//note the massive performance advantage of umbrella compared to a stringless kites @ the 20 sec mark

Re: Wingsurfing - Intel - forum topic?
while its universally accepted that the umbrella is the undisputed king of sup foilsurfing with wind assistance fun...
...i believe the new inflatable pineapples have potential.
while it may lack the higher speed stability of an umbrella(or even a carrot)
...the low end of a pineapple is really impressive.
it has the potential to be the next big thing...

Mary frikin Poppins!
This thread and controversy on these has got to be more than the MFG's could have ever hoped for, as far as advertising.

Re: Wingsurfing - Intel - forum topic?
do you guys think unhooked launch is safer with umbrella ?
what would be a proper umbrellas quiver for a 200 lbs rider riding only in narrow wind range of 6-49 knots?
I'd assume that a pumping rider is hell of advanced so he should be able to change direction or stop abruptly which diminishes his right of way. nice to know

Re: Wingsurfing - Intel - forum topic?
The umbrella has a tendency to invert in high winds. The pineapple has a definite advantage in case the wind drops you can sun yourself on top of it as you drift with the tide.

So umbrella needs octa-ripstop, lots of Dacron and proper bridle expert. How else would it cost $1400?JakeFarley wrote: ↑Wed Jun 26, 2019 3:01 pmThe umbrella has a tendency to invert in high winds.

Pinapple is obviously no match for its ram air version, but self-rescue is a good argument.
Do umbrellas come with a leash?
