Re: Looking for info on Okinawa foiling / kite trip in Feb 2024

Good wind. 2 days of 3 during competition it was 20+ knots. I made two short videos on how location looks like. There is a kite and wing foiling spots within 5...

Re: Technique for getting up on small sinker board with Foil Drive

Thanks, I will definitely be trying this. but I think the drag of the wing in the water, will prevent me on getting the prone board flying . You could try using a waist leash for your wing and just letting it float behind you, once you get a little bit of speed and get to your knees you can reel it ...

Re: Technique for getting up on small sinker board with Foil Drive

Agree on proning... Indeed, this is the best use case. But for some people like me, living in low wind conditions, FD for Winging is a game changer. So I just want to see how far FD can be pushed towards smaller boards. I have large Wing board and 32L prone board. don't want to buy 3rd board. thus i...

Re: Anyone here live/kite in Hong Kong?

Taiwan is great. Many spots. We used to go every weekend from Hk. Times before foiling. 25-30 knots very often.

Most well known is a place operated by Tony Fish in “Zhunan” . His place called “the spot” .
Highly recommend to go there.

Penghu is amazing. Best time to go “sep-nov” later is too windy..

Technique for getting up on small sinker board with Foil Drive

Share your technique (if you have one) for getting up on a small sinker board (25L - 45L ) in not too strong wind with Foil Drive ? Small sinker boards work in high wind conditions for very experienced Wing Foilers. Some techniques exist : "stinky bug" , "sitting up with wing up and doing reverse pi...

Re: Anyone here live/kite in Hong Kong?

I lived in HK for 5 years. There are many spots. What is the "normal spot" you refer to? Main spot in NE is Shui Hau Wan in Lantau. We foil outside the lagoon all the way to Cheng Chau. Most amazing location to foil and so much room and space there. There are spots in Sai Kun also.. those only work ...

Re: Why a Wing Board and a Kite is Awesome for the Lightest Winds

Did anyone tried to fly a kite on a wingboard with very short lines? maybe 5 meter lines? this may still be enough to get going, but would make relaunch of a single skin kite a breeze as you can just lay it out in the water and re-launch? could possibly even paddle out on a wing board and launch a k...
