Recently, Gofoil has had a clearance sale on their NL model front foil wings. I got 2 of each for me and Lisa, both the NL190 and NL160 for $149 each. Crazy cheap! Normally they were like $775. I've had 6 sessions with them, and they are really, really fun in flatwater. I have not yet used them in the waves as I don't expect them to perform well for waves, but I love them in flatwater. Eventually I'll try them in waves. They have nearly the glide of the RS1300, but they have much better grip. They have almost as much grip as the EZ1600, but much better glide. The roll stability is much more sensitive than the EZ1600, almost as sensitive as the the RS1300 but not quite. I had to push these wings through turns very hard to get them to slide out.
Today I rode the NL190 in very gusty 25-30mph conditions with my 2.8m Microfreak sail. I did 100 jibes in 50 minutes, raking the sail back and sheeting in hard and then letting the sail rip on the flip. The foil just glides and glides. There were some big lulls and it just glided right through to the next gust with no problem. If you have a few bucks to spare I suggest getting both the NL190 and NL160. Here's the link. Have fun out there!!!
