How to start WING FOILING with a SUP
Can’t get the board to turn off the wind. I try to twist w my hips and move the wing forward but it just carves back head to wind!
Great tutorial. My tip is do this on skateboard (if comfortable on skateboard) in parking lot. U almost don’t need wind if slightly downhill. Get wing handling down on skateboard. Fantastic way to learn. 2 nd tip don’t try to learn it on huge wings. Likely to go thru the wing when it back winds and drops in water. Instead of first place in 5k going thru ribbon u trash ur new wing. Wait for windier days to get on med size wings. ( easier to not drop in water, harder to backwind or go faster than wind). 3rd tip if u don’t like fast crashes Maby be on low aspect big begginger foil, not overpowered on wing. Enjoy crashing. 3rd tip is be snaking a bit on your passes, get comfortable turning. 4th tip I still haven’t done one on foil but soon!!
Shark: too many foilers theese days!
Salut Gwen. Du coup entre Razor et Pure, quelle est ta préférence ? Belle journée.
Wow great video! What helmet is he wearing there?
Hey, I just tried sup foiling on flatwater with the 115l version of the Duotone Downwinder and the Fanatic high aero aspect 2000 wing for the first time, but after a couple strokes the board immediately turns and doesn’t go straight. I have a 75cm mast, so it’s quite confusing. Any tips?
For light wind wingfoiling (10~12 mph), would there be a significant advantage to choose the 1100?
HA800 is an incredible foil ! I use it for winging and never came a cross such a good foil. Very accessible for a high aspect foil
Hi, Thank you for the review. Regarding the 800 in wing, I find it complicated in 75 cm mast, close-hauled the leeward wingtip easily comes out of the water.
This is my exact problem and where I’m at in my progression. Thanks for such a detailed video.
I have the 1100! I use it for dw and it is super efficient!
just started trying this on my downwind board - its soooooo hard but wont give up lol
You got this!! Enjoy the learning process!
Man, winging is way harder than kiting. I was throwing backroll kiteloops after only a couple months while kiting. Took me as long on the wing to get the jibe down. 1 year later and I'm just barely, baaaarely solving the upwind tack.
Thank you for sharing!
Excellent specific correction with a simple solution. It is easy to see from the explanation and demo how the wing is naturally guided into the new direction with this method.
Thank you we appreciate you.
I love my Lift v2. This thing totally changed my lifestyle and increased my fitness exponentially!!!! 50yrs old and feel like a kid again. No regrets and I’d spend more knowing what I know now.
Thank you for sharing! We appreciate you.
i have 72 ...Wing foil is better than windsurf for my knees. But no good for my shoulders. Have fun too
What About renting a beginnersset. Like for x weeks. As Soon as you are able to make your first flights, then purchase your gear?
That's a great idea, but not sure if renting is cost effective or available at many places. If it is, then that's the best option for sure!
So can wing foil without changing the mass? The reason ask is I planned on getting a efoil then later get a wing using an efoil with a folding prop until I get wing foiling down. Then buy a mass or whole new wing foil set up
It's been done but not ideal. There is a little drag on the efoil with a folding prop and you're going to have added weight of the battery. So will work if you have good power in your wing but if it's really light you have drag and more weight. Also you would have to think about the remote in your hand. Unless you are thinking of learning on efoil/ wing and using it a a Taxi back up? Should work but not as good as a normal set up.
@@DamienLeroyUA-cam exactly a taxi back if I cannot get back due to learning how to tac, etc.. aka stuck in the middle of a large lake and I do not know how to go up wind.. Thx for the response🤘
@@X2Fat Love your vision and creativity!
First and foremost, kudos to you for explaining how to do wing onpaddle board. It’s the most clear concise explanation I’ve ever heard. I will totally use my paddle board first. All these steps will help me concentrate on managing my kite at this time. Most of all any videos you made in the past is very interesting just to listen to your French accent!! It adds to the likeness of video. Thanks again.
Musst have this E Foil. Where can I buy. this Thing?😊
www.liftfoils.com
Love you guys
Foils feel amazing in the hands can’t wait to get them in the water this weekend!
