The shape of the Mint is ideal for those like Cédric who want to go down in volume and discover a new dimension of wing foiling.
Wing foiler: Julien, GONG team rider, with the Mint FSP 2X, wing Plus Perf Series, HM85 mast, Ypra Surf-Freestyle and Freestyle stab.
Transition to a significantly lower volume
“I recently acquired a Mint 5’0 after practicing for quite some time with a Zuma and a Mint (two generations older) in 95l. Well, practice is not the exact term, struggling would be much closer…
Going from 95l to 75l gave me a real problem with stability on my knees, but there was no problem once I stood up, phew!”
Miracle at takeoff
“It was afterwards that the miracle took place! The board takes off on its own, because it is certainly not due to my catastrophic pumping technique, and smoothly too. This is the first time I've done a series of flights on long reaches on both sides, taking off easily each time, amazing!
Very good sensations in flight too, smooth and confident.
I've been looking for a long time for a shape that would allow me to progress by helping me erase my main flaw (to date, the others will undoubtedly follow... 😉): take off. I was super surprised and amazed by how easy it takes off!
Thanks for this shape! I was pretty close to quitting before discovering this board 😉”
