First day on the Signature Stealth 175, way different than expected. Definitely not a small wave foil, needs quite a bit speed to get up on foil and stalls quickly if you don't keep the speed up. I usually sit on the inside and catch a couple dribblers to warm up, but i couldn't even get going at first. Made a field adjustment and pushed the foil all the way forward in the box, added lift and I was up flying. Paddled outside and rode out to the shoulder on the first couple, wing is fast and glides to a halt if you let it. Next couple I tried some turns, no setup just turn your shoulders and engage! Couple more and I was keeping it in the pocket with cutbacks. Pumped a couple times to the inside reform, but not out the back. One huge surprise after the session was that I didn't breach once, neither on the wave or pumping. Really like this wing!
Albatross 175 testing tomorrow.
