Re: Wing Foil Lesson: How To Jibe / Gybe

I'm starting to nail them and riding off toeside, feels great!! but I am not dialed in yet.. I will definitely watch this...thanks.. My one tip would be , focus on the board 90%, look forward where you are going, if you're looking at the wing, its over. ..the wing flip should be practiced on the bea...

Re: Political situation in Brazil

What about Gleen Greenwald? He's admittedly a left-wing journalist. Gleen's husband (who passed away some time ago) was a congressman here in Brazil from PSOL, a far-left party. Here's Eduardo Bolsonaro reposting Gleen on X. https://twitter.com/BolsonaroSP/status/1765407812375416927?s=19 Let me tra...

I wonder when a brand will start an initiative for better products for lower prices no matter what the ESG beautiful people think about it :naughty:

Btw, long lasting products are also mother Gaia friendly :thumb:

Good point..

Re: Are you afraid of sharks?

I kite, wing, surf around Cape Cod and the islands which has always been sharky, but has become increasingly so - specifically Great Whites. In our area, the sudden uptick is largely due to the booming seal population. 2023 season didn't have a lot of shark sightings, but 2022 was insane and the be...

Re: Wingfoil is building faster than everything

I took the plunge and have no regrets. Lots of fun, easier to learn than kiting, you can easily and safely teach yourself. With a good beginner setup you will be riding in weeks. I would rate myself as a low level intermediate working on gybes, toe-side riding and more. The big attraction for me is ...

Re: Attn Peter Frank - gong help

Curious as to why you find the trailing edge to be dangerous, besides small cuts? High aspect pointy sharp foil tips is what I would worry most about, or just me? Maybe you ride and tumble around getting washed together with your foils in bigger waves, than me, then I understand :wink: 8) Peter Lol...

Re: Attn Peter Frank - gong help

I sanded mine down. I value my life more than a little performance. The trailing edge was as shape as a new knife and I truly believe it could give a life threatening cut with ease. I have had several brands of foils and none had edges like this. :roll: :roll: Does it whistle now? I sended my just ...

Re: Attn Peter Frank - gong help

I think it is good - they make high performing foils by having a sharper trailing edge. And they show it with a sticker on the TE so we are aware - at least on all my latest foils. If you dont like it that way, it takes a few seconds to sand blunt. You can NOT sand a blunt trailing edge sharp (impo...

Re: Attn Peter Frank - gong help

Is it just me or are Gong foils and mast insanely sharp? I just received my new carbon mast and I can't believe how sharp the trailing edge is. :roll:
