Re: "Spin-out" with SabFoil Medusa Pro 869?

I've had foil setups that don't like going over a certain speed range and get pitchy/dive when you go above the speed range. Similar result to what you described. Shimming the stabilizer slows it down, but gives more grip and can help to some degree. Not sure this is the issue you are feeling, altho...

Re: Bad vibes...

Totally normal. Going through whitewater, turbulence, boat wakes, foamy aerated water will all give you these sensations due to the turbulence and loss of lift. Some foils handle it better than others, but it is more present with larger span (and larger) foils. Just stay loose and anticipate it.

Re: Anyone using wingcams?

I use the flymount occasionally but I’m always a little sketched out that it will fall off. It’s a good angle though. More often I use a Velcro mount that I wrap around my strut (there is a small hole between the canopy and strut). The other benefit is that I can reach back to the camera to start an...

Re: Shifty winds in Essaouirra

Are people winging there? I was there 10 years ago (before winging existed), but I would love to go back. Seems like a great setup for winging from my memory. Gusts like that aren't too big a deal winging.

Re: Osmo Action 4 what mounts do you use

Do you guys use the waterproof housing or is the unit sufficiently waterproof without it? Does the invisible selfie stick feature work well? I wasn't aware that non-360 cameras offered that feature but I haven't had a non 360 camera in a while (have used the GoPro Max for the last several years and ...

Re: KT Drifter 62L wrong length

Ive seen a similar discrepancy with other boards. Seems odd but maybe rocker measurement is a "standard"?

Re: The new Eleveight WFS V5 Wing

Looks like a pretty good wing - but where is Eleveight popular? Feel like their kites were around 5+ years ago (I think right after they debuted?), but they have disappeared in my area and I haven't seen one of their kites or wings in the water in years.

Re: Why is wingfoiling so popular?

Currently in La Ventana, it's noticeable that approximately half of the people on the water are wing foilers. However, only about half of them are successfully riding on the foil at any given time, with many spending significant periods in the water recovering from crashes or struggling to get up. ...
