This is a video showing a comparison between F-one EagleX 700 and Eagle 690 in two Foil Drive assisted SUP foiling runs in the same day (July 25th).
I did a personal best of 51 dw runs in July and this is the recap of the month (mountain bike is FD SUP foiling and windsurfing is winging). Thanks to the presence of many visitors that came for the races, I had the chance to test downwind foils of six different brands (Armstrong, Axis, AFS, Duotone, Lift and Code). My two favorite ones of that bunch were the Code 770R and the Lift 110X Florence, but not even those matched the overall performance and smoothness of the F-one foils I ride.
Notice that one of the two days in which I didn't do runs was the day of the Paddle Imua (my wing broke at the start and I couldn't participate). Seems ironic, but it might just be the universe telling me to stick to the fun runs.

Tiny amount of NW energy at the outer buoys. It comes from the fetch indicated in the maps below of July 25 through 27. Not much of it should reach our north shore, maybe an occasional waist high set. For the rest is very small declining easterly windswell. Home guess for Hookipa is flat to waist high.
Wind map at noon. The other ones can be found here.
