Good man!

Great video. I watched about half without recognizing (and reading the title) the location. I learned to windsurf on Lake Travis / Windy Point park back in the 80's.

Smooth foling! Great drone work and edit! Thanks for this!

Much appreciated!

Cool

Good skills, both sailor and drone. Is that a Wizard 130 or 114? Also I guess it's the Phantasm 103 mast?

Thanks, yes, Wizard 114 103 wide body Phantasm carbon mast. G800 front wing.

Hey Matt can you tells us what front wing you were riding ? Also sail size and wind speed? Great video …your drone pilot is good!

Thanks, That video was using the Slingshot G800 front wing, PS400 rear wing. 3.7 Sail. Max wind gust around 18 knots. Rider 145 lbs.

More info please! What size sail? How do you like that G800? I have the same board with a G900 I haven’t tried yet. Been using the PTM 730 so far. Can’t wait to try the G series!

Hi Maury, sail 3.7 goya fringe. Rider 140 lbs. Winds were 7-gusting 17 knots. All the video obviously shot during the gusts. Phantasm 103W carbon mast. I also have the PFI730 front wing. The G800 in comparison to the 730.. Rolls nice and controlled rail to rail. very stable and easy to jibe. The extra glide gives a lot of time to jibe. The video at 1:47 duck jibe illustrates the glide with the delayed foot switch. Heel side turns generate a lot of lift. It's more of a carve, wide radius turns where the 730 is more agile spin on a dime wing. The take off, and stall speeds are similar, with the 730 being a little better at the extreme ends, but hardly relevant in the big picture. Finally got out in some 25 knot winds last Thursday and had a blast. Good upwind speed is a bit easier than the 730. The 730 will do it, but requires a bit more skill to hit the sweet spot. As of yet, I can't say it's any faster (at lease with me) than the 730. My max on the 730 has been 21.8 knots. Your G900 should fly very easily I would think.
