Das Windfoilen läuft ja leider immer mehr in die SL-Nische (teuer, schwierig einzusteigen, abschreckend) - ohne gute Freerace/Freeride Foil-Sets kann das Windfoilen nicht wachsen.
Im Seabreeze Forum ist ein erster Erfahrungsbericht vom neuen UCS-Freerace von Starboard_
"Yesterday i tried a starboard ucs freerace setup.
this setup contained:
900 e-type pro frontwing.
99cm fuselage
alu v8 mast
180cm2 backwing
Coming from a starboard superflyer, this was truly next level.
it needed a bit more speed to get up on the foil.
but when it does it exelerates very nicely.
the glide of these wings is super smooth.
flying thru gibes it does not loose speed and therefor the lift does not change much.
(With the superflyer i had to increase frontfoot preasure quite a bit to keep the foil down.)
the standard freerace setup comes with a 330 backwing.
As i told Marco from windfoilen.nl i wanted the ideal combo of speed and freeriding, he advised me to try the 180 backwing.
and he was spot on.
i did try the 330, but it made the foil to locked in.
What i also noticed was how stiff the ucs system is compared to previous strarboard systems.
on higher speeds there was a light resonation in the foil wich resulted in my board making a light howling sound.
resonation isn't prefered offcourse but feeling and hearing it in my board it tells me everything is super stiff and well connected."
