FEEDBACK: VELOCE LW V3 ATMO
- News
- SUP foil
“It’s going to let me ride 8 days out of 10 instead of 6 out of 10 with my previous setup.”
SUP foiler: Louis, GONG staff, on a Fner EPS Pro 8'8, Veloce LW XL, HM77 mast, Hyper Trail L stab, Carbon Tail L and Carbon Pro 7” paddle
First session on the Veloce V3 Atmo LW XXL
“I received the foil last night. Setup: Atmo Veloce LW XXL, Atmo Hyper Trail XL stab, HM77*15 V3 mast, Long Carbon fuselage, NOTW 8’3 and 100% Mix 7’ fixed paddle, at 105 kg dry.
Today I was planning a flat start session, but a light breeze picked up, around 6 to 9 kts, so I thought it was a shame it wouldn’t be glassy.
I went to check out the spot and could just make out some very light windswell bumps.
So I improvised a downwind.
Result: the lightest downwind of my life!”
Downwind SUP in super light conditions
“I didn’t get it straight away, probably because I also had to adapt to the new Hyper Trail Atmo stab. It was my first time using such a thin stab. You need to know how to get it going, at low speed the foil tended to pitch nose-down.
The bumps were almost nonexistent, but once up to cruising speed, the slightest bit of energy was enough to keep flying.
Over 2 km of downwind, I had 4 starts. On the first 3, it was difficult to find the rhythm, but on the last one I found it and it was incredible.
I can’t wait to do a full downwind in similar conditions.
It’s going to let me ride 8 days out of 10 instead of 6 out of 10 with my previous setup.
Tomorrow I’ll try the flat start on glassy water and compare the stabs too.” Thanks Tom for this feedback on GONG Galaxy.
