@jasongauci634 won’t let me respond

Im a heavier guy, What foil setup does Dave use for downwind SUP foiling? Size front/back wing TIA

Wat size is the mast ?

Crazy bruh

Thank's for this video !

👍🍺🏄🏼

Can you send me one to nz? If so what size would you recommend for me? I’d want an allrounder, basically bay runs and light 20kt ocean. I don’t want a ship once I’m up and don’t want to work hard or be stressed to get on foil. Lots of my videos online. I want to taste the Kalama magic. 77kg 🤙🤙

Thanks for great reviev , do you know any places in Europe like Poland or Germany or Holland where it could be possible to stay on the water on the new barracuda and try to get feeling about stability without looking for volume numbers ? 👍🙂

Thank you artist and brilliant surfer Dave Kalama for sharing your work with everyone. There really is so much involved in boat building and theory that it’s overwhelming. I think Dave has made something iconic like a Lego or a Tonka truck or a Lightning Bolt surfboard or a Tony Alva skateboard deck.

I thought displacement hull was better performing to take off earlier....it seems there are two ways of thinking about that. What do you think? Thanks for your videos! It's a pleasure to hear people like Dave.

How does it maintain propulsion? So cool

The volume is VERY low. Flow Foiling can you check into it on your end?

Epic chat, very insightful. Dave's the man!

I hear what Dave is saying. Most SUP riders can agree to emphasize volume because its common ground and a relatable conversation. We all know our shoe size… now throwing volume out the window… how does one select a board size while ignoring volume data?

What wing do they use.? I have the M280 and I can't get up.

A big mahalo to Dave Kalama for his relentless pursuit to evolve foil board design out of the dark ages. These days the only thing better than having a Barracuda in the back of the truck is to have a couple of them to choose from to match the foil discipline du jour and the water conditions.

Great discussion. Love the Barracuda, can't wait to see the newest tech for down winding. XP will undoubtedly be amazing.

Heck yeah. Tbanks for sharing this!

Dave should be a politician

Great to hear from the master again! Weight of the rider is another factor which affects the box placement, this obviously a heavier guy could never replicate

👍🍺

Great listening to you and Dave, Dyl. VP sounds like it will be my choice due to mostly wave riding on SUP. I just wonder how we place an order, if it will be online or if we need to call Dave to reserve one.

What size E3 is he on? And what does he weigh?

Great video, epic run along a special Coast line, dont think id like to spend to much time in the drink there . Congratulations 💪👍

Greetings! I am 41 years old, weight 85 kg, height 174 kg. I have 3 years of experience with a paddle and wine, but no experience with hydrofoil. I want to do downwind on the river with a paddle in flat and downwind especially. I'm afraid to make a choice, I'm especially worried about the width of the board, so that it won't be too difficult if it's narrow for me. Therefore, I am not considering the 8'×19' 5 option yet, is it really so difficult for a beginner to stand on a long and narrow board? And therefore it is worth choosing on Kalama E3 6'5×23'5' 116 liters. Will this be enough for a beginner's stability? Or there is a Kalama 6'5×27'5 , 130 liters.? What is your opinion? The main goal is downwind on the river.

Amazing interview Thanks Dyl and Dave Some absolute gems of wisdom Loved the bit about pushing boundaries and you don’t learn anything in the middle ‘safe’ zone, applies to pretty much everything in life 🙏

Just started my downwind journey, riding 7'8" Barracuda here in San Francisco. Very different experience to prone though not much more than a pound heavier. Starting out w/Foil Drive 'cause I'm old : ) Keep the vids coming!

what size board is that? amazing !

Grow up

I agree 🤙🏽😎🤙🏽

This is a wise man talk " forget any boundaries" I loved it ❤

Ripping !

More Go Foil parts that the general public will never have access to. You are so much better off on the Lift team.

Yeah

Is that Tallebudgera ?

Какой размер и объем литров доски у вас.? Тоже хочу Калама👍

what is your weight? How do you compare the 8" and 7'10? You mention that you rode the 8" in Maui, but the 7'10 will be your go-to from now on. I'm 155 lbs with decent SUP paddle skills and I'm an intermediate wing foiler. Do you think will total commitment, I can struggle through the learning curve on the 7'10 and save the trouble/expense of learning on the 8 and sizing down to 7'10 later? I'm also planning to use it a lot for light wind and downwind winging, and I have a foil drive assist to help with the learning curve with the paddle. Any advice you could offer would be greatly appreciated. Mahalo!!

Good stuff!!

What tail are you using?

Got a bit of speed there Dylan

I’m road tripping up past Newcastle probably first week of January, definitely be keen if your not on holidays yourself

Thanks very helpful. You have answered all my questions.

sure...give it a try

Hello, I want to get into sup foil/wing. I was wondering the liters on that board? I see the 6'0" Sup/wing Is 131L. You rip it like it's tiny. Are you on the E3 performance 115L? I am about your size and very good on sup and efoil lol. Would you consider this model the best to learn? Mahalo Pat

What size is that?

Show off! 😆

Which size is that?

that looks like a intense workout

😁👍🍺
