The Progression 125 was conceived as an exploration of the characteristics that define the Progression 140 foil. Through our research and development process, we recognized that the 140, while exceptional in its own right, primarily excels in delivering stability and performance from chest to head high waves. However, in the pursuit of accelerated performance, we acknowledged the need for a foil that can cater to faster and or larger moving waves as well as wing foiling speeds for riders of all levels.
With the 125, our goal was to preserve the fundamental and predictable feels of the 140 while introducing some key enhancements. We achieved this by focusing on 3 critical elements: speed, roll and efficiency. The 125 exhibits a significant increase in speed and roll, resulting in increased efficiency. Despite these advancements, we've ensured that the 125 maintains a forgiving low stall speed, providing riders with a broad speed range of easy usability.
One of the standout features of the 125 is its heightened pump and glide efficiency. Changes made to the foil section, aspect ratio and wingtip curvature, have greatly enhanced the overall efficiency of the Progression 125. Riders are using less cardio to reach their next wave, saving energy for the wave face and foiling better.
