The Fairytale of the spectator, the pumper and the police
The Fairytale of the spectator, the pumper and the police goes somewhat like this.
The pumper is pumping his foil on a rainy Sunday afternoon one the lake of Zürich. The maybe grumpy spectator walks by and sees the pumper pumping his foil in the lake where the water temperature is about 5 degrees celsius. The spectator thinks that where the pumper is pumping he should not be pumping so he calls the police. The police arrives and and questions the pumper. The police tells the pumper: we love what you do, we pump ourselves, but if somebody calls the police we have to show up.
There are always people who want to pump. There will always be people calling the police for what seems to be no reason. The police will always have to show up. It is their job, their duty.
Fairytale take-home message: if you have a problem with your neighbour, with your wife, with your co-worker, try to solve the problem in a bilateral way, talk to each other, voice your concerns, if possible without going to court or calling the police. Humans are social beings, problems between two humans should always be solved bilaterally. Try to talk to each other as many times as you tried to learn to pumpfoil! You will be a more happy person afterwards. Agree to disagree.
Happy pumping! Happy socialising!

These values are measured after running 3d computer analyses through the XFLR5 open source platform.
We used a type 2 (fixed lift) LLT Wing analysis with a water density of 1023.0 kg/m3.
Stall Speed: Required speed to lift the needed weight, Angle is set at 5 degrees up at stall.
Average Speed: Required speed to lift the needed weight when cruising, Angle is set at 1 degrees up at mean.
Max Speed: Required speed to lift the needed weight when getting through max speed, Angle is set at -3 degrees up at highest.

Lift to drag ratio / Angle of attack. In blue the profile used on the new Osprey 1850, in red the profile used on the other ONIX models.
Here you can see the 2D results. In blue is the new foil profile, and in red is the profile I use on the ONIX foils until now. So you can see that the lift to drag coefficient in function of the angle of attack is nearly double. It’s about 40 % higher. So in theory, it means that it should be really efficient.
