Light Assist Season 2

Printed blades from pcbway an weerg on the way to me.

Surgery was this morning, 45/90 days off foil and other fun activity now.

Selling the gy 1401, as I wrote in the other tread I don’t really enjoy it, newer had a breakthrough in pumping it, I breach and fall before being exhausted, and is too slow anyway to ride swell.

Will test the PNG 1300 v2 instead for pumping and flat water paddle up.

I keep the 1201, that I enjoy much more and can dock start and pump almost same duration as 1401.

last sunday with 1401, 1201 and indiana condor-M for the last session of 2024, 7.5c water temp, but good weather.
We secured a new private dock for 2024 season :saluting_face:

A Friend got his gear and car stolen from this place during summer, some guy grabbed his bag and left with his keys and car!

I hope the surgery went well.

That looks like a good dock start spot.

Is the 1201 a gy foil too or genuine?

Rest easy and I look forward to your pump reports in a couple of months or so.

Thanks, it went very well. No damage reported apart the two screws and end stop they installed for my right shoulder :slight_smile:

I think I will re-start efoil/assist with the Big board by end of January and give it a little more time for dock starting where I feel there are more risks of bad fall on start. Also paddle ups trying will wait till February.

The 1201 is from GY too.
Really like this foil, with skinny 45mm tail, it sings.

Dock starting it is not easy, needs more speed (4+ steps) than the bigger wings.

One of my friends got a 1300v2 second hand, he really likes his 1401 that he sup flat starts, but he wanted to test 1300v2 for dead start and rock start, so I will be able to ride it too. If he does not like it, he will resell it me when I’m back in action.

Testing his ketos board (1.2kg on the scale) motivated me to build a lightweight pump board.

Also asked GY to know if the have plans for it (1300 v2) or molds.

Got the weerg and pcbway parts today, after some shipping issues with FedEx (weerg).



All fits well, only the hubs gets a little tight when installed on the motor bell.

The alu blades are very nice :+1: surface finish is better than I expected.

The weerg blades are slightly porus/really thin on the edge, but feel strong and decently rigid, much lighter weight.
