What a stupid video, sorry to say....

talking about windspeed in mph is utterly useless for most of the world
And also it's even more annoying to state rider weight in lbs. When using sensible metric units, as most of the world does, it is trivial to compare the weight of a rider with the volume of a board, which matters a lot for wingfoiling.
I'm actually surprised they're not stating the volume of boards in gallons...
And also its more annoying to talk over some dodgy jazz track..... Nice

1 M/S = 1.9438 Knots I usually multiply M/S by 2 to get knots.
and if you watch a quiver recommendation provided by a online shop divide it by 2 ! :cool2:
