FEEDBACK: CRUZADER FSP PRO

News
Wing

24 april 2023 0

A first feedback from Mikael who has chosen to complete his wing foil quiver with a Cruzader for the light wind days.

Wing foiler : Malo, GONG team rider, on the Cruzader FSP Pro and Pulse Boom.

“I have not yet seen reviews of the smallest Cruzader in wing foiling, so here is the first. Received Cruzader 6’0 yesterday.

First impressions: Wow! This thing looks narrow and fast!

I’m around 88kg in my winter gear. I was using a 5m² wing and Fluid XL-T of 1550cm². Normally I would definitely be on my 6m² in this light wind conditions, but I wanted to test the board underpowered. First impression when getting on the board: it’s surprisingly stable even if it is so narrow. I had no problems with balance. It is definitely NOT a beginner board. But if you can already ride a semi sinkerboard, then this thing is easy. At first I had ordered a 6’6 but I’m glad that I changed it to a 6’0. When standing it is quite stable and well balanced in the front-to-back axis.

When pumping it generates speed easily.

When pumping there is this forward surge that is missing on traditional boards. I think that it’s because of the shape of the tail. Normally when pumping with legs on traditional boards they rise more upwards and then slow down. This feels like going up and forwards.

When on the foil this thing is nice!

It definitely feels like a lot smaller board, not a 6’0. I think it is because most of the volume is beneath your feet. The nose of the board is slender. Also rail to rail feels responsive because the board is narrow. You can actually see your foil underneath which is pretty cool. Touchdowns are really smooth, there is no sticking at all, the board just gently kisses the water and comes up again.

I have yet to test the board with smaller foils. Fluid XLT is absolutely the biggest foil that I like to use even in ultralight winds. The board clearly works well with this size and bigger foils as the pumping is effective. But my main interest is using small foils like Veloce MH 750cm² in light winds and generating apparent wind. So it is yet to be seen how well the board will get to necessary speed for those foils. But I’m pretty confident that it should work well.”
