RIDE REPORT - Omen Flux 48 Liter: Foam can be your friend.
What's up everyone and thanks for checking out my first RIDE REPORT of the 48 Liter Omen Flux. Although I intended to learn to use Foil Drive with it I quickly realized all the benefits of this particular size and model. The main benefit that I found was pitch stability in pop up and in turns. I personally don't know if it's the added length or volume but it feels more stable compared to other boards. I also should add that I feel it was smoothed out my turns without compromising performance and my pumping seems more controlled and efficient. I also want to add that I am not sure if this board fits in the Mid spectrum of boards. But I would love to know your opinion on that. If you like this video feel free to give a thumbs up, subscribe, and comment.

You’re going to end up with every size of flux. Can’t wait til you start sup paddling. I rarely prone anymore.

Nice video. That board looks sweet and as you said you are not giving it back. I think you will be even more pumped about your Foil Drive. You will be catching 10x more waves on your Omen with a FD and be less tired. It's the best hack machine out there. You do a really nice job with your videos and I also think your number of views and subscribers will easily double if you start creating content with FD. There's many of us that want to learn more tips and tricks to prone foiling and downwinding with a FD. I think your surfing background plus your prone foiling skills will allow you to create some really good FD content.

@@svenbugg9406 good question. I haven’t had that board for a while. But from what I do recall about the FG by Armstrong was I think the Widepoint is different. Different bottom and about 9 liters as well.
i have started analyzing tail rocker of the boards , duotone and gong are flat, seems afs are flat too i"ve seen a guy on a sls downwinder and a afs silk , fone got a 0.95 degree fw , i wonder if you could check on your boards ? i dont know why i keep buying setup that are no compatible with each other and have to shim the topplate . i've seen surfoiler with cool setup badly tuned they still manage ! it's very awkward to lean back to surf foil really shitty i will even say. 🤙yeww
