The time when the transition from kite foiling to wing foiling was to the detriment of sensations is over according to François who tested the new Ypra.
“First test of the Ypra XL with the Neutra 2023 5.5, Lethal 95l, 85 kg, advanced level.
Everything has already been said, but I had to test it, and the sloppy onshore conditions turned out to be a good omen at the end of the day.
15/16 knots then 10/12 then 8 knots, the board stayed in the air all the time and without ever forcing … the foil creates speed wind … stunning … As if I was doing kite foiling but with a wing!
The glide is generous, you overtake everyone, and as a bonus, you head upwind like crazy.
The tacks are so simple with this Ypra XL.
It’s just amazingly efficient ???.
I finally have the glide of a kite foil with my wing… it’s completely crazy in sensations… really!
At all points of sail, the speed is there, the heading is crazy and the glide is extremely easy, and not locked at all ??????.
I simply loved it…a real Racing wing, I found it super simple and intuitive….nothing complicated. But its efficiency is very high. I’m waiting to test the Veloce to compare their glide on the flat, but an Ypra may come into my quiver after this test. »
