Is it a regular foot guy in a hat? That's why I've seen. He said another guy has 24 inch version that's more rippable.

Yeh natural footer, looked insanely drivey through the turns

Can someone please tell me how thick is the front wing of a hydrofoil for surfing? I made one now, and it's 2cm thick. Should it be less?

I’ve seen it in action at mondos. Bat wing looking thing. Very short chord. It looks tiny. He said it’s comparable to the x28? I think. Don’t really know the cloud nine lineup.

The guy rips on it. The lines he takes looks like a short board.
Is that the guy ?

They said the new wing is really small 987 cm sq, that is small !!

Seems to me Cloud9 was left behind despite being one of the first brand, but looks like they have been working hard to come back.

Greg, do you have the new Axis fuselage? I have a suspicion the slot for the mast measures the same as my Signature gear.

Albatross 165 you mean ?
175, it's the original Albatross and pre-dates the 210. Signature doesn't make it anymore, replaced by the 165 and UNI Hyper 170.

As for the ride, it's fast and turns well. It's the only HA wing I've ridden so I'm looking forward to comparing it to the 210 soon.

i'd imagine he looks impressive in person if it looks good in the videos!

How do you like it ? Pumping ? turning ?

I'm trying to get some informations compared to Axis 900. Steve told me he likes the 900 better but on seabreeze the guys seems to like the Uni 170 better.
I had the 900 & demoed a 170, there's a big difference in size between these wings so I don't think their comparable.
I really wanted to like the 170 but didn't gel with it in the conditions at hand (slow/small weak waves). In the same conditions on my 900, I would have had way more fun.
