Case #80 – Sam Loaders Orbit, Misunderstood & Underrated

from The XFoils Podcast Hosted by The Xfoils

Sam Loader joins us all the way from New Zealand. Sam is behind the PPC Orbit in collab with Nova, and we had a lot to say about it before we even got him on the mic. We spent a couple of weeks in the Gorge during AWSI on the 2.7, 3.5 and 4.5m and walked away with some strong feelings. Strong enough that we did a pre chat lead up to this interview because we felt it deserved more light than we gave it in Case 75. The Orbit earned it. Here's the thing. The double skin parawing stigma needs to stop. We are shutting it down right here. We loved this wing, we sailed it hard, and we are telling you to stop talking about it and get out on the water. Some things just need to be experienced and the Orbit is one of them. Good chat, some fun hangouts and meetings with Sam at AWSI. He is a genuine one, takes feedback to heart, and truly wants to build something special. Now go sail this thing and tell us we are wrong please. 🎙️ Sponsored by Kite Puerto Rico + the N1 Surf ShopSupport the podcast by subscribing, dropping a 5⭐ review, and grabbing your gear from someone you trust:👉 www.KitePuertoRico.com Get and orbit: https://www.kitepuertorico.com/products/ppc-orbit-parawing?_pos=5&_sid=5db54b3bd&_ss=r If you can't get gear from us but still want to support the podcast:☕ https://buymeacoffee.com/xfoils📲 Follow along: @TheXFoils
