Video

Thanks for this video. You answered my question will I be able to learn basic foiling techniques with the drive in the e-foil position.

Can you share the foil drive you used in this video?

Nice,thanks

Looks like way to much hard work lol

So high on the mast🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hey Dominic, what is the thickness of the 50 litre ?

Hi Dominic great helpful content mate. Has this got the 2 or 3 prop setup in this ? 🙏🏻

Super helpful - thank you. Where were you positioning the drive trigger? I couldn’t tell from the video.

I'd like to see more discussion about the ability to pump different wings. It's really hard to know if the problem is skill or having the right equipment. Although I'm old (68), I'm a decent wakeboarder and have become very comfortable riding the foil. But the pumping escapes me. I can pump away from the boat for 10-15 secs and then nothing. About 1 1/2 ago I bought the Slingshot FPUMP package assuming that it would be ideal for pumping. The Quantum 100 is huge and sluggish. I didn't see it as being pumping foil. Fortunately, it enabled me to drop the rope and ride continuously, which was my immediate goal at the time. This is me on the foil. czcams.com/video/wUhyuTcTZzo/video.htmlsi=rLHzXe5jWuW6nGQL

Thanks for the video. I am looking for a board to use for a long time. I am a 95 kilo beginner with a lot of surfing experience. My set up now. Foil drive Axis png 1310 49 liter 4.10 board ( old used … to small) Would you recommend 60 or 70 liter. I would like to use it for wing to.

When you say you use the 50l for pretty much all wing foiling conditions, is this with or without a FD? I'm the same weight as you and hesitating between 50 or 60l as an all-round wing and FD board. Currently using a 55l and 65l board to cover light and strong winds.

Hi Dominic! How do you guide the cable when putting the box forward or side under the chest? Thanks mate!

Dominic, please help me. PNG 1150 vs. a Spitfire 1100? Which one should I buy? My conditions are similar to that seen in your video or maybe even flatter.

Mr Hoskyns, what is ur setup there?

Hey Dom. . . great explanation about the 'accelerator' effects of eAssist. I'm curious. . . what size battery you using there? Do you know it's configuration? 10S3p?

Hey Dominic, it takes you quite a while for you to get the films out. I know you are working hard but you are in a class of your own. Can you post a video shoot of you on some big waves... that would be great to see as you make it look so simple.

Hey Dominic! I'm probably going to relocate in Saudi Arabia and I'm looking at the closest places to go foil surfing, Oman looks to be at the top of the list. Could you recommend some beaches that could be easy to get to them for a weekend visit? Ideally close to the main airport....

really great video, after a lot of research on the internet this is a really good explanation unlike other vague stuff. I have a go pro 9 and I mainly do windsurfing, tell me if it is possible to get good footage with the Sail video systems rod on the harness with that setup? Thank you!

What generation foil drive are you using in this video? Is it the oldest cheapest one? Or is it the assist version?

Which foil and stab you had on this ride?

Dominic As I use F.one foils would I need to shim the mast for it to work with the right angle? On my custom wing board I need to shim the mast however as this is not winging... Thanks

Nice Dom. Where are you these days?

They look great. Any idea on weights?

Very informative. Could you use the old foil drive system with the 60l and where would you position the battery?

Hi Dominic, what would size of board would your recommend for me. I weigh 68kg and am looking for comfort. Would you go for extra length (60L) or just stay on 50L? What foils would you pair it with ART? Looking forward to your recommendations. Thank you. 🤙

Nice. Can we have strap insets for winging and jumping please 😁

You see, this is just mean. Putting out a video about how great a board is while knowing how hard they are to get your hands on one.😂🤙 Congrats on the success of these boards!

I'm looking for a prone/wing board At 75kg without foil drive. would these boards work? What size would be best? Thanks

I have the 60L for Foildrive and it is incredible. All design aspects mentioned in the vid are true and spot on. Super well done. In a handful of sessions my foil skills have excelled rapidly. From flat water pumping to now catching swell. Downwind ing is around the corner. I’m 90kg and the 60L seems perfect

Very usefull video especially the part where you explain the design choices of the new Axis board. Thanks!

what size cable length are you using in the last "action" clips?

