"Alex Cousin 34.5kts 2sec
Thomas Goyard 36.4kts 2sec
Lucas Guiraud 36.45kts 2sec
Nico Goyard 38.7kts 2sec

The full Phantom team used the IRIS 78 board (Nico and Tom had a pre-series X mk2), the IRIS R foil (R350 mk2 wing, 100 EVO fuselage, R175 stabilizer) and the R mk2 4.5 wing"

Why do they show the foil catapults? I'll never try again foiling if they keep doing that! Nice shot of Anrea Baldini finning toward the end. He is probably doing 10 knots faster . Surely safer (with exceptions ... below).

Totally agree. Watched a stock car race on TV one time and, ever since, have used only a bike to fetch groceries.
