I broke my ankle jumping off in water that was much more shallow than I expected. Beware!

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

Beautiful foils! I cant wait for mine to arrive.

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 👏

😂😂😂 the beer zone

Nice one Pete i know the pain of the patch work wings ❤ keep ripping bro 👍

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.

@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

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!

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?

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 .

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?

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.

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! 🤙😎
