I’m passionate about windfoiling, windsurfing and racing in the NSW and Australian comps but unfortunately my Olympic dreams are on hold.
Least Worst Gybe
Testing out the new F4 GP Wahoo 366 with 170 tail wing at -1.5d on my old faithful FMX 91 Hyperion with Patrik MA Race SF 5.0m off Kurnell, Botany Bay, Sydney. I'm still getting use to the feel of the new foil and haven't found the groove just yet, but DAMN this tiny wing has some potential when I unlesh it!

Light wind session on the new F4 GP 95 mast with Wahoo 540 and 170 tail wing. 8.0m CHS and FMX91. vs Full IQ. Pretty Similar take off timing despite the light winds. Although to be fair I was probably pumping harder. Sailing at Clontarf with a few friends. #F4Foils #CHS #FMX #iQ #NorthSails #Starboard #Severne #patrik

Testing the new F4 Wahoo 366 front wing, 170 rear wing with GP95 mast foil set with integrated fuselage. Riding FMX91 and 5.0 Pat sail in way to much wind, 20 knots was fine but 30-35 gusts were a lot too much! Watch for the gusts... survival mode, head straight upwind and wait

When you will do a video about new 870 Cobia front wing ???
Great video, really helped my in (finally) making most gybes. Starts to be addictive to catapult out of the gybe!
You're copying my style again! :)
Lots of good advice here. I'm at a stage where I tend to do kind of a "skidding" gybe. In other words, I'm struggling to keep the board above the water and fully on the foil all the way through the gybe. I see some tips here that might help.
Thank you very much, will try with those key points….cheers
Heavy catapult at the end! Thats my specialty!! :)
Mine too! Had whiplash for 2 weeks!
Wasn't also the board too big ??
Well maybe. I was on my Fmx 91. I need to test the SB 76. Next time.
Awesome! 🔥
That's amazing!
GO KEVIN!
Great video - I need to start heeling the board more to windward when trying to stay in control. Also interesting ref oversheeting too. How tight are your footstraps (thinking about crashing!)?
Glad it was helpful! My foot straps are a bit loose so I can fall out. Maybe too loose? Actually my rear straps are rigged like a race board upwind strap…. As far apart and loose as possible so I can twist my foot to the right position as needed.
30 knots .... no backstrap baby !
Yeah not that day… but I’m much more committed now!
What's special about the sail?
So it has no hard cam’s, instead an air bladder that needs to be pumped up to help keep the draft shape. Also keeps water out which can add 10kg to modern foil sails while up hauling!
Nice, thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching! It took a year and was great fun putting it all together!

Nice!
Thanks! The chaase boat was on full throttle!
Great video Berowne!
360 cams are crazy. love it!
Nice,... how do you like the Patrick board compared to Fmx ?🤙
Great thumbnail!!!
Even better event!
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love your content. Keep uploading!
Great video !.. thank you 🤙

