Re: YpraSurf. My experiences with some Gong foilwings

I got the Ypra Surf L as well 2 days ago - now waiting for some wind :) Indeed, as unless you are really talented and can foil out of your transitions at speed, you need some wind - they are small even the big ones (IMO) :naughty: 8) Peter Sounds similar to my FOne Sk8 950 that flies, turns, and gl...

Re: Duotone Concept Blue

A lot of negative feedback in the comments above, jeez :roll: . Carbon emissions and consequential global warming for some people still seems to be a controversial topic - OK, harder to understand and see for yourself I guess. But as kiter you should be aware of the disgusting amount of plastic thra...

Re: 2023 Duotone Slick Wing vs Slick D/Lab

Interesting opinions and good info. Looking to pick up a 2024 Unit 5.5 for lower wind days. Often riding in chop so hoping it has some accessible power to get me on foil quickly! Would I be better off with a Slick? I think you would. IMO as said, the "2023" Slick and Unit has the same power. So why...

frustrations of an intermediate beginner - tips on wing pumping and building speed to get up?

Hey guys, long post below but hoping some of the more experienced riders recognize my struggles and have some tips. I am now in month 3 or so of wing foiling, and loving it once up and flying. With my kitefoil background I have no issue in stronger winds to cruise around without touchdowns, jibing a...

Re: Light wind wingfoiling - gear?

Cool, thanks for all the info guys! Some follow up questions: - Reading your comments, I am now looking at a 4'8 / 75 Liters Gong Lethal - size, volume, and shape seem to match the requirements to have a compact board that will still work in lower winds also? - @Peter, you say "A higher aspect foilw...

Re: Is an LEI usable in 9 knots, hydrofoil?

Is it possible? Probably yes. But, will it be difficult to get going? Yes. Will you be swimming in at time because you cannot keep the kite in the sky during maneuvers and then you cannot relaunch the kite? Highly likely also yes. So it going to be a frustrating shitshow most of the time? Probably a...

Re: Recs for Kite + Surfing spot in Portugal in July

Why don't you make it a road trip and move around depending on conditions? The whole of Portugal is one big surf and kite playground. Algarve/Lagos: best for surf (many schools and spots) and holiday/tourist parties (night club / bar streets filled with drunk Englishmen). Kiting is meh - Alvor lagoo...

Re: Cabo verde - Sao Vincente / Sao Antao

I did the same islands 10 years ago around Christmas. Had a few nice days in Salamansa, was very doable shorebreakwise. There was half a kite school on the beach back then and apart from that virtually nothing/no infrastructure. I do however think they were starting to build a new golf resort so I a...

Light wind wingfoiling - gear?

Question for the more experienced wing foilers that go out in 8-10 knots: what gear is essential to make your life easier to get going in 8-10 knots with some ocean chop and swell (so not perfect flat water)? Currently I am still learning but feel like I need at least 15+ knots on a 5m wing paired w...
