I respectfully disagree. I primarily ride a 85cm home build with no rocker. I love the lack of swing weight and the feeling of connection with the foil. Obviously, it doesn't handle touchdowns very well, so I've learned not to touch down very much. Plus, most of my touchdowns are with transitions, ...

The Video Above is with the wind blowing from the back of the wave.

The wing is only in front of you if you are not going fast enough. You can see it stall a bit when I slow down to let the Windsurfer pass.

That's very impressive then

The clouds are made from exactly the same Dacron and ripstop nylon as other kites.
What's missing are the scuff guards, protectors and other reinforcements that are present on most kites, not to mention the struts themselves plus all the connections and valves that just add dead weight.

I disagree. I think the wing works especially well in onshore wind conditions. I find that kites cannot handle onshore wind and foil wave riding. They all fall out of the sky and you send a lot of time worrying about the kite and not on wave riding. -- Gunnar With onshore wind, the wing is kind of ...

This is why I love Wingfoiling. No words can describe how this feels https://youtu.be/NcUiEQTFPrc -- Gunnar This looks awesome. I'm really open to the possibilities of wingfoiling, and clips like these are showing what can be done. For me the unique selling point of wings above all other things, an...

Moses has some great products, but they don't have, and never have had clean product lines. All their wing designs seem to be quite eclectic ad-hoc creations, each one potentially hit-and-miss. The 633 seems like a hit, a very popular and well loved wing, and no doubt good, as I'm sure are most of t...

For me 10 knots is definitely the cutoff. Below 10 knots it's both hard, and not all that much fun. I can buy a knot or 2 with a big surf wing. But I don't find that chugging along on a big wing in 10 knots all that interesting. Especially if it's flat water, which it normally is as there is no wind...

I reckon the easiest would be the middle ground - around 1000cm2, a foil with a low takeoff speed, but not aggressive lift, reasonably thin profile. Largish (~135cm) but low volume board, strapless or single front hook. My brother learnt a few months ago on a Cabrinha Hirise Lift (900cm2) and had a ...

I've always liked the look of the Onewheel. The Pint signifies the end of the early adopter period. At $950, is within budget. Even after paying a ~25% premium for not being in the US. Have one on order, arriving imminently. What I'm hoping: 1. I don't have the bluetooth or other technical difficult...

Right now considering how very flexible some mast are i dont think for freeride is that much important. Why? Because if it was that much important everybody will immediately feel difference and will be death obvious that mast must be super rigid. Whole situation when some prefer that other that and...