Keep us posted brother!
The 130x- turns like surfv2 100 and glides like the ha120 with the lift of the 200. I love it. It’s literally the most stable small foil I have rode, in a turn and gliding flat from bump push, is just something you have to ride to believe. I’m 150lbs and was riding the Florence tail. Honestly will go with a bigger carve or flow tail. I’m not at the level for all the negative shim on the Florence tail.
Thank you for sharing friend! We appreciate you.
low aspect will be good for sup?
All depends, it can roll over better side to side with less wing span, but high aspect will have a little more glide! The industry is slowing evolving to the high aspect. As we did this video 3 years ago.
Sure looks like fun!! Would love to give it a try one day. Wish i lived by the ocean; its so beautiful.
Great sound on this video too, you can tell it's super windy there but the quality of the voices was still super clear.
Thank you.
Fantastic explanation of the pumping concept. This video will make it so much easier now :) Many Thanks :)
That Damien, that helps, but your video and explanation are the best!
I wonder how effective these wings would be for someone that weighs 85kg plus? I really doubt it would lift us up.
Matt weighs 195 pounds/88kgs. Factoring in swell power and conditions obviously makes a big difference as well.
It can 100% lift you up but there are a lot of factors in play!
I've come to realise high aspect is not everything, for my weight I need area too. High aspect doesn't help for tight turns, you have to always keep your speed up unless the profile is thick too. And still, not friendly to tight turns. And yet I see similarities to my latest foil design too. Thin all over, similiar centre anhedral. But getting the stiffness in my one from a bit more chord, more centre to tip taper. The one in this vid looks like it really needs the high modulus but the taper is also good to concentrate the loading more in the centre, tip breaches shouldn't be a problem.
@@fluiditynz Thank you for sharing!
Great stuff fellas!
It's awesome and great video. I teied with a regular windsurfing board with center board. Ir kept going down wind and hard ro control. Any suggestions? Thanks
This video should help: ua-cam.com/video/A-iwUIvVl0M/v-deo.html
Finally!!!!
great job!
Thank you!
Stoking to ride this in the gorge! Thanks for the review guys!
Thank you!
at least 5000k usd for sure ❤
thanks you guys ! learn a lot from you both
Thank you we appreciate you!
Kahuna Creations make some great land SUP boards and paddles.
I see new sizes of the AFS WhiteBird on your website. How do they compare with other downwind boards of similar size?
The bigger sizes Whitebird are specifically designed for beginner DW SUP foilers with stability being the main focus. So for someone looking to learn the sport, those are great options!
Great footage! I think this is the first time I have ever seen you with shoes on. 😂
Life is better in flip flops for sure! 😆
What was the wind speed?
This is great, thank you for sharing!
Almost the same set up ... love it for the SAME reason and have been riding it SOOO MUCH !!
Great tips. Looking forward to listening and supporting this new podcast format
Thank you we appreciate you!
Enjoyed the episode! I have a long history windsurfing/kiting, but always good to remember the basic stuff which we take for granted and is now natural instinct! Great points on beginners learning how wind directions work and how to read the texture of the water and how to read swell/waves/conditions! LMAO, on Damien's "walk of shame" comments, no matter how good we think we are, we all still end of there! 🤣
Yep you have walked for sure as well, from the sound of it... :) Ahhhhh.
I think a mountain board is a cheap and safe alternative to a ham board to practice on land for a beginner. It is more forgiving, i.e potentially less responsive than a skateboard or surfskate. What do you think? Is it realistic enough for an expert like yourself?
SUP skating would be a great way to work on my weakside stance! I wing skate regularly and it is really fun and helps me to better understand the optimal wing to wind angles.
Would love to see a comparison on ML boards for winging, like the Armstrong ML, Torpedo and Takoon Ultra Glide. Thanks!!
Best video I found. Thx for the tips 🙏
We appreciate you!
Glad you have this podcast going! Is it available on Spotify?
Yes you’ll find it on all podcast platforms on the Wing Life Podcast channel
Damien you are so positive and I love your attitude thanks for these great videos with tips you forget once you start foiling it so appreciated
Thank you!
