered all my question with all the different views. I'm a little worried about the 5.3 with my weight of 140 lbs. I run a 7.5 on my tabou rocket 125.
