    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!

  • @chesterfrantz6209
    @chesterfrantz6209 19 годин тому

    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!!

    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?

    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.

    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

    • @DamienLeroyYouTube
      @DamienLeroyYouTube 3 дні тому

      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.

    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.

      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.

      @fluiditynz 6 днів тому

      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.

    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?
