Look forward to riding with you in the Watermen's Retreat Foil Garden!!

Pretty different wings. Probably closest to the Mantis in feel. Kind of lock in and go. XPS is lighter, more wind range and balance and better at luffing out for riding swells.

North makes a good quality user-friendly product. Their standard wings are a bit more affordable but once you start putting premium materials like UPE and screw on handles.... price goes up. Try them out and let us know what you think.

I'm finding some bargains as a result of the higher prices. Worth noting that generally dealers (in the UK at least) have a default 10% discount but more leeway (about 15+) with north, presumably because of lower sales... Last year's kit generally selling at much more heavily discounted prices...
