You are a SAVAGE for going out in the snow. Damn! It looks cold. You'll get the 930 easy! 930 is waaaaay faster than 1180. 1180 has much more lift and is slower. Great to see you out there with paddle, as I can only remember seeing you Wing in past. You looking good out there. If you want to make the 930 feel easy, then ride the 755. :) So much of each foil is how it feels/compares to what you last rode. 120 tail feels pretty good as well. Keep Rippin!!!! Aloha!!!
@@pheelers1831 dude it’s cold! I can’t believe it’s winter again. I wasn’t really ready for it. 2024 kinda went out with a fizzle but 2025 has some potential. I’m stoked? I wish you Ana awesome New Year bud!!
I have had over 200 sessions on the DWP685. My GOTO setup for winging in all conditions is paired with the 180 speed tail with a blue shim.No issue with pitch control at speed.I have the 140 dart and as you found the pitch control is average. l find the 180 has better pump and glide than the 140 which is the feel l prefer coming from the HA925 and HA1325. The HA 680 l have is hardly getting used. The DWP685 is better than the HA680 in marginal conditions. With a 6.8m l have just cracked the sub 10knts on this setup.
yeah I'm still figuring that foil out. I guess the pitch thing was at the really low speeds, just as I was getting it on foil and it seemed to go away at faster speeds. I'm stoked to learn more about it, and figure out when this comes out vs the 1180. you ride the smaller ones too, right?
Hi, man stocked to see you are out in cold waters, I was feeling bad about myself going out in 13 C ~ 55 F, but you totally rock with the snow on the beach 🤙 I've seen you riding F-One and Armstrong over the last year what are your thoughts on the both system, which one you would prefer to stick with in a long run?
lol thanks bud! It was… refreshing! Bht necessary, stoked I got out. Tough question about the systems! Easy answer is a prefer Armstrong foils right now but I seem to dig the current FOne wings with handles. The Swing and Origin are my faves. I’m gonna pick one of those up next spring. Although I really kinda want a wave wing with a boom. At least I think I do. So I’m looking at trying a Gong Neutra, one of the new Duotone wave wings, and the Vayu Aura 3 in the next few months. If I love one of those, great! If not I’ll totally be grabbing an FOne when the prices come down a little. If I had to pick a company to stay with, it’d prolly be FOne. But I’m so heavily invested in the Armie system that I’m happy to stay here. That will prolly last till I try a Code foil. Lol. Trying not to try one of those, since I foresee that being an expensive sesh 😜👊👊 are you just getting into winging or already been here and looking around?
@ thanks for sharing I am semi seasoned rider in multiple foil disciplines. I currently have experience with FOne sk8 and eagle and eagle x and looking to explore alternatives my main focus is on efficiency in pumping. I hopefully will get some hands soon on some code foil setups but I also like the Armstrong team vibe and always curious how it goes since the setup looks highly optimized, lightweight and very performant. The never ending pursuit 😌
@ never ending!! I personally loved the sk8 and the eagle X foils the most. I do think the sk8 pumps good for how fun it is. And the Eagle X… they need to come out with like two larger sizes and I’d be totally stoked. I feel like that 1000 is great but most of us could use something with slightly more lift in the low end. The Armie stuff has been good to me. Every new line has perfectly matched my progression at the time. So I’m super stoked on the HAs now. They are great for what I need them to do. But these guys who ride Codes… are the foils that good or is it just that everyone good happens to ride Code? Grass is always greener, but in general I’m haply where I am. I dont think you could go wrong with any of the 3. Maybe I’ll buy a Code setup next summer and just have a little but if everything for a quiver 😂👊👊
yamamoto baby! a shoutout to CrookedSurf.com for keeping me warm. honestly it's not super cold on days like this, the water is still around 40F so the air was actually colder. when the water gets down to 34F, sessions are brutal. totally gotta dig deep for enough stoke to go out in February :P thanks bud, I wish you an awesome new year!!!!

Dwp 930 is a tricky one! It goes well in small Bumps DW, but I’ve yet to fully dial it in.
