AFS Ultra Glide 41 Review

For a bit of a change of pace, this review is primarily done on youtube. Here's some quick notes for you to review on the UG41

Rider: 86kg swell rider focused on downwind upwind laps with pocket rocket parawings.

UG41

Glide - 10/10, checks all my boxes.

Carving - 7/10, turns great for a UHA tail but it's not a true surf tail.

Pump - 8/10, meets all my needs, doesn't have amazing projection though.

Pitch stability - 10/10, never did I have an issue with pitch when using this tail.

Breach stability - 10/10, supports softer masts nicely.

VS the HA38: In my opinion, better in every way.
