The aspect ratio of the P1300 is 8.8, not 7.5.
Who's in charge of math at that outfit?

Interesting.........

They did exactly the same thing on the RS1300 (span and AR) when it first came out over two years ago and to this day the specs have never been corrected on the GF website

Kinda makes it clear the P1300 and RS1300 are exactly the same wing.

Is it possible the P1500 and 1125HA are exactly the same weight or more typos?

Regardless... I'm a buyer

Where are you getting the specifications on the new foils from? I can't find anything.

P1125 & P1500 = both 122cm
AR P1125 vs P1500= 13.3 vs 9.75
Would love to try that P1125

Sorry, typo on the specs, see below-

NEW P1300 Wing Span 107cm/ Chord 15.24/ Projected Surface Area 1305/ Weight Grams 794/ Aspect Ratio 8.8

OLD RS1300 Wing Span 101cm/ Chord 15/ Projected 1306/ Weight 822grams/ Aspect Ratio 7.8

Not the same wing new and improved :) I love it....my go-to wing

The PNL185 was definitely a good wing but the New P1300 is definitely faster & turns better without any feeling of it skipping out which is most probably due to the "steps" in the tips... Plus it's much lighter....Similar on paper but definitely much better performance...

I own the P1300 and RS1300. Way different. The RS1300 is a dud. I never ride it. The P1300 is way better.

I125 and P1500 also night and day different.

I saw the 3 wings and the 20" Race tail in person today. Strange to see GoFoil in a matt black finish, but they do look sweet especially with the Hawaiian Islands logo on them.

I love my RS1300 for winging so I'd probably steer towards the 1125 and the 20" tail to mix and match into my quiver

You can check the new P-Series wings out at WSS Boards in Manly, ESS Boardstore on the Central Coast & The Standup Surf Shop/Foil Shop Perth....Also will be at Merimbula to demo...
The New P1300 is going to be my Go-To wing but the New P-1125HA is the surprise wing out of the Trio... I was nervous (scared) to try it & kept putting it off but I'm so glad I got on it...The thing is a weapon! Still super stable & predictable but tuns on a dime with no skipping out or twitchiness thanks to the steps...I've now tried it on both my 7'6" Jimmy Lewis and the 8'0" GoFoil Barracuda & will probably downwind it today...

The P-1300 looks like a boosted PNL185. I can't wait to get one because nothing I've ever ridden pumps like the PNL185 when the ocean has almost no energy.

Has it got a better way of locking on or do you still need to whack it on and off with a mallet? Does it still become loose and wobbly with use? Gofoil need to fix this design flaw- Why dont they just add another screw that could lock it on? They seem to be in denial that people are all selling Gofoil gear and switching to different brands because they dont like damaging their gear when trying to put the wings on and off. Who wants to spend $1200 on a foil then hit it with a mallet?

Have you actually spent anytime with the recent GoFoil product?

I've got quite a few wing days and am now bouncing the foil off the sand prone. Aside from corrosion on the excellent aluminum washers, everything looks new and fits just as tight as it did day one. The mallet and single screw is fast and easy. It's just a light tap, and very satisfying. I spent way more than $1200 on GoFoil and less than $10 for a rubber mallet which I've loaned out to many other foilers trying to seperate their fuselages from their masts or hit themselves over the head for loosing the T 6 screw driver... long live the T mast!

Yes, have been on Gofoil since the Kai wing came out. Love riding the RS850 on V2 mast. Yes everything is strong. But the if the wings fit tight on the mast then they need whacking on and off and can get chipped. And if they aren't on tight, then they wobble and you loose control and pump efficiency on foil. It's such a shame, they are great foils and am sure they could fix this issue. I thought they would have done something for the new range.

If you are chipping your Go Foil wings, you are using a bad mallet. I recommend the Dead Head you can get on Amazon. Rubber Mallets are not all the same so invest $20 and get a good one .

Here are some Youtube videos on different ways to get your wings tight. I just use the peel and stick metal tape usually. It is fast and simple.

If you are chipping your Go Foil wings with a Rubber mallet you need to buy a good Rubber mallet. One mistake people make is that all rubber mallets are the same. No, best to invest $20 and get a good mallet that you can use for years. I recommend the 18 oz Deadhead (by Est wing) from Amazon. It doesn't mar or discolor your wings or fall apart. I have had some of these Deadhead brand mallets for 5 years. I would post these links but I am not allowed to because I am new to Sea Breeze.
Also, go to Youtube and see videos on getting your Go Foil Wings tight on the Go Foil Channel. The easiest way is with peel and stick Air conditioning tape,Make sure it is the peel and stick tape and it is made up of metal that doesn't degrade easily. Search on Go Foil YT Channel "GoFoil- How To Tighten The Foil Wing Connectors"
For a rock solid approach search you tube with this title on Go Foil Channel "How to get wings really tight on Your Go Foil" which I explain how to use epoxy with aerosil as a filler to make a rock solid connection on any of your wings that have gotten sloppy. Make sure that there are no pits in your fuselage and fill anything that looks like it can get locked with molding putty. Use mold release and put in on about 3 times and do not wipe it off.
You should be able to use this same method with an Armstrong wing on any wing that uses the cone that I invented many years ago with my kite foils.

Yep, I rode the P1300. I found it to pump every bit as well as the old PNL185 but was heaps easier to turn.