Man is living the life 😮
Great video. I sailed there last year from the other side and could see you guys.
Top quality gybe info gathered from the Pro’s. This immediately improved my gybes particularly with back-winding. You are more ‘pro’ than the pros with your astute analysis in support of ‘average joe foiler’. keep it up!
Glad it helped David!
Maybe 18 knot offshore wind so it looks pretty flat. Can’t remember how windy it was to be honest.
u looked gassed...
Yeah was a good day with light but slowly biiilding breeze. I think most of us were on 9.0 m sails and 660/620 wings
WOW VERY FAST
Would you ever cross the Straights of Florida as an experienced windfoiler? That's a situation in which speed would be important because it's a long enough journey to be exhausting already, and you don't want to be out there longer than you have to given it's a somewhat unpredictable stretch of seas. Do you foil for hours at a time? I want to make the journey but thought it might be worth getting thoughts from someone more experienced. Obviously I would need to put in a lot of practice of my own before attempting it
Maybe ask the question on Seabreeze. www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Foiling/
Your foil sails are same as mine! Which one do you prefer? Loft or Patrik?
👍🏼Wind level?
GRSC Beaut sunny winter day WSW to SW 5 to 20 kts maybe stronger gusts CHS 8.1 (and 7 earlier)) FMX 91 Hyperion F4 660 foil 190 tail 100+3 and -1.5 degree rear shim (more power!) Mast base at 131cm too far forward, 134 was even more too far fowrard but worked OK with 7.1. GPS Coros Watch said 20kt alpha :) Mini-Motion GPS said 19kt alpha :(
Hi there! Congrats on your Gybes! Let me ask two things, one is this a dedicated foil sail? And two, what front wing size are you using?
Sorry @edunegrao, I did this vid a few years ago. 8.0m foil sail from Loft. The Skyblades are nice! FMX 91 slalom board (I like the Hyperion so much I bought another!) and the foil... really can't remember. I went from AFS to Starboard to F4 over this time. I would guess this was the AFS 800 or so sized foil.
@@Berowne Thank you!
yo, Fin here
I love it when a good jibe comes together
What top speed and wind raing do you get with that setup ? Thanks for your reply in advance
23 knots for a NM and 26 knots peak speed on 10.0m sail with 1000mm wide foil and board is the best I've achieved with this rig. Generally works well in 8-18knots, 4-6 is a real pain.
@Berowne that's impressive top speed for larg sail foil combo
I made up some new curse words while getting backwinded. Thanks for the tip, will try to keep in mind.
I use a JP 100cm wide course racing board with an IQ foil set up and I find the board is constantly wanting to touch down on the water, even with 2.5 degrees take out onto the foil mast. If I move my mast base back, I can’t get the balance point of the harness lines correct on the IQ Foil sails (HGOs). Any ideas?
Very nice 👍👍👍 thanks 👍👍👍
how you don't catapult with the jelly in the water?
Foot hard in the straps. Load up the harness and keep core engaged all help to prevent being dragged forward!
Thanks for posting a full race! Going to watch and hopefully learn a ton
Hard core race, you have my respect. 👍🏼👏🏼
Moreton bay used to be like that… almost walk on them it was so thick, though been easy 10yrs since the last bad bloom
Where you get your nose protector or is it a DIY job.
20mm eva foam Matt from hardware store. Interlocking end piece makes nice curves. Hot melt glue to hold on but it let’s go after a big impact and needs to be reapplied. But also removable.
Thanks for sharing, one the best instructions on the foil gybe.
Glad it was helpful!
Gear used in the video? Pros / Cons worth mentioning?
So much gear. So much to say. I like F4 foils and have most of them. Sort of an obsession. Try to use the smallest wing you can fly in the lulls. Or smaller if going for peak speed. Sails they are all good. Foil dedicated sails are almost mandatory for 30 but any slalom sail is good for 25. I don’t own anything with less than 4 cams so can’t comment on these. 91 Board is great for most foils except 420 and below. A 400 or less foil needs less rail pressure so 75 wide is good.
See Seabreeze for more advice www.seabreeze.com.au/forums/Windsurfing/Foiling/F4Foils-Tuning-Tips-Towards-30-knots-
@@Berowne Thanks!
Such a great video. So even if you are on a broad reach you still sink the Windward rail a bit? Wouldn't it cause the board to turn up wind?
Thanks for posting this. Lots of ideas here I can try and apply to my attempts to go faster on the foil. Its possibly a minor detail but I'm interested in what fuselage.lengths you're using with your different front wings. I've been working on the assumption a 100 or 105 fuse would be best for speed (less drag) but recently a guy I briefly met said he gets to 30kn using a 115 and that he found 105 too unstable. Any thoughts re fuse length? Cheers
Yes I prefer 100 fuselage but the iQ team have managed 30+ knot top speeds with 115+ fuselage. For stability try moving the mast back 5mm and see if that was the cause!?!
Fun times 🤙
what camera are you using Berowne?
Gopro 360 on a 20cm extension and clamped on with flymount.
