Re: Liquid Force Happy Foil // Liquid Force Impulse

I wouldn't say the Impulse foil (low aspect grey wing) is faster then the Happy Foil (blue medium aspect wings). If you want speed you need to go with higher aspect wings.

1 - never bet someone that they can't do something you think is impossible because there is always someone smarter then you

Long lines won't solve the straight downwind problem. The problem is that, to go directly downwind faster than the wind, you have to make the wind work against the water in the downwind direction.

Way to go OR! I see new Roams in my future! edit: I re...
