"Whitebird serien fra AFS er noe av det mest effektive som du kan putte mellom deg og foilen din. De større størrelsene kan du padle opp gjerne med SUP foiling som formål, mens de mindre er helt rå wingemaskiner. Til vingning er 85 literen favoritten min (jeg er ca 88kg) på den flyr jeg i 3-4 ms med f.eks en Axis Fireball på 773cm2 og en 6.0 Unit 2025. I tilegg til en svært god skrogform er Whitebird god å stå på og gir veldig god kontakt med foilen. Fotstropper kan monteres, så hopping er null stress. Likevel anbefaler jeg at du også har et mindre freestylebrett som en AFS PRO 70 eller no til dagene du vil kose deg høyere oppi lufta. Dette er Mid-Length på sitt aller beste!" HELGE ROTNES |
