Jimmy Lewis Flying V 5’11” review

Conclusions and verdict

Extremely performing in Wing and SUP Foling, the Jimmy Lewis Flying V 5’11’’ is one of the best foil boards we’ve tested to date. The board blends excellent stability, tracking, liveliness, pop/lift and acceleration. Also, in the case of unwanted touch downs, the board pops back up without losing much speed. Construction wise the board meets the highest standard, even though the deck pad, particularly in the section over the foil mast attachment, should be equipped with a tail kick and the hull finish could be more resilient to scratches. Also, for freeride Wingfoiling the board cannot be equipped with the double front straps option. These drawbacks aside, the Jimmy Lewis Flying V 5’11’’ comes highly recommended to wing/SUP foilers.

The Jimmy Lewis Flying V 5’11’’ is a great board for progressing your everyday riding on and comes highly recommended.
