While on the second wave with a roughly 80’ rope we encourage you to be outside of the wave and gradually edge into the wave all while holding onto the handle. This setting will more than likely take some time – but the goal is to understand the power of the wave, where the force is coming from and you will need to adjust your weight \/ movements to these new forces. Once you feel you like you understand the habits of the wave and how you need to adjust for them – drop the handle and begin your flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSETTING 3 SENSATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFLYING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ronix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42574971895968,"sku":"SO-242613","price":249.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2503\/4026\/files\/673b94e1d660c.gif?v=1746042577"},{"product_id":"armstrong-performance-795-foil-mast-2023","title":"Armstrong Performance Carbon 79.5cm Foil Mast","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AzsDVS5Lt-M\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e \u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dmc0blJrIeA\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHighly responsive for prone surf, wing, wake foiling and SUP surf\/downwinding. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDevelopment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs the sport develops, riders push themselves and the equipment to the limits.
