Wingfoil Quick Tip #17 - Effective Foil Pumping
zhlédnutí 237Před 14 hodinami
I've been working a lot on my foil pumping recently, and had what i think may be a bit of a break through; going from only minimising my rate of deceleration to actually generating/maintaining speed! Foil used: AK 880 Plasma V2
Wingfoil Quick Tip #16 - Foil balance and Foot Pressure
zhlédnutí 245Před dnem
A little bit of background on two methods for setting your foil up, how that affects your balance on the water and on foil, and how I personally like it setup, should your setup be different.

Wingfoil quick tips #15 - Small boards and progression
zhlédnutí 405Před 21 dnem
I love riding small boards, but if progression is what you're after then perhaps they aren't the ideal choice in terms of ease and personal motivation.

Wingfoil Quick Tip #10 - Picking better waves
zhlédnutí 187Před měsícem
Here I explain that going for the biggest looking wave isn't always the best in the long run... predicting how they will combine in future can lead to much better/longer rides... :)
Wingfoil Quick Tip #9 - Wing Body Drag
zhlédnutí 297Před 2 měsíci
A useful technique to know, either if your board leash breaks or riding leashless. A different method to those previously shown by others online which has distinct benefits.
Wingfoil Quick Tip #8 - Quick Wing Pack-Down
zhlédnutí 199Před 2 měsíci
A quick and easy wing folding method which minimises the amount of sand sticking to your canopy and getting in the valves. Get the wing in the bag every time without any unnecessary force.
Wingfoil Quick Tip #7 - Sinker Self Rescue
zhlédnutí 278Před 2 měsíci
If you use a sinker board you must watch this - an easy method to get back home if the wind dies, provided the wind isn't straight offshore without the need for lots of exhausting paddling. Board shown : AK Phazer 46L, Rider weight 82Kg
Wingfoil Quick Tip #6 - Lightwind boards
zhlédnutí 381Před 2 měsíci
Just wanted to share my thoughts on lightwind winging boards now that i've had one for a few months - great versatile bits of kit which open up many possibilities outside of winging if you're curious enough to try :)

