FEEDBACK: CRUZADER FSP PRO

Sailing in silence is the new deal with the Cruzader FSP Pro! A new style of session for Warrick who shares his feedback on the Cruzader:

Wing foiler : Valentin, GONG team rider, with the Cruzader FSP Pro and the Superpower.

“What more can be said about the Cruzader? It really is a miracle of a board, and I haven’t even flown it in SUP yet (soon!)… I have the 7XL for my 97kg and today I made some tests to try to understand it more… Very little wind, a Curve XLT and a Droid 2023 in 6.5… for this board, overpowered! So my test was this… Try to launch with no pumping… Launch with pumping… to try to understand what changes with this pump machine…

So firstly, the board speed is so good.

Make it flat in the water and it just CUTS – you can see the bow wave curling from the front of the board – sub-zero cool. Get moving, and lean onto the rear foot for a second, and release. The back pops, and she flies. Now, let’s fly in less wind, but with pumping… here are my sensations… bear off, pumping wing and board (focus on really pumping board) and before you know it, the board speeds up so much that you already have zero wind in the wing… ok… same again but quickly start to turn back across the wind… WOW – the wing fills so much more now with the apparent wind! Something to really pump against! And the rear of the board pops you forward a LOT – this is a huge factor with this design! And then she is free, few more board pumps to gain speed and we have the wing full from the apparent wind and we are cruising… careful careful increase on the front foot pressure whilst lowering the front hand a touch and we accelerate… Quick look over the shoulder to see if the gust continues for more and… glassy… the gust is already finished, and we understand that the launch happened after the gust was finished. No – this cannot be right – try again. Same same and same. Over and over.

“Magical and beautiful. What more can you want from a shape?”

Soon I will replace my Curve XLT with a v2 foil with more aspect and then, I cannot imagine the limit. For me, I love all conditions but there is something very beautiful and very special about flying in silence. I really love this. Whatever gear you have, if you have these days when you wish for more wind, there is NO doubt, this board is the best way forward. Magical and beautiful. What more can you want from a shape? And even just to look at it! Picture tries to capture the feeling of the session. Gratitude. Thank you, our friends at GONG 😊🙏”
