@@olivierdecroly661 Sirus 3XL very easy, Sirus XXL and Fluid H 3XL easy, Sirus L intermediate, Curve H 3XL difficult, Sirus L very difficult. So my summary after those 4 sessions. I used the Stab Sirus XL 50cm for all FW except for the Curve H 3XL and the Sirus L I used the stab Veloce 47cm

@@RulgertGhostalker 😅👍

@@willstafford4159 yes you can. I do it for wingfoiling in light wind and Sup foiling for flat water start. But for beach start the shorter the board is, the easier. A pump board or a small surffoil board is appropriate. Have you watch my video: czcams.com/video/NzhHuZv3HII/video.htmlsi=NpbGDzHEffwCRvss Maybe it helps to get started…

@@Ludo_freefoiler thanks!

@@mathieulegrand9143 merci! Je fais 62kg. Faut se lancer ! Je ne savais pas à quoi m’attendre quand j’ai commencé pour la première fois la semaine dernière, je ne regrette pas. Pour limiter galéré, avoir le bon matos ça aide: longue DW board, pagaie carbone, grosse FW

​@@Ludo_freefoileryes ! Je fais 66-68kg, j'ai réussi à trouver une 8' Kalama Barracuda. Il me manque une grosse Fw je vais commencer avec mon sk8 1050 juste pour m'entraîner sans espoir de monter dessus le temps d'acheter plus gros (1500 Seven seas je pense).

@@griffinbrungraber9498 done! 62kg

@@benjaminbjacobsen Thanks! I never used the curve 6xl but I think it might be easier than the Sirus 3xl. The size of your Cruzader is the right one to get started 👍 Regarding the paddle, I think a carbon stiff one makes the learning process easier. You will not have the feeling of breaking it. With a plastic one it should work though. You have to learn how to use your legs to get started. Jumping correctly on the board makes it move forward without using the paddle. The legs are more important than the paddle. I am making another video to explain it. I will release it next Monday 👍

@@dronemfilmuje 😮 beach start can be dangerous at the beginning, be careful!

@@Ludo_freefoiler75 cm mast is fine for it?

@@dronemfilmuje yes, but the shorter the easier especially at the beginning and for beach start. I’m using a 70cm and I used 65cm when I started pumping. 75cm is fine, a bit more challenging

@@kaikaiser1497 Thanks! I put the mast almost in the middle position, a bit more forward. That was the best feeling I had with my beginner skills. Too much forward it is easier to take off but the speed was too low to keep flying. I used the same position for all the different Frontwings.

​@@Ludo_freefoiler Ah, thanks, understood. similar to my mast placement (somewhere in the front third, still figuring out the exact sweet spot)

@@janschenk85 Thank you and thanks for sharing!! If I understand you well, you have a lot of experience and you are saying that the rider weight is not that important but the pumping technique is? If so this is good news for everybody because losing 10-20kg is often not possible, training is ☺️ And yes, I have to work on my technique, I’m still a beginner, did just 4 sessions so far sup foiling, little experience in sup. I will keep training with my inflatable see if I can take off without paddling, tried once did not work 😜

@@waynegaotmu5367 Thanks! Honestly I haven’t tried a rigid board for this yet. But a rigid board is… well more rigid 😅 stiff and the friction with the water is less. So I imagine it a lot easier. But with an inflatable it is working fine as well. If you prefer an inflatable (cheaper, easier to transport, less fragile…) go for a long enough one to make it easier. The longer the easier to take off.

@@pierpa Thank you! Keep training and have fun, that’s the secret 😉

@@matija3791 🤔 for the moment pumping the Kluber board is easier because I have more experience with it. But with a bit of practice I think Sup foiling flat water start will become easier. The inflatable Cruzader 6’6 is not the easiest one. A longer one and maybe a rigid one should be easier at the beginning. I took this length because the smaller the better for wingfoiling.

@@Ludo_freefoiler I have the 7.6 Hipe Cruzader. In 7-8kn with 6m2 wing I nearly didn't need to pump get onto foil. Such a huge difference to my standard (hard) Wing board, where I would have issues with 8m2 at same conditions...

@@matija3791 good one for Sup foil flat water starts ;) give a try!!!

