It’s just like when Richard Whyte discovered and perfected the duck gybe in windsurfing! Looks like an epic adventure Alan! I like how you showed on the map where you were going and all the steps you had to take to get there. Getting there is half the fun!
Best video of anything I've seen in a minute. Pure paradise! I'm only a weekend or 2 away from my first hydrofoil wing experience. I couldn't ride out a dock start after 100 or so tries, so I built an 80 liter board, hoping to finally ride the foil set out, pulled by a 5 meter wing.
No to straps for beginners until you can work out exactly where stand on the board. Board shape and volume, Rider weight and Foil size and placement on board are unique to each set up. Once you are riding consistently on foil note where to place the straps. I have a video on Patreon.com/AlanCadiz that covers all this.
Great video! Which ML foil did you use when you were fastest on flatwater? What is the max. speed with this foil and what length of mast are you using. Thanks for the reply.
Kwajalein has plenty contracting work there. Done 2 rounds - 10yrs apart. Plenty time there but 2o21 was a Wild Times so... I left on my own 2 feet, NOT "on my knees". 🙄
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this channel. I’m a windsurfer, but you’ve inspired me to pick up wing foiling! Just getting started and looking for gear to purchase. Should probably sign up for your paid channel. Curious what size front wing and mast you typically use, or used in this video? Thanks !
Another trip of a lifetime, world class watersports a long way from anywhere. Loved the flat water sailing and spin gybe progression, The complete package with coaching and good friends.
Love your channel. Thanks for sharing this. I've been struggling with getting backwinded when gybing in somewhat higher speeds. This made me think this could be what is happening. Excited to try next time on the water. Juuhuuu! 🤙
When I think of a duck jibe I can't help but think of windsurfing or dinghy sailing when you duck under the boom as it swing across the boat. This is different. LMK if you are able to do it.
