Hi,

has anybody already tested the north foil GT and can compare it to the standart wing?

Been riding the new duotone gt foils for a couple of months , compared to standard foils they are quicker , take a little more speed to start working as they are smaller in surface area. Defiantly a performance upgrade over standard.

Thanks for your Reply. Did you try before the gt the standart foil with the Winglets? Which are the biggest differences between both, is the gt still playful or is it just a racefoil? How About jibes with the gt and what made you Change the wing? Did you use it with the freefoil board or the profoil?
Thanks for answers.

The speedster is easier to ride. More forgiving and has a lower speed requirement to fly. Easier to gybe. Has a lower top end. Tracks better I think too.
GT is quicker , needs more speed to fly therefore tends to fall off the flying earlier when gybing .
I would say the speedster is more playful as it has a better bottom end, but will stand corrected.

Have ridden the profoil and the bendy tt style board (name? ) and way preferred the profoil board. It's a good piece of gear.

Cheers