@@Ludo_freefoiler thanks. I tried two short sessions (30 min until I was out of power xD) and did not manage yet. At the moment, I much more enjoy wing foiling and can do it starting at 6kn. In northern Germany there is not so many days below 6kn, so I rather go out winging at the moment :).

What foil did you use? I have cruz hipe7’6 and am wondering if 1900cm2 would be enough to lift my lazy 85kg ;)

@@Banistherock Hi! I’m using the Kluber board 80cm.

@@Ludo_freefoiler I have this one, I am begginer. Do you think it will be easier with your kind of board?

@@Banistherock which board do you have? I think the Kluber boards should be good for beginners. I learned with the Surffoil board Matata 3´11 and I use occasionally the Lethal 4’0 from Gong. A pump board small and stiff are also for beginners. If you use a surffoil board it’s fine as long as you take a very small one, the smaller the easier.

@@panweijian06 hi Big Jerry!

@@pavlodeshko depending on the time I have 😅 never enough 😢, in average one hour. How many “goes”: it depends on when you mean it. At the beginning it was a lot because I was not able to pump for a long time. When you are learning it’s good to take your time, not to rush between two attempts, breathe and relax before each start. Now it depends on what I do: freestyle tricks = several starts, or even one start if I do a long distance ride ;)

@@Ludo_freefoiler I sent an invite to you instagram. It does not let me tag you it seems.

@@bctt6376 Hi! Yes, my setup has 0 deg, it works fine. I have no experience so far with another inclination. Gong is selling a fuselage with 1 deg inclination. The purpose is to use a smaller stab without losing in lift. This is fine tuning, at least at the beginning this is not relevant.

@@Ludo_freefoiler Mine had 3 degrees facing down, so it seemed like it was sinking into the water quickly. I fixed it a little. But I will try to make it to 0.

@@Mat_Wingfifou merci ☺️

@@MrJaennae Thank you for your message. I used the Gong X-Over XXL 100cm at the beginning. I was very satisfied with it, so I recommend it. Here a video where I did 1:45 after 6 months pumping: Looking for an easy setup to get started pump foiling? czcams.com/users/shortsJF0USx3cKd0?feature=share High versus low aspect ratio frontwing, here another video: PUMP FOIL High vs Low Aspect Ratio #pumpfoil #hydrofoil #foil #surffoil czcams.com/video/ftk5AjLlD8s/video.html

@@bctt6376 Thanks! you’re right, thinking is not an option while pumping 😅 before and after is better 😉 When you push on your back foot, this is like you take support on your foot then toes as if you wanting to jump. Your whole body gets up: head, shoulders, chest even the heel of your back foot to be as light as possible letting the board under you to go up.

@@vladfane Hi! Thank you :) Of course it will be a bit more challenging than a XXL but I think this will do the job fine for the gliding exercises, the first pumps and having a good feeling on how it works, especially with the X-Over XL. As you wrote, this is “just” to start learning. Then a Curve H like the xxl 115cm is a good choice 👍 Give a try and let me know, your feedback will be interesting 😉

@@Ludo_freefoiler 👍

@@user-cm7ny5ro7j 😅 well… the most relaxed start of all 😉

@@sylvioperinet9244 Salut, merci pour ton message ! Je suis justement en train de faire une vidéo avec conseils pour les débutants :). Elle sera lundi en ligne normalement. Je te laisse la regarder et on en reparle ?

@@louiscypher6489 Thanks :) Yes, the rear leg is a limiting factor. I think the optimisation of each pump is the key not to burn it. A lot of training is required to have the right technique using both legs (front foot closer to the back one) and using as little energy as possible. Right now for me the limiting factor is more the heart rate.

@@louiscypher6489 Thanks. I have in mind to change this stab for a better one. So far the 47 was fine to learn but you are not the first one to tell me to switch to a smaller one :) Thank you for sharing your experience ;)

@@louiscypher6489 I’m satisfied with the 70cm. I use it with the Sirus xl 136cm, my weight is 60kg. I never tried the 72cm but I’m aware of this recommendation from Gong. For sure the HM72 will be stiffer, better for pump foiling… but if the price difference is big, the HM70 works fine as well.
