What's up everyone and welcome to another Lift Journal Ride Report. In this episode/entry I am checking out the Operator 850 and 1050 by Omen Foils. After having such a great experience with the 36 Liter Flux I decided to give their wings a try as well. I have to say that as impressed with the flux I am even more impressed with the foils that Omen is producing. The surf influence that they have captured in both wings has been incredible. With that said I have decided to join the Omen team and am looking forward to working with them in the future with product testing and development. Anyway back to the fun stuff. Let's talk about some FOILS! As far as the front wings both the 850 and 1050 are 90 cm but each wing serves a different purpose. The 850 with a AR of 9.5 has an amazing low end for its size but speed and glide are insane with the ability to turn hard and fast in bigger more powerful surf. The 1050 has an even lower stall speed with a AR of 7.7 that feels stable and punchy through turns for its size. I have been having a blast with the 1050 in recent FL surf and waiting for some high winds to send a prone DW with the 850. The mast is made by ICE and is a No Limits V2 with a 1 degree of rake and found that the 75 is a perfect size for sandbars and prone surf feels. The wings are matched to the mast with a stainless steel fuse that is way smaller than others on the market which feel connected and constant confidence through all speed ranges. Also makes their higher Aspect Ratio front wings feel much faster than other front wings on the market. The tails have been a complete eye opener as well with their boomerang shape which provides a great low end bit also adds a little more bite in turns. I also want to give a little shout to @makeSURFmake for their fun little mast bolt holder product. Go check them out and support small businesses like these guys so they keep making cool stuff for us to buy haha.
