Wingsurfing, Windfoiling, Wingfoiling, Wing SUP / Re: Ocean Rodeo Glide-Allula

Someone told me the draft moved (forward or back, I forgot) between the 2021 release and newer ones. The newer ones have the same graphics, but the yellow is a different shade.

The drawback, per my friends who upgraded to the carbon handles and booms, is the massively fat grip on the boom. The handles have a skinnier grip. But both are hard on the hands because they are just sprayed with non-skid clear traction. One friend covered his with hockey tape.

They are lighter than the Duotones. Probably because they went extreme, like the lack of EVA grip on the booms.

Maybe they will fix the booms and go skinner. Right now it’s ridiculous how fat the boom is.

Just when I thought the Progression Project couldn't get any better...
Whether your are a skater, surfer, SUPer, kiteboarder, foiler, do medication, there is something for everyone to appreciate in this interview. 
Loved it, gave me goose bumps. 
Highly recommend.
Enjoy...

Thanks for this, big fan of Stacey. In a world full of amazing piles of crap, some of which really pull me down, it is the meditational side of surfing/skating that keeps me up and smiling.

Update at five years in I can say that this is now the prime of my life. Winning the lottery to be free from just about all restraints and never miss a surf. Any clean or offshore conditions and even still the big stuff and I'm going. The freedom is priceless.

My buddy is riding the 5m glide A. 75 sessions in he said he still prefers it over a new unit. Not sure if he got to try the dlab tho. I have the 2.5m and like it a lot.

Hey guys, apart from the newer AA-series, did Ocean Rodeo release any different updated versions of the Glide A-Series this thread is about?

I've never flown an Aluula wing.... only Duotone Unit 2s and Slick SLSs... I'm seeing good prices on Glide A-Series closeouts and I wonder if I should order one. But I'm also wondering if this design is the same exact one that was released in 2021. Just wondering if it's still worth it nearly 3 years later. If I were to order one it would be with the carbon boom by the way, and in 5M. Thoughts?

weight with or without stock fins?

Hi EB, Unfortunately I don’t have a scale so I don’t know.  Sorry.

It’s approximately 19lbs without fins.
