Lots of fun. Wear the right gear and it's all good

Welcome to call or take one for a spin anytime Frano

@ thanks mate, currently offshore heading to Antigua but will be back in Feb for a fortnight, catch up then

On a wave its pretty special. Prone it's the nuts, wing it's quite niche as all the back foot pressure isn't ideal for blasting back out and driving through tacks/gybes, it's a dedicated wave shredder!

Not dumb, it's a tough call as both are great boards. The ML takes off super easy and rides lively. You can do both sports well in all sorts of conditions on them. But being a jack of all trades it has compromise - the narrowness is very tippy and can be tricky. And the increased length means the nose can catch when turning or on a pitchy prone take off. Also the tail being long restricts hard turning in more critical sections. The smaller size FG boards is a more dedicated performance board, they handle touch downs very well and are very forgiving, they inspire confidence to push your riding harder in extreme condtions. However they don't take off as easy, and the 48L is possibly a bit too wide to paddle well for prone. For me - I'd always choose to wing the FG wing, over the the ML, but in reality I end up using the ML more as it's a guaranteed session. For prone again to ride a dedicated shape, but I really enjoy the ML for ease. I wouldn't choose that size FG for prone. Hope that helps

@@poseidonwatersportsukI tried a 50L FG and it’s been impossible every time. Just not enough wind when I’ve taken it. I’m kea I g towards a 55 or 65 ML I think. Thanks!

Thanks for watching, glad it’s helpful 🤙

Yes the stock fittings are close together, but I find them very well positioned and balanced. Because they are narrow I’d recommend a PU coated rope harness line to help keep the loop open and easy to hook into. Because of the design you could even make your own. Alternatively you could attach a line into both handles using a harness line with webbing straps

Hi, thanks for watching. I was on the 55L ML and weigh around 80kg. The eagle x is a weapon for speed and would be fun for blasting in light wind, don’t under estimate the speed it needs to work and the high stall speed though. 15kn on the 900 would be fun, 10 knots could be frustrating. If you want ease in low wind and dont mind compromising some speed - a big eagle could be wise choice. If you are happy to loose some low wind days a 900 eagle x will make you smile

They are both great flagged out. The swing is a dedicated wave wing so behaves impeccably flagged. The flow behaves very well flagged and due to it's versatility has a wider wind range of use (wind strength and riding style). Neither would disappoint. If you ride different styles in different conditions or run a minimal quiver I'd recommend the flow. If all you care about is forgetting about the wing whilst on the wave, I'd point towards the swing. The handles are a deciding factor for some people

@poseidonwatersportsuk Thanks ❤️

So much frothing

Yeeoww. Thanks for being involved!

Thanks, was lots of fun, such good energy amongst everyone involved. Welcome to join us next year, Hope to grow it to be even more fun together. We have 1-5th October pencilled in the diary, not quite confirmed yet, keep an eye on the website for updates.

🤙🤙 thanks for being a part of the team and so good to watch you shredding Theo 🔥

Was a fun few weeks!

Yeew. Thanks. excited for next year already

HI! Thanks for watching. We are real lucky here, always energy to play with

Thanks for watching, welcome to join us next year

sure was a good run of sessions with a great crew

Yeowww, so much fun, and so good watching back the clips of you shredding

Thanks for watching. Nice foils. The seven seas will feel like a nice step up from your phantom as it's slimmer section allow it to ride faster and carry a better glide. I would say that foil tech has developed fast and you'd probably find the 1100 has a similar lift to your your 1280, so i'd almost look at it as a replacement instead of an addition. The DW tail will give the most efficient pump and glide, 170 for ease, 145 for better top end. If you want a looser roll check out the "W" carving tails - the 161 would go with the 1100 really nicely. If you wanted to stretch yourself a little further (keeping the 1280) i'd look at the sk8 or eagle. both will ride even faster and more lively. the 990 eagle would be a super fun addition and you'd love it's speed and glide, it has a great range. Or if you want loosness - the sk8 in 1050 would be a nice next step. We've recently put out a couple of overview vids on the f-one front wings and tails - if you havn't seen check them out and welcome to give us a shout anytime

@poseidonwatersportsuk Thanks a lot for your comment...! I will see how my feeling of control will develop by using the 1280 Phantom, and then probably decide for 7 Seas or Eagle... I also appreciate your comment about the tail options...!

Thanks, hope it’s helpful

ooh, good call. I havn't spent enough time on the Code R to give a fully fair response. Initial feeling is that the code-R lifts easier and has a more forgiving range, the Eagle X has more top end speed and rides more aggressive. Will come back to you after spending more time on the R-series

Thanks appreciate it

Thanks for watching. I feel it's an amazing prone board and gets you paddling into much fatter lumps and for sure increases sessions. I'll always want one in the quiver, but i do still choose a shorter, more traditional shape when the wave quality is good or I'd want to push harder turns. It's a good 2nd board - which you'll use a lot. size wise - at 17" wide the 45L is very narrow and take off not so easy. With your experience you would adapt, but I'd only recommend the smaller 2 sizes for intermediate-advanced riders, where as the 18" wide 55 more user friendly for most levels

thanks for watching, the v3 is still a good wing, it's just very stiff and weighty on the tips so it needs a different technique and likes to be ridden hard. For all-round versatility it's hard to fault the v4 strike for anything

Thanks for watching. Always keen to do more reviews, comparisons between brands can be more tricky but definitely on the agenda. Like and share, access to kit and support from brands makes it easier for us for do them 🤙

Newquay, Cornwall, UK. Theres some glory spots round here

awesome, thanks for watching, glad it helped, enjoy the prone journey

Always keen. Like and share, the more the brands support these the easier it is me us to do them 🤙

Easier than the previous model enduros - it’s more open - like the evo, so less whip is required to the send. It probably sits between the evo and dice in terms of easy jumping. Overall more versatile than both, but less specific than the evo for sending

Yes, it tightens the front/centre of the bridal so makes it pinch upwind and turn more pivotal around the centre strut. Not sure its more stable or better in gusty winds in this setting, but you definitely notice it creates less power through its turn and behaves smoother

@@poseidonwatersportsuk Thank you Chris! yes I was supposing that a more farther forward position of the kite in the wind window could make it less exposed under a gust, in any case I have recently tried a V5 13m and it's very stable under gusts probably mostly thanks to the 16 points bridles!

Thanks for watching!