Flow Wing Foiling - Getting Started Guide
I broke my ankle jumping off in water that was much more shallow than I expected. Beware!
Oh man, sorry to hear it. Yeah defo be sure you're in knee to waist depth and use the wing like a parachute when pointing upwind to help cushion your fall.
Nice one Pete, keep us informed, as I am still trying to unravel the pumping mystery 👍🏻🏄♂️
hi I have a 130l board jp with matched foil from np; with this setup I was right in the balance; when I go down swapping to an inflatable board 103l seems to not having the right front pressure; if I advance the mast the board became unpleasant in the takeoff; also the top speed is not good 10knots with a 1900 front, while in jp I can reach 12 knots; should I have to play with shimming the stab? increasing or reducing drag? thanks
Hmm, a change of board shouldn't really lose you speed, unless you're feeling uncomfortable and cant push it as hard. Shifting the mast in the track will alter the balance of pre-flight vs. post-flight balance, and shimming the stab will affect (mostly) post-flight. It would be worth checking that both boards fly with the mast at 90 degrees, some manufacturers haven't in the past. If you point the stab downward in the water more it will create more front foot pressure, if you flatten it, it will create less.
@@PeteJonesF6 thanks
Beautiful foils! I cant wait for mine to arrive.
Oh man, you're in for a treat! :)
Looks a amazing foil ,does it have a slightly thicker section profile as in having more volume . To make it have a better low end . Great review 👏
Hey Chris, I looked it up and the 1100 is 12.5mm thick, I think the span is the main contributor to all the lift/efficiency TBH.
@@PeteJonesF6 definitely plenty of glide at aspect 11, however its thinner than i thought it might be , It will be interesting how slow you can go before you stall i look forward to seeing the new Plasma in the flesh such a clean system from AK , I love the taped fittings and quality , I find it interesting the different companies playing with the aspect and surface area ,and volume of foils to give the different qualities in the foils and different feelings . I love looking at the volume for low end lift at slow stall speeds but also i know it creates some drag in top end loss of glide . However Im no expert and just try to understand it from using brands kit and the feelings it gives you when trying different foils of the same aspects and with different volumes . Great first review i look forward to more ,The Plasma is not to far away from my new foil (in the post )so im hopeful that i get the same kind of performance my vid to follow . span 1080cm x11.50cm2 x 10.1 aspect bit thicker at 14mm have an awesome week and i wish you good winds
😂😂😂 the beer zone
Nice one Pete i know the pain of the patch work wings ❤ keep ripping bro 👍
@christomo a patchwork wing ain't so bad, you can go to town with them :) It's the shiny pristine ones you need to worry about, haha!
@PeteJonesF6 yes I keep the old ones for the bigger sketchy days as well love it . That's the good advice, keep patching them keep riding them 👌
Don't forget a little praying and plenty of swearing. I use my old wings now as soon as its above 4ft. Great video 😊
Kind of surprised to see no mention of windsurfing.
I do actually windsurf (occasionally) but I haven't really found a set of conditions which I'd prefer it over the other disciplines. Could just be my personal level in this sport though
@robadair sorry I deleted your comment by accident. That is great yo hear cheers, I will maybe try a better location next time, but my dining table is just so handy ;-)
Crucial pont that you miss in this is the best wave is a party wave ,thanks for sharing I will play around with this idea 💡 thanks good winds buddy 😊 I will have to come up and film ya one day
Haha! Very true!🎉 Would be great to see you up our neck of the woods one day!
interesting, thanx for sharing!!!!!
Lovely best so far
Not tryed with my feet i will have a go. Body drag has saved my bacon a few times in offshoŕe winds and no leash situations haha . Great vid thanks for sharing
Looks a good technique 👍🏻
great tip...thanks
I prefer front palm down while doing straight but needed to learn how to switch in prep for the jibe. This video helped. Thanks for posting.
Good idea. I'll try it next time and see if the hard handles fold as seamlessly as soft handles
Nice one Pete 👍🏻
I’ve just bought one after a demo session. Upgrade from F-One Phantom 1280 FCT. Great reviews and a fair price (for a really well engineered carbon setup) got me interested. Two sessions so far - one in waves, one flat. Delighted with my purchase. Finally understand the importance of glide. It goes 2.5 knots faster than the phantom, but more importantly made it so much easier to carry speed when flagged out on a fat wave at Hayling and I didn’t even notice that I was doing tip breaches into tacks. (Didn’t even know I could). Highly recommended for anyone that has learnt to gybe and tack. Well done AK - this is a serious challenge to the big name foil brands.
Great footage
Pure stoke man great edit 😊
Super slick action and edit 👏🏻👏🏻🏄♂️
Just came across this and gave it a try. Absolutely fantastic, great job!
Cheers! Its a pity not many have played it, but maybe there aren't many wingers who play computer games!
Useful & smart
I'll give it a go nice tip
Super helpful- thanks so much Pete, Ruth 😊
Thank you so much for this. I’m just a beginner and this is EXACTLY the information I needed.
Where did you buy your sail repair sheet. When you come to sell the board how say its it to take off?
Here's what I used: 4boards.co.uk/product/spares-repair-shop/repair-materials/unifiber-monofilm-clear-sail-repair-tape/ I haven't needed to remove it yet, but can't imagine it'll be any more difficult than simply peeling it off.
Cheers Pete, I have been thinking about getting something, my Garmin watch allows me to send location by message to 3 persons, but I need to take my phone, it’s better than nothing👍🏻
Good topic and explanation but missing 2 factors: 1. the upward lift that the wing generates helps remove some of the rider weight. 2. the increased buoyancy of sea water also would amount to ~2L of volume for an 80L board. I'm 77kg and find on my 80L that i can float feet dry even in very light breeze on lakes, and of course more so on the sea, making it the sweet spot for a 1 board quiver.
Found your content good . I am still new to wing foiling and use Armstrong kit with no shim on stab that gives max lift , have just bought a 70 fuse to help pitch stability but find even small movements it feels very loose . The stab is 232 with a ma foil any ideas on set up or me to calm things down .
Longer fuse, bigger stab or even a longer board may help. I'm not super familiar with the Armstrong kit, but it probably just takes practice. You could also try narrowing your foot stance so that your movements are less consequential. Hope this helps
Hi, 70 fuse with 232 and no shimm is as stable as it can be. Your only option is to use a bigger front foil.
Nice vid Pete. I am about 88kg. I need 18kts+ to sink start my 39L. Knee starting is easier, but I would prefer to sink it. I can only get going if I can get the board to the surface. I was thinking 45L at my weight for prone (mid length) and wing to see if I can going in 15 kts. You think I could sink the 45? My daily driver is a 60L but I can’t sink it easily- too much instability at just below the surface.. thoughts?
I used to have a 65L and I found that a super nice board all round, never really had any corkiness problems with it even at my weight of 82kg. I think my technique must be different though. I try to avoid sink starting the board, it's just a waste of effort
High Pete do you have a link .?

This is great. I am going to try my first sinker today🤞
That's the one for me. Tomorow I'll try it. Thank you
Thanks.
A cool game, even launched in VR via UEVR. But, why don't the gamepad buttons work in the menu, even though they work in the game? The gamepad is a regular xbox for Windows. You have to make settings in the menu using the keyboard and return to the gamepad again.
Great vid. Would be helpful to touch on what start methods work best to beat the instability that can be frustrating when learning. Also, at what depth of knee riding is more stable vs more corky? I.e. my 60L for my 65kgs is very challenging in choppy conditions. My new 40L is most likely the replacement, with the 85L DW board for everything else.
I am 77 kg with wetsuit, harness, etc riding 84 liter board. Upon watching your video, I think my first sinker board will be around 65~70 liter in volume...Thank you !!❤
Has anybody tried the classical Windsurfing waterstart when riding overpowered conditions? Setting the board 90°C to the water surface, foil mast horizontal, stepping into the foot straps before the foil sinks and using the power of the wing to start from this position directly without the board sinking?
g8 vid, thx!
Nice video! I use a 90l at 73kg naked.. I ride strapless in everything from very gusty marginal 7/8knots to 30knots with it. Id like to have a smaller more reactive board but im unsure I could get away with a smaller board.. hard to pull the trigger when they cost so much.
The market for second hand kit is getting more competitive as people move on to newer shinier kit, keep your eye out and i'm sure you can score a bargain :)
You ride strapless at 30 knxots ? 😮😮..Wow..that is a mad skill !! Whoa !!
Same for me (strapless, 73 kg, 80L board for everything). I've also had sinker boards, but they're annoying in gusty conditions. My solution was to invest in a lightweight custom board (4.7 kg for 80 litres). This gives me a more agile, lighter board than most standard sinker boards but with a comfortable volume.
interesting. thanx for sharing!
I'm 83kg on a 36.9 litre learning to prone foil. OK size for me ?
Nice one Pete some great tips 👍
Thank you!
Nice video Pete! Well put together! 🤙😎
