Looks great. would like to see full pics. Careful with that black bottom up in the hot sun. Some foam does not do well with the dark color and resulting heat. Not sure what Moses uses...just a thought.

Wind was mad at Matas bay, gusts of over 35 knts, and me out on my 6mtr made the 5 rescue guys very nervous,
And because I knew they were all watching, I was very carefull not to get catapulted over to the next island, flying gybes were exciting, but my heart rate was through the roof (cacking my pants) I gave in after a short 45 minute session, so no wing speed testing,
I have to take my hat off to the Rescue team at Matas bay, when the wind went mad a call went out on the handheld radios to the guys on thier lunch break to help the other rescue guys who were sudenly overwhelmed due to the amount of people down on the water,
They all came over so quickly,got all the jet skis going and were directed by the main man on the beach who gave instructions to the jet ski guys of where to go, so fast, so well organised.
There are many places you can foil in the south of Feurterventura, Matas bay would-be my choice in the south, deep and safe, well organised, 50 euros for a yearly rescue voucher which gives you 3 jet ski rides back to shore in the off shore winds, beach is small and stoney,parking is very close by, loos, storage and hire are all available, winds are often very strong, yesterday my 6 MTR was too big, sailing area is good for beginners and those who just want to practice in a safe flat water area,jash999 wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 6:49 amHi FoilFoil wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 10:51 pmI spilit my whisky reading that

I am curious about the kite spots in south Fuerteventura for foiling: I assume Matas bay is ok depth wise? Have you checked out Sotovento and Costa Calma or other spots? Is the only issue the gusty winds?
Great stuff, thanks a lot- glad the 633 is working for you so well.Foil wrote: ↑Mon May 14, 2018 2:22 pmflag beach in the north ticks every box and more, much more
Waves, big waves and times mega silly big waves a few hundred yards off shore,but plenty of flat water as well, and often there are days where it looks flat but the swell is fun size, you would pay to play on this stuff, Last week I GPS tracked the area outside where these swells are, me and Wayne sailed on our small kites and Moses 633 wave wings, over 7 miles of the best waterpark rides for Foil boards
Scary at times as the troughs would hide a house, and I got really excited when I spotted a baby hammerhead pass under me, with flying fish jumping all over the place, I raced over to Wayne who had just taken a tumble and shouted out in my excited way-
"Hey Wayne, just seen a baby Hammerhead", to which he swore really bad and got going again so quickly it made me guilty about shouting shark when he was in the water.
I have taken 5 holidays here at Flag beach over the last 10 months and today is possibly the only day I have not gone out, I need a day off,
Checked wind Guru and there is no end in sight of suitable winds and warm sun.
You have just got to love this place, well November to May anyways as the summer months are too hot for me
Looks like that even with the modified t60, and the straps in the most forward position, you still have to put out back feet in front of the foil to get proper balance. So the foil could be installed way more to the back. Nice videoWH Lithuania wrote: ↑Tue May 15, 2018 7:46 pmEvery freeride session with Moses Onda 633 is simply amazing!

Thanks Pedro! That's my first time riding with front straps after a few years strapless. Just wanted to help myself learning toeside upwind tack to heelside.