I really wanted one but didn't want to wait until mid-June - July to get one in the US

Nice Dominic, looks very much like the Norfolk Broads there, what foil were you using in the Med?

Great video thanks for sharing. 👍🏄🏼‍♂️

This is probably a stupid question... How do you get into the prone position you are when you start your video. Surely you can't go from the back because the batterybox will be in your way. So I assume one will get up from the side of the board and then swing your leg over to get to the prone position? I'm curious as I'm preparing to receive a Gen 1 demo FDA Plus after being 2 yrs into wingfoiling and reasonably proficient (can gybe, low wind foiling, etc). I've got a 90l AK Phazer and mainly use a FOne 1290 Phantom. Should I consider moving the FD to the side of the board as I've seen you do on some of your boards? I'll appreciate any advice. Regards. Jurie (Cape Town)

Amazing. What is your weight?

Wondering what stab and fuse you’re using here?

When you switched to the advance which moves the mast forward 40mm relative to the wing, did you also move the mast forward 40mm on the board track? If you do that the wing, fuse, tail, and board all stay in the same relative location; only the mast moves forward. If you did this, I don't see how advanced vs standard would affect the lift profile. I suspect the lift changes you saw were because you effectively moved the wing back 40mm relative to the board. Overall very interesting review and amazing footage!

Just measured the span of the stabiliser I made beginning of this year to go with my 850 span 1320sqcm and 900 span 1020 wings and it's 360. I find a short quick pump and glide works really well on it. I was initially surprised that I don't stall it holding front foot pressure in waves coming from bigger stabilisers where that had been an issue but now I'm just used to it and love it. I exclusively wing though, the pumping is just for lulls 😆 I did try a wider span axis stabiliser with an ART but I found it locked in too much going out through waves with.

darn mini europeans, what boards for us grown men 250 lbs plus?

I didn't try an Advance Axis fuselage until late last year and it was a game changer. I suspect there are other manufacturers that already figured this out but as I've been designing my own foils to fit Axis I had the same difference changing to the advance fuselage. I had heard, remembered some discussion that it had a more surfy, turny feel but until I tried it... So the short story is, I realised that my foils and the non Advance fuselage were both working against yaw controlled turning and were why I had been relying on widely spread feet along the main board axis and why my gybing was so retarded. So I redesigned my 2024 foils with this in mind and some other tweaks of my own and I couldn't be more pleased. Now I ride my feet in line with my board the moment I'm up on foil and my gybes are so much easier. Thinning your wingtips more than just natural chord scaling alone enhances the advantages of the Advance fuselage.

It's really hard to tell where your battery box is mounted. It looks like it's on the portside by front foot. Do you actually lay on top of the box when you're in the prone position? I have a Kamala E3 6'1" and I'm thinking of mounting box at very rear ... I guess my legs would rest on it while in prone position. Anyone else put it on rear for proning? (Foil Drive Plus 1st generation)

Hi Dominic! Thank you very much for your Axis reviews - they helped me to choose my first PNG foil. Would you mind if I translate some of your large Axis foils reviews into russian and publish on my channel? This will help greatly to grow local river/lake/downind foiling community.

Foil drive is my Dream... Great video

Have you tried a backpack type mount? That's what www.youtube.com/@Wing-Tips seems to use.

@dominichoskyns9091 Dom, do you think the RS still holds out against new generation wings like the Armstrong XPS? I love my RS wings and I'm probably going to replace my quiver this year. But I feel I am going to regret it and the XPS won't live up to my RS wings.

Hi, great video. I'd like to know if I can flat water sup foiling on my Reptile R-Foil Classic 2500 or R-Foil High 2000. It's impossibile or just harder to learn? Maybee a shorter mast like 45cm would help come out of the water earlier? Or change to Axis is the only solution? Thanks

Hi Dom, great videos, thanks for posting. I really like my RS 5.1 and am looking to add a low wind option for the quiver. Did you ever get the chance to try to 7.2m RS? I'm considering the CWC V3 as well, but the reviews on the V3s seem to suggest they are less powerful than the V2.

What size carbon mast are you on?

Are you holding the trigger throttle (ie not attached to the boom). Seems like a super hack. Any plans for a simplified “throttle only” remote that would be attached to a boom to support either hand actuating it. I just took delivery on FD Max and will try it tomorrow.
