WingFoil Waves Fall Techniques

Recently I was WingFoiling in Waves at Silver Rock, Barbados (similar to photo). While riding down a Wave I fell. My Wing Board popped up and landed in front of me with the Foil up. My Wing landed (up right) up wind of me with the trailing edge facing up wind. As soon as I surfaced I realized my per...

Re: seaweed issue OBX

I am curious to know if it is true 'seaweed' or Sargassum Seaweed (actually a form of algae)

Re: Foilkite preinflation pump

My favourite Foil Inflator is the Dustin Mizer Plant Duster. GL on this forum put me on to this. Easy to pack, no batteries/electricity required. A must for Light Wind Pre-Inflation Days

Re: The Hybrid from Flysurfer

TLDR: I love this amazing kite. My FS 3.5m Hybrid arrived yesterday afternoon and I put 2 hours on it yesterday and 3 on it today. It is probably my new favorite kite - I freaking love this thing! I’m 80kg. and usually ride a 106cm Kanaha Shapes board strapless. Most of my kiting is in the [gusty] ...

Re: Triton X-1 as a light wind kite foil

I (72 kg) own both the Triton V1 and X1. I only use the V1 if I am KiteFoiling > 15 kts. I can easily use the X-1 for KiteFoiling at 10 kts, WingFoiling 15 kts +, and WakeFoiling. In the picture from yesterday KiteFoiling ( 10 kts, freshwater lake, 9m FireFly V3) I can play in the ripples and turn o...

Re: Triton X-1 as a light wind kite foil

I agree with all the above. For me (72 kg) I take it out for KiteFoil at ~ 10 kts The X 1 is also fun for WakeFoil. You can cut as hard as you want and it still tracks. I have been able to Pump it along the Wave face easily (high short cadance). I have only been able to get 10 Pumps in once I leave ...

Re: Wingfoil and shorebreak = problem

I was able to swim out with the Wing leash attached to my leg. Timing the breaks was crucial.

Re: Wingfoil and shorebreak = problem

I have been in similar Shorebreak Wingfoiling and it is almost impossible to get out. The solution for me was to get someone to paddle the board past the break while I took the Wing out. It only cost me a Beer for this arrangement and I had a great session. It was still difficult to get back in but ...
