@@haldanemartin3642 Epic! I’ve been hearing a lot of people talk about the 880 AK Plasma in waves. I might have to add it to the quiver. Right I’m 1030 and 1300 for wing.
Have you compared any smaller foils? I'm mainly riding a 785 right now mainly and considering something around 600. Keep going back and forth with whether I want to buy a modern HA foil that has good camber, or something a little more mid aspect. It seems like there is so much variation these days it really depends more on the specific foil.
@@dylan_the_wizard That is a great topic. I’ll add that to my list of things to do. You nailed it. It comes down to the foil you’re using. In my experience, it’s best to read the designer’s vision and information on the brands site. Then read between the lines with marketing hype. Then you have to talk with someone who’s used it and look past their bias to get an understanding. All that or just go to a demo and try for yourself 😂
I will say that it probably also comes down to what you’re using it for and the conditions. I know lots of wave riders who prefer 700 HA in Florida but I know a few guys using 800 Ha on even bigger waves in Hatteras NC. At the moment I’m in Michigan on the Great Lakes and lots of guys are in the 700 to 900 or even 1000 range on big but gutless waves regarding power. I think you’re going to want to find a shop with demos for you to test.
Im loving my ak foils! Using the 880 plasma for foil driving waves, 1030 tracer for winging, 1350 plasma for downwinding 🤙🏻

Great advice. That carbon fiber looks really nice
@@clayfreshour1753 Bro it’s such an upgrade.

Just wondering what do most people do with outdated foils no one wants junk yard ?
List them. Someone will buy them if you price them appropriately
