... My thoughts too, so dont understand why Oz says it seems easier - we need some details :roll: 8) Peter I don't really know. I was out riding a few hundred metres away in 30+ knot winds. My best guess is they just walked out through the shore break until they got past the breaking waves. Without...

Our local crew got out last night in 30+ knots. They were finally up and powered and riding on the foil and looked to be having fun. At worst it looked like windsurfing, except it was easier to get off the beach. Just walk and paddle out then get up and go. I was kitefoiliong and had a mega struggle...

Our local guys have been making their own huge wings, and are using SUP foil boards or have taken to making their own SUP foil specific boards. Short, lots of volume, a step in from the tail to eliminate "sticking". Some of these guys are pretty serious "watermen" and they have a pretty good idea of...

I have been watching the local wing surfing crew learning how to ride. I have once seen a wing surfer get up and foil and it looked pretty good. I believe that there is a niche for these things. Most of the time they just slog along on the surface. The other day I saw the cutest scene. In the distan...

I am in two minds about this. If the foil was super high performance and I believed that then I might buy it. I would sand most of the razor sharp edges off before using it. But, the foils I have are fantastic for their purpose of freeriding. No sharp edges. Extremely robust and reliable. Beautifull...

I find the opposite to be true. My 1050cm wing is a bit slower and more stable. It handles anything with ease.

My 800cm wing is higher aspect and a bit faster. It tends to race away from me when dropping in to steep waves.

Ebay. You can buy whatever exists there. Filter for your local area for fast shipment.

I use 304 stainless torx screws. Very impressed with them.

Looks great. I don't see anything to protect the fuselage. Do you have a cover for that? I have been making my own board and mast covers by cutting down old surfboard bags. Obviously not as nice as yours. The most useful things I have done are loops on the end for hanging on a hook, handles on the s...

It doesn't look stainless steel. The plastic knob could come off. It's one more thing for lines to catch on. It's a slim chance but if you're struggling to get your foil untangled from the lines and there's a sticky out bit at the top that would be a pain. It looks ugly and inelegant (Sorry. You ask...

I haven't read this thread, because it's too long and probably all wrong. ;-) If you're asking for a recipe for doing a gybe then you're approaching it from the wrong perspective. You have to develop the feel for the movement then do whatever it takes to make it work in the conditions of the moment ...