P1125 ride impressions Winging (2nd time out)

*Caution - Long rant *

My 1st session on this foil was not in ideal conditions (gusty, choppy and I changed 3 variables in my setup - new front wing, new cut down R20 tail (15") and mast moved back from my usual position)
So today I got the conditions I imagined this foil would work for me. A light breeze of around 8knots with very little chop and small boat waves in every direction. I would usually go out in these conditions with my 8M Strike, GT2200 and a 20FTL or 17FTS with a 93cm V1.5 mast, Kalama E3 5'9" x 22 1/2 @ 95litres Me: 61 years old, 82 kg, novice/intermediate
So for my second session on my new to me P1125 I ran it with a 20FTL as I reckoned that would give me the lift and pitch stability Im used to, I had the mast all the way forward, 8M Strike for power. As soon as I got into deep enough water and flipped the board over a little gust came through and I pretty much popped straight up onto foil, went 3 metres and fell off to the side (like yesterday), all this before the first moored boat. OK, let's try again, but get into the bigger gap between the yachts so Ive got time to get up, go straight and not hit anything :-) Next gust comes and I don't even need to pump onto foil, Im up and flying with a very smooth and gradual ascent and Ive brought my stance in to very centered (no offset) as I believe my usual offset stance that Ive adopted for riding the GT foils is causing the board to roll and pitching me off. BINGO ! I go straight into a 1.6km (1 mile run), then another 1km run switch stance, then more long runs without falling, breaching or stalling.... Im not able to gybe as the wind is coming and going and Im trying to turn to tight, too fast, so I just drop into the water, switch stance and go again. Im laughing my head off as now Ive got a feel for this foil and it is AMAZING !
GLIDE - The glide is incredible, it just stays high and when you drop the wing power you just coast along for ever, a quick sheet in to pick up a bit of speed and glide again....so smooth....little boat wakes or wind swell/chops, just glide onto them and keep going, turn hard upwind and keep gliding, turn downwind, release the wing and keep gliding...did I say this foil glides....if you think an RS1300 or a GT2200 glides well, this thing is GLIDE squared......
PUMP - due to the high landmasses which mostly surround this inland harbour there are large wind shadows of around 150 meters that I usually have to pump though with a combination of board and wing pumping and after 15 seconds or so Im usually getting pretty cooked, the P1125 just took 2 quick pumps, glide for awhile, 2 quick pumps, glide for a while to stay high and maintain speed, really quite effortless. The few times where I nearly dropped off foil and back onto the water I just put a bit more effort into the board pumps and gave a few quick wing pumps with my back hand to gain speed to keep the show rolling, Ive never had a foil combo that was this easy to "dig out of the hole" I also found I could hold a very high upwind course by using slow, rhythmic board pumps to generate apparent wind and as these pumps were effortless and smooth, I feel I could keep going for quite a distance without expending a lot of energy. Next windless and waveless day I'll fit my FoilDrive and start my journey towards flat water pumping techniques where Im not relying on holding onto a wing for support.
DRAG - getting up in such light wind was easier than expected, I think the low drag of this HA foil allows the board to build speed easily and it doesn't seem to slow down in between board and wing pumps, so the speed just keeps building very quickly and once the board leaves the water the low drag just lets it get up and flying effortlessly. In the gusts it was simply a matter of filling the wing with air and the board would move forward and rise gradually and smoothly onto foil without any input from me. Very similar to getting up with the GT2200, but not such a sudden lift and a lot less drag.it's just so smooth and effortless. I also noticed that when I had touchdowns due to loss of wind or just turning too hard upwind that once the board touched the water it didn't slow down suddenly and come to a stop, it kept moving which meant all I had to do was sheet in or pump the wing with my back hand quickly a few times (flutter pumps) and Id regain speed, pop up and off we go again. Remember this is in sub 8 knot wind. The only times I actually came to a stop was because I need time to shake my head in disbelief and laugh. The passing yachts were giving a wide berth to "the crazy guy sitting in the water with that big orange wing"
STABILITY - after my first 3 or 4 runs I was comfortable with the board and I started to experiment with offsetting my stance so I could start laying into some long, "powder style" turns. The 20FTL tail gave me solid pitch stability so I could focus on how much toe/heel pressure was needed for roll turns. Yes the roll sensitivity is probably the most of all the foils I have ridden, but once I adjusted my inputs I was experiencing beautiful drawn out turns, not sharp and snappy, but very stable and so smooth. I did overcook it a few times and fell backwards as the corrective inputs were too little, too late but Im looking forward to trying this foil with smaller tails and maybe a bit more wind. Yaw type turns were easy and it was fun going hard upwind onto a boat swell or wind chop, nearly coming to a stop, then spinning the board around flat to get some wind in the wing and gliding away on the minuscule wave.
I did 1 run where I went for speed and my Garmin watch clocked me at 23km/h, so for 8 to 10 knots with a 20" tail that's not too bad, Im not really into speed anyway, my "thing" is trying to ride my board like a snowboard in powder and all my GoFoils (I dont have anything else) let me experience that to varying degrees in all wind and water conditions.
Did I say I love this foil? Im so, so stoked to have had the opportunity to pick one up locally so soon and Im looking forward to a long and rewarding relationship, especially as I progress into pumping and downwind style riding.
