New Triton for Winging

The neat thing about spending time at Kailua (on a day when the crowds are not there, but the wind sports zealots are) is that new stuff always finds its way out there.

I saw this on the beach - the new Triton Winging Monofoil.

Definitely a wider span than the T1 (which was developed for kite foiling).

I watched the owner riding it - held its line easily and he was on a 5.0.  I talked to him after and he said it is way easier to use than the T1.

Time to repair some boards (so I can save up some pennies to get this in March when it is released to the public).

New (Used)Triton T1

The proceeds I got from selling No.28 got turned around immediately to purchase this new foil - the Triton T1 Monofoil.  I got a really go deal on this as it was a demo.  There were a few scratches - but nothing that some 400 and 600 grit wet dry sandpaper couldn't take care of.

I dissembled the mast base plate - mast, then placed ultra tefgel on the bolts.  The plate-mast is a really tight fit (which I prefer over a looser fit - less chance of a shift under load).

And as one would expect, as soon as I get this in the wind dies... It'll be several days before the wind comes up strong enough to test this foil out.  Patience in effect -
