After using my Naish 5'11" foil, I upgraded to a smaller, lighter foil.
Since Boardsports California (my local shop) had a huge sale, I decided to upgrade. I purchased the board online (after some email discussion with Jesse).
I selected the 5'7, 95-liter version of the board at $949 (about 40% below retail). I sold my original Naish 5'11 110-liter board on Craigslist.

FOOTSTRAP INSERT LAYOUT

New for S26
- All models have a decreased nose and tail width compared to the S25 shape. This is more apparent in the smaller sizes up to 95 and only slightly visible for sizes above 95. The result is reduced swing weight, benefiting its use with the Wing-surfer, especially in windier conditions.
- The foil track positioning has been moved closer to the tail on all sizes. This adjustment is more significant on the smaller sizes than on the bigger sizes.
- The tail kick was moved back to align with the foil track boxes, lengthening the water line and resulting in an earlier lift-off.
- The double concave nose shape was accentuated, softening re-entry when coming off the foil.
