L1 Single Skin Wind Range
While we would love to be able to define wind ranges in quantifiable absolutes, it’s not possible to offer a single wind range that is reasonably accurate for any two riders.
In our best effort to offer our best possible assistance to riders seeking to select a parawing size, we provide the below illustration of Greg’s wind range, based on specific gear and specific segments of his riding. The following descriptions from Greg are comparisons intended to be tools that you can use to calibrate for your individual, current riding variables.
The low-end range fade is variations in board, foil and technique effectiveness, and water conditions.
The high-end range fades into increasingly high power load. The L1 does not have the raw depower of the S3, so it pulls harder, but in a manageable, effective, upwind direction.
