- Welcome to The Lift Journal. A session by session record of my progression in foiling from a beginners perspective. Sharing the highs and lows of my experience first hand.
So after using Armstrong for the past and only 5 months of my foiling affair I wanted to try out some other brands. The interesting thing about the foil industry is that every brand has a different way of developing their product. This leads to new feels and different personal experiences with their customers. After months of TH-cam and instagram downloads of foil content I really started to dig the @Unifoil team and brand. I found that they are more on the prone side of the industry and concentrating more on those types of riders. So lets rewind to a few weeks ago when I really started to think about a equipment switch up. I obviously have been keeping a close eye on the Progression series wings that have been in development but not released to the general public yet. I am one of the most impatient humans on planet earth so I went on the Unifoil site and looked up dealers and stumbled upon @thefoilshop6371 in Seal Beach CA. I quickly got on the phone with the owner Josh and figured out my next foil set up. After listening to the Q and A podcast by Unifoil about the differences between the Progression and the Hyper 2 wing @joshku1990 mentioned that the 210 Hyper 2 is a great down wind wing. Down wind is my next discipline that I want to tackle so after talking to Josh from Foil Shop we decided that the 210 is a great starter wing for me to get better at my pump and also continue to foil smaller surf. So as per my first experience I am beyond stoked on how the 210 felt. As explained in this video I was pumping out further and connecting more consistently. I do need a little help with my form but thats also getting used to a whole new brand. I personally can't say enough good things about my new setup and the experience with The Foil Shop.

Lookin Good! Your Pump back out through the wash was impressive. Most people wouldn’t realize how unstable the foil becomes. Keep the footage coming
Thank you. With this big of a foil I just go right through
Great review 🤙🏼 prior to watching your video I actually ordered a 140 & hyper 210 too! 🚀🚀🚀
whats your weight? do you think the 250 hyper is a good option for beginners? as its bigger / probably easier to pump?
I am around 140 in weight and the 210 was a great wing for me to really figure out pumping.
hahahaha its type one , you nee(d) a foil ;) nice vid !!
Awesome. So since that video I have been saying it correctly.
