Foil size for KiteFoil Wave Riding

I was wondering if anyone has any experience of riding waves on a Foil around 1100cm. I have the liquid force impulse and I am finding it maxes out when trying to carve onto waves - basically feels I am having to push all my weight on my front foot to stop it exploding out the water on me. What size...

Re: Beginner Board Volume for Kitefoiler

Yes, you can get by with a smaller board, but why? Problem is, you NEED a board bigger in volume than your weight, when learning, period. So much easier and more fun and faster learning.

Re: Beginner Board Volume for Kitefoiler

I have the same background, but I weigh 78 kg. A 100Lt board is quite easy. I could get on foil in the first try in 12 knots (2000 cm2 foil). A 75 Lt board was difficult, but doable (I have experience with low volume windsurf wave boards.) I think 100 Lt will be ok, just don't get a huge foil, thos...

Beginner Board Volume for Kitefoiler

I am interested in getting a wingfoil setup to learn on. However I am wondering if my background in Kite foiling and windsurfing means I can get away with a smaller board volume for my first board.

Re: Hydrofoil Has Absorbed Water

Dont know it just had a small dent in the skin that covers the foil. It is not delaminating at all. I have attached a photo of the damage, I dont think it has been there long maybe only 3 or 4 times on the water until I noticed. Will the water destroy the wing? - I am thinking of trying to dry it ou...

Hydrofoil Has Absorbed Water

Hi, I was recently sanding back my hydrofoil since it had a small chip in the skin (It is a liquid force Impulse Foil) and it started to drip water? Is it possible it has absorbed water from the small chip in the skin? Thanks for any advice Update: I do think it is water it is smells like something ...

2021 Contra One Strut 11m Light Wind

Does anyone have any experience on using a Contra 11m mono strut for light wind hydrofoiling? Should it be ok in 8knots+ with a large 1200cm^2 foil?
