Proof of purchase is required, original purchaser only. That has been my recent experience. Seems reasonable.
Lift x Florence x Pyzel prone mid/dw shape released in the US: 6’0” x 19” @ 60L
$2,200, somewhere between for example KT Super K 2 regular and pro carbon editions
Has anyone noticed the fuse to mast connection wobbles (on the roll axis) quite a bit, even with everything properly seated and the bolts properly torqued?
Trying to make sure this isn’t just me. I can feel the wing wiggle in my hands if I hold it by the wing while walking my board into the water through shorebreak.
This seems to happen with every mast-wing connection, and my mast was purchased brand new ~ 7 mo ago. Always am good about brushing/rinsing the sand and salt out too.
Try some aluminum tape on the wall inside the wing. I did that because I felt in one of the masts I use and fixed it
Seems to happen over time sometimes. If you take a beer can and cut a little shim out of it that usually tightens it right up
Does anyone have any info on the thickness and chord of the new mast?
I heard 13.5, but really not sure about that.
I guess it is at least around 14 since the M2 is 15.5.
I was expecting a new tail also.
The 21 Florence is good, but I would like a smaller tail for theses new wings.
Something like the AFS Ultra Glide or Axis Skinny 30.
It looks like the links have been removed… I hope that they will make a 32+" M6.
Wonder if they pulled the links down due to delayed shipment or something. Real’s website says they’re available mid july.
Looks like there will be multiple sizes: Lift Foils M6 Mast — REAL Watersports

I think the 28 and 32 are just the « old » M2
Looks like they have 3 sizes: M6 Series Foil Mast – Lift Foils
According to the website the profile is 14mm thick
On another note the new DW foils are back on the site today + a new tail
I aligned the 20 carve, 20 Florence, and 21 flow in photoshop:
I’m expecting to really get on with the new 20 Florence. Looks similar to my favorite combo of 20 carve + extender

Damn, they are really going all in on that Florence partnership (not surprisingly).

Very interesting. I’ve been thinking about jumping ship but if those bigger Florence wings are legit I might need to reconsider…
Lift’s Carve tails are excellent. The 20-Carve and 26-Carve both feel spot on, with that balance of control and speed.
I’m lucky enough to have a limited-run 26X-Carve, which is basically the 26-Carve with a longer fuse length. It’s brilliant. That little extra fuse gives more drive and stability without losing the bite.
So Lift, if you’re listening, please bring out the 20 and 26 with a longer fuse. Skip the extender. The idea of bolting one on just shits me to tears
You’ve already nailed the design. The 26X proves it. Lets make the Carve tails great again.
I mean the value of that Florence branding is switching over a bunch of surfers so it doesn’t make sense to just have high performance wings in the line. You gotta have something more beginner friendly there as well to get em hooked!
I recently picked up a 130x, and I’m loving it. I found the carve 26 tail a bit to short for my taste, but have been running a glide 25 on it. I feel like there’s almost no front foot pressure. Anyone have some recommended tails, outside of the Florence models? Looking for glide, but also a bit of stability and front foot pressure. Maybe just add the spacer to the carve?
I’d be happy to get a 120HA but back ordered with no delivery date
