I was excited to get a wing for Christmas!
I got the Duotone Echo 6.0. It has a metal "boom" so I think it will feel nice and familiar to holding a windsurf sail. 6 weeks later I finally found time to unbox it and figured out the rigging.

A few tips... The boom part goes to the outside. I did it wrong the first time!

| Wrong boom placement! |

| Correct boom placement |
Also, the loop line goes around the boom extension - it wasn't in the instructions but I found some youtube videos which helped. Lastly, the pumping is pretty hard on my back, so I need to use better posture or may someday switch the bi-directional pump to just using the downstroke.
The bladder release really wasn't set properly, I'm going to inflate/deflate it a few times until it seats properly.

I hope to get it out in the snow in the next week. Here is a shot of the first setup.
