How it surfs
US retailer customer scores on the Progression 170 are among the highest in the entire prone-foil category — consistently 4.7–4.8 across MACkite, Blue Planet Surf and Foil Zone.
The main critique is aspect ratio: pure-glide riders (advanced pumpers, fast-wave connectors) will still prefer higher-aspect wings from Lift, Code and Armstrong.
