@EASTCOASTGONGWINGFOILING-sr6kh Thanks mate I've subed for your chanel updates , Yes Mick has the hope crusader I'm going to ask him for a try when I see him next let me know how the new mast is It's on the wish list but Im struggling to sell my kidneys to buy gear
@@christomo yeah it can get real expensive real quick ! The aluminium mast is ok for wings up to about 105cm. Ive just received my sirus at 156 cm wide ! its huge lol - with my weight im just convinced i would bend the alu mast at some point with this wing on and the force my bodyweight is going to put through it 🤣
Hi Yeah, it is the strapped version. For the small price difference i got the strapped version anyway but i dont use them yet (i tried with straps on my other board but they got in the way whilst i was learning) - i might use them in future when i get more confident. I like riding without and i use the strap mounting bumps as a reference of where to put my feet without having to look down all the time. I actually place my front foot on the strap mount - very comfortable and feels like the right pace for it to be.
@@EASTCOASTGONGWINGFOILING-sr6kh Great, thanks for the input. At 85 kg, I'm thinking about buying the 7'6" HIPE Cruzader. Does that seem to be the right choice?
@@stevstaf1014 For your weight if you want inflatable that what id go for. I dont think the exta volume would do any extra harm with these boards particulary - i dont notice the extra lenght of it. They have a sale on the cruzader at moment if your quick - it usually sells out really quick in the sales. (im nothing to do with them buy my own gear i just love their stuff and amazing value for money and the service ive had from them has been brilliant 😀)
Nice one mate 👍I can't wait to try a crusader
Hi Dude, love your channel 🤙 with the waves and period times you have i think these would work amazingly well for you 👍

@@christomo thx for the sub 😀
Looks like you're using the strapped version but without the straps? What are your thoughts between the strapped and unstrapped versions?
