Good to see more wing and foil content team! Have you looked at the Gong range in general? It’s an interesting direct to consumer model they have.
Thanks for the comment. Gong is an interesting model. It’s been hard to get them to commit to sending gear over in the past, but we’re getting more and more stuff from them now which will be interesting to review and test.

Hi guys , the Blackfish rider .. more info on what he was on before and where he paddles would of been nice, but first of all i’d say get on the water put your paddle down, and just feel where the stability is on the board, start to relax and have a little rock from side to side.
