Little run from our Shop rider Kevin Riley who is based on the south coast near Bognor regis
On this day Kevin used the F -ONE 1290 eagle
How old are you and how fit would you say you are ? 48 years old Fairly fit but not a gym person fit
Conditions : Easterly about 15ish knots – Small swell about knee high
Location So this run was from Elmer beach to Bognor yacht club.
Finished this with 55% battery left, More throttle and pumping than normal but still loads of fun.
I was Feeling good after So I had another 45mins outside the club with my other 2 batteries
Have you done any shorter distances for DW ..or did you just send it ?
I’ve done plenty of blasts upwind 200m or so and just rode the swell back.
Equipment used
Board setup is a 4.6 f-one 33 litre
1290 eagle xxs fues and 210dw – 1290 glides amazing but turns so well for that size foil.
