Another image from the M2O race: Annie Reickert on her way to first place finish in the Women Sup Foiling category. She was on a Lift X110 v1, a very technical foil with amazing top speed, but that doesn't like to go slow and be pushed hard when pumping. A courageous choice as Lift now also offers a more recreation oriented X110 Florence which is a lot more user friendly, but not quite as high performance as the v1. I was recently able to test both and I'm starting to consider testing foils as my 5th foiling discipline.
