Bryan Lake and I ride the same bigger front wing which is a lower aspect usually slower foil that handles the bubbles caused by waves very well. I also rode the high aspect wing in this video. Most foils do not like to go through the bubbles (whitewater). It is actually my all around foil (bigger low aspect) which is very good for beginners and big kite foiling as well.
Check Bryan Lakes facebook page for shots of him riding waves on Oahu with the big wing.
A great looking foil Alex !
