Liquid Force Galaxy V2 Foilboard-4'2"

The Galaxy board pairs really well with the Impulse wing for a super smooth ride. The deck pad is comfortable and keeps your feet secured on the board. The plastic outer coating makes the board light weight and ding resistant which is great for on-the-go foilers. The board has a little more flex in the middle than I prefer, but overall this board will work well for all types of riders.

I am brand new to foiling and took the galaxy out for my first session on a 24" mast with an 8m kite in ~17mph winds. I could not be happier with how the board performed. With only minor prior foiling experience behind a boat, I set my expectations low. The board was so user friendly, however, that by the end of my session I was cruising in both directions.

I can't stress enough how forgiving the board is for new riders. When I had too much weight on the back of the board and the foil would start to cavitate and rise out of the water, the board/foil managed to stay balanced and allowed me to adjust my stance without slamming hard into the water. The water starts are smooth, comfortable, and easy to practice. I always felt in control of the board (even when I wasn't), and having confidence in your equipment goes a long way when you're learning something new.

After another session on this board with a 14m foiling kite in light (11mph) winds, I could tell why even experienced foilers love this board. I never thought I would feel so comfortable on a foil board after only a few sessions!

I started foiling not too long ago and have been drawn to this board the most out of all my options. Especially learning to ride strapless, I feel like you can really test out your weight distribution with it -- and the huge pad gives you a lot of room to suss out what feels the best, and gives great grip without being too sticky. I've enjoyed the lightness of it; it's not bulky or awkward to carry or maneuver around in the water. This board combined with the Liquid Force Impulse foil/60cm mast has been a great set-up for me to learn and progress. I think this shorter size (as opposed to the 4'8") might be better for lighter riders -- I'm a woman weighing around 130lbs and this board length has felt just right for me.
