Your personal best on the Trail?

“Due to popular demand I tried to pump the Trail L as long as possible. Today I used a Fluid XS stab on an M Carbon tail because that's just what I had on.

With a Hyper Trail tail wing I could probably go longer. Also here I was not completely maxed out but I was suffering a lot due to high heart rate and lactate accumulation. But I could go 10 minutes and could probably pump it longer. I'm 77 kg.

There are more efficient wings from GONG for long distance pumping, but it's still quite remarkable that you can use this beginner wing to foil for 10 minutes at a time, which is just quite nice and I thought some of you might be interested in this so I'm letting you know! Also average speed was to my surprise not much slower than the Ultra Trail 4 XL, about 15 km an hour but of course with the 4XL I need less energy per pump. Happy foiling!”

Thank you Pascal for sharing your best times on the GONG Galaxy group.
