- I have had the Florence 130X for about a week. Here is my review during my third run on the new wing. If you have @LiftFoils or are considering the switch, you are going to want this wing in your quiver.
Of course I am riding my @kalamaperformance8042 9ftx17" #barracuda

Thanks Shep that's a great video mate & yeah the 130 was exactly what Lift needed the boys in Aus are loving it .
@@Piros181 thanks Rob! Would love to get down there and go with you all. 🤙
Nice Shep yeah Florence 130 X has been the go to for the gorge trip so far this year, just the turning is so nice, and low end makes it so you can always use it
Oh for sure. Probably an epic gorge wing. Hoping to get up there in August…🤞🏼
Awesome vid Shep!
@@BrianTallarico thanks Brian. Just watched Ku’s North Shore video with you guys. Loved it. Gotta get over and do that run!
thanks Shep. Meanwhile, yesterday I did my first run with a Lift 90 and loved it! Keen to explore the Lift world now that they have a decent mast. Cheers
Nice GP. Yeah let me know I have plenty you can try. Agreed, the M2 mast is excellent.
Awesome video Shep you make foiling look so easy 🏄🏼👍🍺
Thanks Phil. Even 6 years into this DW foil journey, it’s not easy, but the challenges have changed. That’s what’s so amazing about this sport! Keeps your mind engaged!
Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Have you ridden it yet?
@@ShepNelson Yes rode it in hood River. Was awesome. My thoughts were the same as what you shared. Will be my go to for big days at home.
@@michaelpisarczyk6465 nice. Good to hear. 👌🏼
Solid on foil review Shep! You were so stable there for awhile - could have been a studio green screen. I did have the 150 on my wishlist for my SUP foil learning journey, now you have me thinking the 130 might bump it off the list - think I should find one to try on a Kaikoos run first though. Do you think the best of the 130 can still be experienced on a standard mast or does the M2 really make it shine?
@@mindfoil thanks for the kind words. The 150 still has a lower stall speed and is easier to lift and better in really really light wind, but that said I don’t think I’ve used the one 150 since I got the 130, but Maui is pretty windy. I think for a prone run the 130 would be plenty. The carbon in the 130 is also a higher grade carbon than the 150 which is part of what makes it feel so stable. And you may not want to hear this, but the first thing I would do is replace the mast. The M2 is absolutely worth the money
@ShepNelson Thanks for the seasoned tips! Just sold some gear and scored a deal on a 130. M2 is on the wishlist 🤑. Maybe an M2 review needs to be in your shoot list? You dominated the SEO for "lift 130 review" I hear the M2 is a game changer, but I wonder what that translates to... like 10% more responsiveness, power transfer and efficiency, etc.? I know you can't put a number on it.
@@mindfoil stoked for you! Good call….will do.
Another fantastic video. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you Dimitris! Hopefully I’ll be in your hood before too long 😊
Frippin! Fast+Rippin
Thanks John. Your races keep the fire burning!
Great video Shep! Amazing audio quality. I'm sure I'll pick up a 130 eventually, just sold my 150... Your stance appears pretty far back on that board. Is it pushing 9'?
@@Thatspec1 thank you! Yes, the audio is good as long as I match the wind speed and keep the camera in front of me. The board is a 9’x17” custom Kalama v2. You will not regret buying the 130…
Hi ! For non-Oceanic downwind, do you recommend the 130X or the 150hax ? Thank you !
@@malpho9123 great question. The 130 has a bit better glide and top speed, but the 150 has a lower stall speed. Bumps like hood river the 140 would be awesome. But slow and small, I’d probably go 150 or 180 even.
@@ShepNelson Great, thank you !
Looks like a good wing to have! Crisp audio quality too…which GoPro are you using? Guess the trick is to not get the microphone wet 😁
Haha. Yeah I think rinsing it out after helps keep it good too. This is the 11 Black.
