The Shape Shack / Re: Chinook 16" tracks
« on: November 03, 2023, 08:57:18 AM »
Not chinook but a prefab cassette from Greenlight. I added 4 wooden dowels through cassette up to deck and put 2 birch ply stringers on sides. Probably not the lightest but I built this board out of shit lying around in my shop. Only for dw and light wind winging.

Another great show Robert! Humble rippers. Now I need to go try a backflip.

I'm paddling the 8' barracuda, axis 1201, 14" KD marlin.   Its a ripple catching and pump back out machine.    Absolutely incredible.

Hell yes! I have this same setup. probably just you and me. Except my board is 8'4". I totally agree that this setup can catch anything that barely resembles a wave and fly forever. I winged it a couple days ago in almost no wind and was up on foil most of the time. I am running a 1deg shim under trailing edge of the Marlin and this seems proper. Are you shimmed? I have caught many unbroken ocean lumps on it too. Can't wait for my San Diego trip next month. This is the missing link to SD foiling for me which I have struggled with for years. SenditBro!

1st session on 1201 today. KD Marlin tail 1deg shim, HM 900, sillyshort advance, 80 liter moonbuddy 5.0 strapless.

Me: 180lbs.

Wind was a little "whore's panties" 5-15mph but had a lot of time on foil gliding in nearly nothing on SS V3 4M

Turning: right between the 1300 and 1099. Closer to the 1099. This wing turns plenty good to be fun winging. Like all foils, if I kept it high in the column it turned a lot better. It felt like I could skid it into turns with my hips. I think footstraps will help turn this beast.

Glide: retarded. Comparable to 1300

Pump: really easy to flag and pump n glide as far as I wanted. Easy to dig out of holes and get back up high on mast. Cadence was similar to 1300(slower pumps than 1099)

Speed: It was fun to be able to go down sub 1099 to a walking pace to slash some lake chop. It also goes really fast when pushed. It didn't seem as locked in at speed as the other ART's.

Stiffness: Stiffer than the 1099 in crossed up lake chop. I was worried about this and am relieved that its all good.

Pitch: It seemed a bit more pitchy than 1099 but I feel like I am just getting used to it. I am keen to try my crazyshort regular fuse and see.


I am stoked on this wing! I think it will replace my beloved 1099 and maybe the 1300 too. I will try it on a flatwater paddle up tomorrow and see if I still need the 1300. I am super into riding backwinded for long reaches and this wing was easiest I've done that with.
Senditbrö!

Ha! Not a pollution but a nice plug. I have only 8 or so sessions on the 899. I agree, it is a great wing. Conditions at my local are lighter winds than what I like the 899 for. If I lived at the ocean and was riding waves in higher wind, I would need to keep it. I am mostly a 1099/silly short/325P guy. I am culling the ART herd(except for my beloved 1099) to generate funds for something shiny and new. I might be interested in the ART Pro if it ever gets released or the new surf wing. I have been eying the Uni Progression as well. I am less intrigued by going fast on the ding lately and more into slowing down and connecting the bumps. Someone will buy this and love it I have no doubt. It would already be sold if the axis facebook thread still allowed selling.

I got the 18”. I wouldn’t really want to deal with much more as its a little awkward holding it while winging. I just tucked all the straps into the cone and folded it and then wrapped my hand around the cone and grabbed my boom(Javelin). It occurred to me that with a little r&d i could just be done with the wrist leash all together. I need to figure out how to stow it so when I drop the wing on accident, it will deploy gracefully. I might try tucking it into my impact vest. I’m convinced that I can paddle the board downwind faster than it drags in the event of the wing going ahead of me. I could see this working on a board as well. If you’re a competent winger and looking to spice up your session, this is it. The freedom of being on foil with nothing in hand is really fun.

So I was inspired by a chat over on the progression project forum about tying a drift anchor to the wing and ditching it. I tried it a bunch of times today and it went just as planned. The anchor was $18 on amazon:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BB2KS655?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

I just hooked the anchor to my wristleash and just threw it and it works amazing! The cone catches the water and slows the wing down to like a 1-2 mph drift.  Some may wander what the point of this is. I use the wing to get on foil in some fun lake chop and then throw the wing away and I am just purely foiling with nothing in my hands. This is perfect training for downwind foiling and connecting bumps. This is also incredibly fun as a new diversion of foiling. My brain is spinning from thinking of how to apply this. Wake thieving, dw practice, tow in surfing, wing sharing. Thoughts?

The Shape Shack / Re: Infinity Tails
« on: April 19, 2023, 06:10:06 AM »
these are super cool Admin! Is it possible that an infinity tail could be narrower wingspan than a regular and still provide plenty of lift because of the double wing? I really like the safety aspect(pun). It's really cool all the foils and parts that you have been printing up all winter. You are a pioneer. How hard would it be to print a box front wing?
