Gong HiPe Pro 5'6 wing foil board 115L - first ride

The board felt pretty good, but it is a bit shorter than what I'm used to so had to adjust to that. The board feels very rigid despite being inflatable. I found the deck a bit slippery compared to my F-One Rocket Wing V2. I did this first test without foot straps, but tried to keep my feet where they would be with straps. The stance feels super wide - even for a tall guy like me. For casual riding I will not use the back strap so I guess it will be fine. I crashed a ton of times and I struggled to nail my jibes. This was mainly due to a very different balance than my other board. Also I didn't felt as connected to the foil as normal - maybe the added thickness of the board plays a role here. The release was ok but not great. Also on touchdowns it's a lot harder to recover - at least riding strapless. I was very curious to test how well I could balance the board as inflatables are known for being a bit wobbly. I had no problems, but it is definitely not for beginners! Overall I'm satisfied with the board, especially for travel. For everyday riding I still prefer my Rocket Wing.
