I got in a late afternoon session with the 4'8" prone board and the PNL185. The first couple of waves I caught, I had to get the feel for prone foiling again - but I was good to go after that. The rest of the waves I caught I was pumping back out to the lineup and could have easily gotten 2 for 1s.
I tried a few of these wide span high aspect ratio front foils now - the Armstrong HA1125 and HA925, Go Foils GL240/GL210/GL180/GL140 - and I've got an Axis ART 999 in bound. This PNL 185 is user friendly and seems to have a much lower stall speed (compared to the Armstrongs). I think the GL180 may just be a tad more user friendly - but the PNL 185 is easier to pump back out.
The other thing I noticed (and already knew, but needed to get some actual data) is I need to thin out the cord on the rear stabilizers I've been making. The one I recently finished and used winging the Kujira 1210 is substantially thinner than any of the previous ones. I'll thin the one I used yesterday prone foiling and compare performance.
