Neilpryde Glide Swift Kit Carbon

The Neil Pryde stuff is fantastic

Wicked fast and agile. Very tactile, and nimble. Fun to cruise super fast, or play in the waves. Bruce, Rob and Chris - you guys know your stuff and it shows in spades with your advice. I don't listen to my wife which means I was able to buy this, glad I listened to you guys..!!! (Hopefully she never sees this)

Tres bon foil, rapide au decollage, maniable et tres user frendly.Vraiment a recommander autant pour un rideur de 50 kg que 75 kg .

pro
the foil has improved my tacks
it's easy to ride
cons
i was hoping to get a greater speed out of it
the foil has a hum when riding where my cabrina foil doesn't

I was happy to find NP product available in North America, was getting impatient. The front wings are compatible with HP fuselages. It was recommended that that 14 front wing would be equivalent to the old HP 19 in terms of lift, I found that to be true, and it is faster too. It turns easier, but is a bit less yaw-stable, perhaps that is due to the stab which has tiny winglets compared to the old HP 2.5 stab. I have also used 10 front wing, which of course needs more speed to lift but has amazingly low stall speed. I'm going to mainly use the 14 until I get my jibes down. It is curious that the mast is labelled "high modulus," but no product literature or video says anything about this at all. Virtually all other foil makers tout their high modulus masts as providing extra performance and they tend to charge a stiff premium for that product. A shortcoming of NP is lack of any instructions and lack of user product information on their products, with the exception of wing inflation/wing packing videos for their Fly wing.
