Excellent review. I like how you use the straight edge to illustrate the profiles. I have the 145l Surf because I'm learning and 92 kg. My first board and love it: I find the step help reduce the touchdown stick. Also the deck pad grip and texture is excellent and should help reduce foot fatigue on long runs (when I get there). Stability in the waves is excellent for a big beginner: I spend more time on the board paddling DW than failed starts from falling off.
Glad you enjoyed the video range overview :) Great to hear about your journey too - keep it up, it's worth the effort as the feeling of downwinding is UNREAL when you get a good run. Regards, Will - SUPboarder
Excellent review. Primarily for winging and looking at the KT range, which would you lean toward for someone coming from a windsurfing/surfing background with a little e-foil experience? 80kg for use in extremely light lake wind of 7-10kts. It seems like these boards would be excellent in light wind conditions with the option to grab a paddle and use as a SUP on days where the wind just isn’t there. Any particular board/s you might consider first? Any particular foil for light wind/pumping that you think would pair best with these boards being that they release better onto foil? Thanks
I would probably look at the V2 or Surf dragonfly 110/120. Both are lovely ride as light wind wing boards with a slightly more compact feel to the crossing ( which would probably give you the ultimate/earliest light wind winging flights as its so low drag, but at the expense of some cross over potential and stability). The surf will give you more stability than the V2 and a little more versatile due to its updated design. Pump foil wise, we found the Armstrong foils worked really well with these boards for light wind winging, 1675 APF /220 glide will get you winging in very little wind and the least effort, however there is loads of great pump foils out there and even the new generation high aspect foils will get going early with these longer boards. I hope that helps a little?! Will - SUPboarder
Excellent review🎉 Thank you😊 I just got the Dragonfly Surf 7’10” 110ℓ and still struggling in flat water paddle up. A quick question, where do you place the mast in the fin boxes please?
Thanks for the feedback - glad you enjoyed it. With the 1675 Armstrong we went just forward of mid box 9 by about 2 cm. That worked well and gave us good reference points on the deck pad to use. Regards, Will - SUPboarder
Thanks for posting this. How much does the rider weigh?
