They say that the original masts are interchangeable with the new wings without any modifications. I found that to be true.

I'm using the new narrow tail on the new pedestal with the GL210.  TJ at Big Winds says the wide tail would be most similar to a stock IWA + maliko tail while the narrow tail is most similar to an IWA with a cut maliko tail or kai tail.  In terms of pitch stability, I found the 210+narrow tail to be very similar to IWA+cutmaliko

Nothing like data.  $800.

Pricier than fine Japanese bluefin.

Awesome, Beasho!  Did Karla happen to say when the tails are going to be in stock again?

I'll take two pounds, if they'll throw in the scraps of the tail section in with the price.

Anyone know how the "GONG FOIL ALLVATOR SURF/SUP FRONT WING PRO" XL at $290 compares to the $750 GL180?
 
Me: 6'1"/185...(2) 5'1" Kings Foil/Wing Boards...7'10 Kings DW Board...9'6" Bob Pearson "Laird Noserider"...14' Lahui Kai "Manta"...8'0" WaveStorm if/when the proning urges still hit.

For what it's worth, my last Ferrari (360 spider) was 44 dollars a pound.
Foote 10'4X34", SIC 17.5 V1 hollow and an EPS one in Hood River. Foote 9'0" x 31", L41 8'8", 18' Speedboard, etc. etc.

Wing is working.  The take off is 75% as easy as the Maliko 200 vs. the Iwa. 

I am excited to see how well it handles speed.  Waves have been on the smaller side.  BUT the GL 210 has promise.  IF it DOESN'T have a top end or breach then it should work for everything.

Nice wave with Jeff Clark.  Sunset 2019 wave season - 8/31/2019. 

Riding the GL 210.  See where he is taking off, and compare to my takeoff down wave.

New Season starts September 1st, 2019  :o

Any prone guys up there? That video makes me want to bring my 4'8" up there to say I've surfed Mavericks. Since there's no way I'm going in the water when it's breaking for real.

Beasho, thanks for sharing info on the new wings. Are you saying that, as far as easy takeoffs it goes like this, from easiest to hardest. G210---IWA---M200.

I believe you are saying takeoff on G210 is easier/smoother than IWA 170. I have the IWA takeoff down and feel that the M200 is cumbersome and clunky from flat water to takeoff, to going down the line. I feel like the IWA takeoff is really smooth already and would be stoked if the GL210 was even smoother/more efficient.

I would say from a low speed LIFT takeoff perspective its:  1) M200 then 2) GL210 then 3) IWA.

I was worried that that GL210 wouldn't have as much lift for non-breaking wave takeoffs but it has proven to be almost as 'lifty' as the M200.  But don't get me wrong the M200 proved GREAT this summer on the East coast in 1 1/2 to 3 foot waves.  The slower wing worked well in the slow 6 to 8 second period waves.

Hi Beasho
Could you tell me the wingspan of the GL210?  :)
