nice one mate, stoked to hear you picked it up. In the learning phase if you have a phone and life jacket its about as safe going alone as with friends because you lose each other so fast. when you progress it becomes possible to actually ride with other people
Always great tunes and vibes on your content. Nice style and oh I just seen Mr Bennetts orange hat 😅 you guys are trail blazing. Looking at your foil you seem to have a very small stab ? How does stab width effect your pumping? And no that's not supposed to sound sexy 😂
haha yeah good session with Bennetts at this spot over a few day run of good tide, wind and swell.The Stab is probably a mid size stab by current standards (kd foils 13R (~160cm2)). The stab size and span has many effects on pumping. Big or wide stabs are generally more forgiving, but the small stab will be more efficient and go faster but will require better technique. The lower the span the better the turns but more twitchy and usually require long fuse. The sweet spot is the low area stabs with wide span IMO
What gear are you on, looks like you’re on a fairly big (slow) front wing given how you’re needing to pump such a lot in what lols like beautiful conditions.. no criticism, still a great vid, just curious…
im on the lift 120a (780cm2) but there is a strong off shore 15knots headwind and the deep water ocean swell are moving very fast and with the wind you dont always go fast enough to stay with it and fall off the back so have to top it up with some pumping
i love when u show the take off because its such an important part of foiling...im living in miami florida after living and foiling every single day in hawaii and trying to figure out how to take off in shallow water with no waves 😂 i think i have to get a SUP
i would definitely try the DW sup mate, dont get on too narrow if you dont already sup, i love my dw sup for days to surf unbroken waves that i couldnt get going on with my prone board, opens up a lot of new locations and easy to wing ding on too when theres wind
@@camjrdn6318 im gonna do it! u paddle it also? i want to learn how to get it up on flat water and then foiling is just this entire new sport like youre saying just opens up so many possibilities for fun. thanks for the not too narrow knowledge, ive never supped before
@@jazaza420-cm5gr yep on small days i just take the dw sup out for a paddle and get onto waves that way and have lots of fun. Yep i just learnt flat water paddle up on my dw board with 150haX wing on pure flat water, took me about a year to get it! Lots of things I would do differently if i were to learn again though
Hey mate, no never been hit by the foil. I know some of these wipeouts look bad but in thatn split second before it goes really wrong you just eject as far away as possible from the foil. My closest calls have been when its big and getting stuck in solid shorebreaks and after ditching the foil the leash became wrapped around the mast so you are unable to get good distance from the foil. For protection I just always make sure if i dont know where the foil is (by the pull on the legrope) that I cover my head and face with my hands and arms
@@camjrdn6318 Thank you. I have had a few calls with windsurfing and kiting with foilboards. Planning on wearing a helmet and a vest... although that will suck too... Love the video!
@@DroneXL yeah mate thats a good idea to wear the PPE, it will boost your confidence for sure and low confidence and hesitation is one of the things that will get you hurt. My best advice is to bail out before things go really bad and then always be aware where the board and foil are. You cant really get runover by the board the same way you can kite foiling which is good, but it is harder without the kite to lean against and use for stability., so you have to get your weight over the foil to avoid tacos. Good luck!
Nice ride…I’m jelly😢!! I’m in a process of mastering beach start in order to move on to prone surf foil he he.…your prone Foil board looks custom (you made it?) or production (brand) what volume and length of it? Thanks..
thanks mate, appreciate the feedback! no i have never really used any of the adapters, and I haver always had the lift NoLimitz mast which isnt a very good fit to other brands (takuma is best). I have been thinking about a stringy fuse for armstrong or one of the lift to axis fuses too. I think the main thing to watch for is that the adapter is a hydrodynamic shape but also strong and then you're good to go.
