Finally, getting into winging!

Postby RickI » Thu Feb 04, 2021 10:50 pm

I finally am getting into winging after Kiting for 22 years! The Sergio at Adventure Sports put together a set up including a Cabrinha 7 m Crosswing X2 wing, a 6‘2“ X fly hydrofoil Board and a fusion hydrofoil assembly. Our wind isn’t particularly nuclear down here in Southeast Florida but this should get me up and going at about 186 pounds. Have fun out there

You must ride in a very light wind spot, to get started with a 7m!

Try to bring it as high as possible to not catch water with wingtips!

Or wear Elton John platform shoes.
