You never need to tack or gybe on this foil, simply just ride it like a twin tip kiteboard going back and forth. (...) That video, on flat lagoon water CLEARLY shows that the foil is all but super stable. Looks...

Isn't your simulation doing the assumption that the wind hits the plane of the wing at a 90 degrees angle? (wind coming from the left on your pic) This would be wrong because, the AOA of the wing isn't necessarily that closed, at least not on every part of the profile. And secondly, like for any sai...

ok fair enough, this is a good video, and the slomo usage is rare and restricted to parts that benefit from it. Same goes for sped up parts. There's a skilled video editor who knows his craft and his tools, and uses them adequately.
Unfortunately that's not the norm.

Bit of a rant, but one year ago, everyone was saying that winging was soooo easy to learn. Now everyone and his dog feels the need to make some winging tutorials, just in case it wasn't easy enough to figure out. Look, I carry my board, and look, here's a knee start, wowwww. I get that, everyone wan...

6 and 4 for me, but in the 17-20 kts that is quite frequent on my spot, a 5m would be big enough to get the job done, and as such would be better than using a bigger bulkier 6m in a more depowered fashion. (more in the sweet spot). On the other hand, I do need a 6m for the 12-17kts. And 4 should cov...

Hi Juan, I still like the Spitfire XLW, and the XXLW, although the XXLW is even heavier. And that creates some unnecessary issues with the big 36L board that I use, for waterstarts and general handling in the breakers. And I ride that big board in case I have to swim back if I crash the Peak kites.....

I think you just have to find spots that are more adapted to the realities of winging. All those spots that you've always dismissed for kiting, because the launch is sketchy, wind shadow inside, no room for setup, etc... they might work for wing instead. Maybe with a different perspective on your re...

... You don't have to ride it/them all the time ;) If you only planned on buying one wing or foil at a time then that would affect your decision, but it's pretty cheap to get another wing. I know you got more than one :D For sure! I think I have settled on the happy combo for me at the moment. GoFo...

... I know a bigger board is less fun to ride than a smaller board, but being able to paddle back in would give me the confidence to ride some nice waves that are a bit farther out than my preferred swimming distance. ... When you say paddling back in, I assume you mean prone paddling. Lying down o...
