    I'd love to see some pictures of the drop anchor leash itself. Thanks!

      I connect the wing leash to the steel ring and the cover is tied into a knot in the webbing belt so it won't slide through.

      would be cleaner to sew up a sandbag with a webbing belt but this does the trick!

    New shape?? Exciting 🙌🏻 I'm after a smaller stick after my super fav 72flux.. I weigh 65kg so it's a neutral plus. For bigger board, I don't need back footstrap, never had any issue. Gets me going every time from 5/6kts on 700front. Super stoked always. Nice work w drag anchor! Cheers Greg

      Drop me a line anytime to chat about the new shapes Bernard, though the 48L Flux may be the right move instead :)

    Great vid. Every time I wonder if my feet are too off stance, I look at you!

      @omenfoils  Місяць тому

      Haha, I hope it's not for moral support seeing somone who is truly off!
      I've been working on my stance recently, trying to get in the habit of turning my back foot a bit more forward facing.

    Are you going to go above 84L with the new shape?

    • @omenfoils
      @omenfoils  Місяць тому

      Not in this new line but we do have a bigger shape in the works which will only be available in 95L and 105L

    One way to do it but parawing is the shizzzzz. You won’t be doing it this way after that. 🤙🏾

    • @omenfoils
      @omenfoils  Місяць тому

      haha, already have had a couple sessions on it by the time this was posted. For sure it's an amazing tool but the drop anchors are still fun in a group and accessible without any additional gear purchases to get a taste of the uninhibited downwinding feels.
      I'm absolultely stoked to get more sessions on the parawing though!

    Is that a proto stab?

    • @omenfoils
      @omenfoils  Місяць тому

      it is, will have some production ones available in two weeks. Pushes up the stall speed of the 1050 slightly but for that compromise you get more playfulness, higher top speed, and increased mid and higher speed glide :D
