Description

In this episode, Jeff and Skip from MACkite break down one of the best wind days of the season on Lake Michigan. With gusts pushing 30+ knots and waves rolling in, they took full advantage—testing everything from the Cabrinha AER wing and Code S foils to North’s SF lineup and the KT Super K board. They share honest impressions of what worked, what surprised them, and what they'd do differently next time. Whether you're dialing in your foil setup or just stoked on high-wind sessions, this one’s packed with firsthand insights, gear comparisons, and a few good laughs.


Topics Covered:
