This morning I had the chance to finally ride the GL140 From @Gofoil… I’ve been riding the GL180 Pretty exclusively for the past five months with the pedestal flat tail for the most part. Really just focusing on connecting waves and flying as long as possible per takeoff. The 180 has gotten me to a place where on occasion a 5 or 6 wave connection isn’t unheard of. The 140 has been all the buzz since I got my 180, literally, they announced it a week after I got the 180 which was in and of itself extremely hard to track down. So is the game for chasing the latest tech in foiling.
Anyway, I tried it out at the super secret spot I go to almost anytime I’m in the South Bay foiling. As always, I was apprehensive about how different it would be, lift, projection, speed. I’ve seen all the clips on social media with guys like @FoilTomo and @DerekHama Killing it with the 140 so I knew if it didn’t work it wasn’t the arrow… ; ) The conditions were being called 3'-4' fair… I’d say for @Surfline that was pretty fair, not as big as last week with some should to head high sets on occasion, it still had a little juice left in it. Paddling out was a bit more tippy than with the albatross of a wing that the 180 is but, that was to be expected. The first wave was just like the 180… easy. The turning was much looser and you no longer have to plan out the long drawn out turns that are fairly regular with the 180. It was much more like “surfing”. You can go up and down the face fairly effortlessly and cutbacks and figure 8’s are no where near as critical. Though I fell several times trying to find the right spot and pushing where the turns could go. The one thing that surprised me the most was the amount of lift and speed for a wing that’s quite a bit smaller. Several times I blew out of the wave with too much speed to make the cutback. So that’s going to need more work on my end. There were a couple of takeoffs where on the 180 I could fake it and pump my way into the wave to make the drop or kick out and have enough lift to pump back to the next wave to get going. That’s just not the case, at least on day one, with the 140. You need to be a touch deeper and in the pocket to get an effortless launch. That’s not a criticism just an observation. I adjusted and it was great. I think my favorite part is that the smaller 140 allows you to take any set wave without worrying about being bucked (think riding a smaller horse). There were a couple of larger faster set waves this morning and they were so fun. I was just playing doing cutbacks and just playing up and down the faces. I mean ear to ear smile with my comfort and confidence on this wing. To be fair this spot isn’t a critical wave… it’s very forgiving compared to a beach break but having a little less foil was a perfect change.
Connecting waves was the next real question I had, when taking the long walk to the “secret” spot. It did have a touch less lift initially for me. I adjusted my weight a couple of times trying to get it dialed and I’d say after the 4th or 5th wave I felt it starting to come together. You can’t "fake it” as much with the 140 as the 180 but I’d say the trade off with the turning was well worth any sacrifice with the lift when pumping.
All in all, I think the 180 is the perfect step in the @GoFoil line up coming off of a Iwa or even a Maliko, if anyone still has one of those. Learning to connect and get more out of each flight… and building up some stamina. Pumping multiple waves is a real workout. I’m truly happy that I went to the 180 from the Iwa and then moved to the 140. I think the jump from Iwa to 140 would have taken a lot more time to adjust to, but hey, that’s just me. If you’re on the 180 and just aren’t happy with your turns being aggressive enough I think you’ll find your answer in the 140. I figure when the waves lose their punch I’ll probably switch back to the 180 but for now the future will be in with The GL140 and trying to master it.
four days later...
The waves have lost their punch as they inevitably do and the effort to fly the 140 is far too much. For me the 140 is for anything over waist, maybe chest+. Hopefully, as I progress that will change.. but for now that's my rule of thumb.
Best of luck on your foiling journey and hopefully I’ll see you in the line up. #loyaltothefoil #youshouldjoinus

Today’s flush tanks are smarter than ever. Features such as sensor-based flushing, touchless operation, and self-cleaning systems are becoming increasingly popular. These innovations not only enhance hygiene but also make toilets more convenient and efficient to use.
Additionally, compact designs and silent-fill technology improve user experience, especially in households where multiple bathrooms or shared spaces require quiet operation. https://avahome.pk/product-category/seat-covers/

My marriage of 6 years have been filled with endless misery which led to the divorce I never wanted with my husband. Everything crashed and we went our separate ways. I tried to move on but it was so difficult for me because I still loved my husband and my daughter has always cried because she misses her father. I had no choice rather than to seek help which led me to contacting DR Ilekhojie. After seeing so many good remarks about his work and reaching out to him, he assured me of reconciling me and my husband with his reconciliation ritual. He explained to me that my husband is going to change his mind about the divorce and return and we will be a happy family again. I am glad to tell you all that the love and happiness has been reinstated and we got back together all thanks to Dr Ilekhojie. He is never too busy to help anyone. So contact him now if you need help as well. Website: https://gethelps.online or Just text him via WhatsApp +2348147400259
I’m sharing my experience to help anyone who may find themselves in the same difficult situation I was in just a few months ago. I work in the banking sector and, like many others, I was drawn to the world of cryptocurrency with the hope of building a stronger financial future. I took time to do what I believed was proper research. The platform I invested in looked very professional, the team seemed responsive, and everything about it felt legitimate. Unfortunately, I was wrong.
What I did not realize at the time was that I had walked straight into a phishing scam. In a matter of seconds, all of my Bitcoin and USDT holdings were gone. I was in complete shock. Years of savings vanished almost instantly, and I felt absolutely helpless.
The turning point came one weekend when I was playing tennis with some friends. I shared my experience casually, just trying to vent. One of the members of our club told me about Morphohack Cyber Service. He mentioned that his company had worked with them in the past to recover sensitive business data and that their team was trustworthy.
I contacted Morphohack immediately, and from the first conversation, I felt a sense of hope. They took the time to understand my situation, asked for details, and began investigating right away. Within days, they traced the stolen funds and eventually recovered my crypto assets.
I cannot overstate how thankful I am to Morphohack. They were professional, respectful, and most importantly, effective. They turned a nightmare into a story of relief and recovery.
If you have been scammed or lost your crypto, do not give up. There is real help out there. Morphohack gave me back more than just money, they gave me peace of mind. Their contact information: ( Morphohack@cyberservices . com )
