FEEDBACK: YPRA XLS

After having tested it in wing foiling, first test of the Ypra XLS on surf foiling sesh for François.

Wing foiler : Malo, team rider GONG, with the Ypra MS Front Wing.

“Wow, what a session!! I would never have imagined being able to have so much fun with this front wing in surf foiling… A session with 10 seconds period and maximum thigh high waves at the take off then waves flattened out but kept you going. Just the quality of paddling to reach the peak feels good to begin with, you feel that it glides and carries!

At the take off it is obvious. I’m off much better than with my Fluid MH 1000, though waves were very soft …. Not to mention a wetsuit 5.5/4.5, a hood, booties and 86 kg! In the air I loooooved it! I find the quality of glide of the Ypra S range as in wing foiling, and the lift is next level!

Really, I catch the sections with disconcerting ease.

Without doing anything, I glide, I fly, so to speak. The difference is obvious with friends with whom I took a wave for example… Next I tried pumping, with a certain apprehension because I had already tried with the Ypra S 1000 but without much success, and there, I can say that I covered my 150 meters to get back to the peak, limited at the end by lack of cardio and speed… as soon as you lose a little speed, it’s dead! But still, let’s say that to cover a few hundred meters, the Ypra XLS is easy for a confirmed surf foiler.

Despite its 1 m wingspan, it turns really well too, you can link the maneuvers, and you let it hover… cool… waooouh. It glides really hard! In fact, I’m very pleasantly surprised, and I imagine it in the offshore bumps, it must be awesome, that’s for sure!

It actually hovers with great ease and stability.

The HM mast also helps with that, that’s for sure. I was on Fluid H 42, curious to see what it could look like on Fluid H 45. In short, definitely a very good wing in these types of conditions!”
