How achievable is WING FOILING 

Messages like this make our day! Love this. We hope to share the water with you one day!

James thank you for your note! We appreciate you! You got this friend.

Make sure to fly the wing a ton on the beach before you go out on the board! Will help a ton. Enjoy the learning process.....

@@DamienLeroyRU-vid Thank you for the tip! I have been flying it a bunch while riding my skateboard in a large parking lot. I have a bit of a feel for it now!

@@jeromesurffoil7033 That is a great way to learn! Perfection... Enjoy friend......

It takes time for sure! You will get there, just stay at it. Enjoy the learning process friend.

We appreciate you! Thank you!

Sounds like you are rocking friend! It's not an easy sport but congrats on your progress! Hope to share the water with you one day friend!

Thank you!

Thank you friend! Enjoy!

Warren thank you for sharing we appreciate you!

We are behind you friend! You got this, its not easy but nothing great comes easy!

Glad we could help!

Yes friend paddle way out as sounds like the wind is blowing you right up on shore. Another option maybe if possible look for another location that is side shore. Not every place has it so, if not just paddle way out and then start. It is not easy but enjoy the learning process...

Thank you so much Justin! We appreciate you!

Amen!

Great idea! We will see what we can do! Thank you!

Love this! Everyone helping and motivating everyone! So cool! Thank you!

You got this, stay at it and in know time it all comes together! It is hard but so worth it..... We are cheering for you!

The full body workout is such a great bonus...no need to go to the gym! Persist. It is absolutely worth the effort.

@@DavidFoxDotCom Amen David!

You are doing incredible friend! We watched your precession and you have hit LEGENDARY status!

Yea Mike! Amen!

Totally, you can do it, it just takes time. Kelly learned foiling with the wing and now she is crushing it!

Will an impact vest protect me from a piercing foil, or are you mostly worried about getting a base to the ribs?

@@AngusMcIntyre Basically I am protecting the upper part of my body, which is more exposed to falling onto the foil when learning. Had a couple of close calls when learning and it gives you that confidence to not worry about it. Also I have learned to "bail out" early when I know it's going wrong...lol. I also wear a helmet as when going out through the shore break on a beginner board with a large foil turned upside down, it's right at the level of my head. Just depends on your circumstances, I need to foil and I need to work, so those are my choices and reasons why to protect myself.

Thank you! We will have Kelly on our Live Show soon so stay tuned, you will be able to ask her questions! We have a few videos on gear, and tons on learning, check out our previous videos. Hope this helps!

My wife is 118 lbs also. When she was learning using her 100 liter SUP she struggled to get on foil. When she tried a 85 liter wing board, she flew instantly and was much happier. It was easier. BUT, my wife is a very experienced water sports woman, despite her age of 66 years. So….smaller will be way easier at some point, the question I can’t answer is, will it be for your wife right now.

@@foilsurfmachines Thank you DW for the help! Hope to see you guys this weekend. Great info. We all go though the learning process of finding the right size board for skill level as well, never an easy one.

E-foil is cake compared to this

e-foil is like riding a tricycle while wing foiling is like a mono cycle

I am an old windsurfer (62 with 30 years of windsurf). 2 years ago I have tried windfoil 3 or 4 times. Impressive feeling and a lot of crash. But I have discovered wingfoil on video and for me it was the revelation with the ultimate goal to sail in the swell. I bought a wing, foil and a board usable in windfoil or wingfoil. I started in windfoil and it was very easy to sail even if I have never gibed. I have done 2 attempts with the wing. It was difficult to get standed on the board. After each time I succeded to go up on the foil I felt immediatly going to hight and to slow. Because this year I have decided that I am too old to waste time before winging, I bought an efoil. In one hour I was able to fly more than 30 seconds. 2 hours to fly several minutes. 3 hours my first turns front or back side. So efoil is realy easy (on flat water). I have done 6 sessions before my holidays. I spent 2 weeks in Cabarete this summer. I took 2 lessons that helps me a lot to stand up. Then I flied somes seconds on my 3rd and 4th session. I noticed that efoil helped me a lot in getting up and controling the altitude. From the 5th session I went on a shorter board with a bigger foil 115 liters for my weight of 85 kg. A little more difficult to stand up specially with small waves in the lagoon. Wind around 18-20 knots, 5 meters. I have done several flight over 30 seconds. 6th session 20-22 knots, I have done my first flight of one minute returning at the place were I started. the 3 sessions after were very frustrating will very few flight in ligther wind and bigger waves (50 cm of shore break). More times walking upwind on the beach. But it doesn't matter, I know that with wind between 16 and 22 knots on flat water I can practice. Returning back in France I have done 2 session with my gear. My wing, the first duotone with wishbone is a pure crap, very unstable in the wind compared to the ozone wasp I had rent in Cabarete. Nvertheless I have flown again. I need a better wing and practice but I am pretty sure that with 10 hours more I will have fun most of the time. In conclusion efoil can help wingfoil and the contrary also. Returning back from holidays my efoil flight is much more relax.

@@cyberfastfred Thank you for the detailed response. Very informative.

😜 it sounds like E-foiling is much easier BUT much harder on your bank account 😜

Kelly owns a cafe so she has a busy work life, she wings 2-3 times a week usually when the wind lines up with her schedule. We will have Kelly on our Live Show soon so stay tuned, you will be able to ask her questions!

JP, evolution always gets better! I would say the Code is better yes but the Macro works 100% if you are looking to get out ASAP! I think 5'4 98L is perfection for you. Might be a little challenging at first but the perfect long term fit....

Sounds like your wing was too big, tends to do that if it's too windy for the size. I would say the best option is to go with a smaller wing. Hope this helps friend! Keep it up!

@@DamienLeroyRU-vid it was a 4.5m slick so i guess the gusts may have been harder. Dont really want to invest in a 3.5 right now so i guess ill go with less wind! Thanks for the advice and have great sessions out there man!

@@obvioustrash7833 Just reading this one! I would say keep your eyes looking around "up wind" as sometimes you actually can see the puffs of wind coming. The water will look darker and you can be ready for it by letting power out of the wing when it hits you! Gusty conditions are hard and takes time to manage it.

Great advise thank you JakeDawg!

Eventually the gybe just clicks and you will be able to whip around without thinking about it. The key is to go as fast as you can before turning, then let the wing go asap. Any wobbles will shed speed so keep those legs rigid and steer with your toes. Riding out toeside is its own challenge, so any distance you get will be a bonus. It comes with time so keep at it and have fun out there!

@@AngusMcIntyre Thank you Angus for your insight!

Thank you for the kind words we are trying to just share our passion for the sport with others! We will keep at it. Have a great week!

That was actually just seaweed, no rope.

Stuart causeway would be better as it will be flatter but Ft. Pierce is fine as well when the swell is not there. Jupiter Kiteboarding teaches....

You got this friend! We are behind you! Here is some inspiration! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0pguJ6LNKOU.html

Thats the right attitude! You got this.....

Very well said!
