At Jeremy Riggs flat water clinic this week we did a pop up race could be a fun new concept. This was the first one, Johnny (no shirt)was on 7'8 barracuda with Gofoil HA front, I'm in red (claimed the win hard) 7'10 barracuda with Gofoil PNL, Jeremy in red with all black shorts on 8' barracuda and Gofoil 1500 then max on custom barracuda and Gofoil really small HA

Great concept but will need de-fib or an ambulance on standby for us old blokes haha. Pretty sure Jeremy won.

Fun format

Everyone on GoFoil and Barracuda! Obviously the barracuda gets you out of the water quick, but I think a lighter board will almost certainly let you accelerate faster and maintain a higher speed once in the air. I wonder how the same people would fare on one of those super light barracuda clones that a few people are experimenting with now.

Riding a clone is like kissing your sister. It's just not the same..
Stay safe and out of yourself
