He used both boards ...when he was on the 100L gray board it was with the prop guard, +2 shim and 1100 cruiser wing...then he took my Pro green board with 0 shim and 800 flyer wing.

Hey brother...long time no see...I keep on saying...we got to make an stupid video...me pooling you with my efoil could be one...by the way...some one contacted me asking about "kitesurfing" lessons...do you know anyone around Boston "papa David" and "T" mention to me before but I cant remember....say hello to the Bay Crew for me...I got to stop by someday. Enjoy your 4th July weekend.

You use Shokz with your Milos? Which Shokz do you use?

@@mikeb4414First of all I would let the wing in the sun for at least one day to evaporate the water… now you could drill the wholes to give a better strength to the relaid… however it friends where on the leading edge is… if the crack is in the mid of the ring go ahead, but if is in the ends I would not. But make sure that you will fill up the holes with resin. Also make sure you are wearing s face mask when you are sanding the carbon

@@michaelvadney5803 Hello… to be honest o could not tell you for sure. But I don’t think would be much. Maybe 10% on your learning curb cause your “take off” will take longer at first… but the problem is not there… even after you get better the air is a bit “bulky” and trust me that volume in a windy day make a big difference. Honestly if this going to be “YOUR” board and not many people will be using then I would go for the fiber glass cause it will deff be your “progression” any way and is deff worth the extra $$$. But if you are sharing this board with tons of friends and family and you are no using it all the time, then the air will be a better choice. I hope this helps. Cheers and have fun with your new toy. If you need any help in purchasing one just let me know.

That does help, thanks

@@michaelvadney5803 Any time bud...any questions feel free total too 617-869-8852

Yes...that is exactly where I had mine...on my PFD shoulder strap ...one thing that I found out too just today speaking to Peter from Milo...he saw my video and gave me some good pointers...On water sports there is always a lot wind and water off course....so he suggested to get a "waterproof bone conductor headphones"...I saw several on Amazon for $30...so I can see how better the sound will be...also there is a bottom on Milo "smile face" that you press after you get wet and mile clears the water from the mike...I did not know that...so I hope this helps you too.

@Coach_Rolando cheers mate 👍

@@Coach_Rolando I meant that in the video, it's on your back/right shoulder - switching it to the front/left shoulder makes a nice improvement to what everyone hears

@@whitewaterwarrior3339 Yeah I know bud… but the women’s looks better on my body…but not everyone can wear it… lests say you are a miserable out shape person… I don’t think you could pull it off… But hey… you do you and I do me, cheers mate.

@@johnmallett-d4t Hello John… thank you so much for the kind words. I try my best. So I wish I could have one of those “sexy MN” in my hands to give you a honest and solid opinion. However after talking to several friends at Flite HQ I can say that is a solid piece of gear… off course they will say that. But I seeing them and they are “from another planet”… look wise you will drool on them. Now let’s talk in a common sense to what it is. The longer mast will off course be a better option that is worth having for sure (specially if you get into surfing or dowinding), the carbon will make it lighter for sure and I think for the fact is made out one piece it will make more resilient (I could not say his much more in comparison with the aluminum)… finally the wings and fuselage itself… when the fuselage alone is smaller and off course that will translate in a more efficient and even more stable e foil… now on the top of it all if this is not enough .. if you get it you will be the coolest dude around first sure lol. You can buy one and sent to me so I can test it for you lol lol. Honestly bud… “we live only once”… go for it! You will not regret it!…You deserve to have the best Efoil in the planet. Please send me some videos of your “baby” and I hope this helps

@@Coach_Rolando Hi Rolando thanks for the quick response was not expecting that ha ha. If manage to test one out please make a video of it The one I was thinking about has the larger motor as i foil on lake mainly lakes and we don't have have any of those nice waves like the Aussies do ha ha Once again keep posting them videos A cracking gadget the Milo Action Communicator you posted on your last video 👍

@@johnmallett-d4t Once again John… even despite not having the waves, having that extra 2 to 5 cms extra makes a diff… in case you are buying your gear in line please let me know … I can send you a link where will be the same thing to you but Flite would know that I was the one who helped you. Just in case. But None of the less I appreciate your comments and watching my videos. I got more gear from “Efoil solutions” and I’ll be testing them soon. Cheers mate

@@johnmallett-d4t here it is John… try to email Nathan… he is one of the major guys at the HQ USA… he could get your order expedited and going really fast and he is super helpful … say hello for me. VIP@fliteboard.com but if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Cheers

@@Coach_Rolando appreciate mate👍

He did extremely well… very brave guy

I’m using an insta 360 X2 camera… is basically on a stick duck taped to the nose of the boards… I now have s insta 360 X4… they are great cameras

​@Coach_Rolando thanks for the info. Wow ducktape. That's brave. I have an insta360 x3 and put it on a gopro mount but I have snapped a few of the mounts. Luckily I have a secondary safety string so I didn't lose the camera. But duct tape! I'll have to try that. 🤙

@@ObieObien Yes...I lost 2 Insta X2...just make sure you will use enough ducktape and also do not extend your stick all the way...I never use the "thin extension" part of the self stick...that brakes easily ... so I keep the thin part in and extend just to the thicker one if that makes sense. I did same thing here on this video...got the self stick taped on the top of the board and used the nose of the board to criss cross the tape up and down on the board...is a solid mount...and I was going 30 to 35 mph and had no problems .... czcams.com/video/O_oLchQF7Fs/video.html

Glad it was helpful… just be patient, take your time and get ready for some mess… by the way… I forgot to mention. Use a face mask when sanding carbon fiber … the fine powder is not good for you.

When I made this video Gong did not had many traveling bags for boards… now they do at very good prices… so I would start there first sure.Gong makes great products… for your weight and height you could be ok with the 4’7 board… even as a beginner that will provide you with good flotation… here are the bags they make now. www.gong-galaxy.com/en/products/gong-wingfoil-travel-bag

Well...everyone has the right of their opinion...this was actually my 2nd VX...If you look at my Chanel here you will see that I had and still have quiet a few different cars... The VX served its purpose in the past...Now I like the VW van to carrie my Efoil gear...The VX is too small for that...so it is not about performance at all...I have my performance car, my day to day car, my fun car....The VX was just sitting in my back year and I had no use for it...so rather then letting is die and sold to some one who would enjoy more then I already did....No regrets at all...and now that the VW is almost perfect I can actually sale for much more them what I bought it for...the VX can only flip up to about 10K in value now days...my VW now is value at 20K now cause everything is working very well...So financially was deff a good move and I have no regrets...Also the plan is not to stop here...the plan is to use the VW for another year...Sale it and them finally get a WINNEBAGO EKKO...so while you "think small" im actually moving forward...cheers mate

Yes...I understand that in Europe things are much more restricted....bit out of the 3 sports and lets say we did not had to worry so much like the restrictions like there is in Europe .... I still thing that the best thing is the efoil cause is the best of both worlds... Wing foiling is great and peaceful but the learning curb is hard...not anyone can just learn it and also you depend on the wind to have fun...if is a day without wind you will just have to stay home...the jesurf is noise and makes smoke...but is also very fun and very aggressive...that is why the efoil is deff the best choice out of the 3 in my opinion. But for each their own for sure.

@@Coach_Rolando Obviously everyone here is heavily biased to eFoil, because everyone who owns one loves it. :-)

He did very well and he just called me today for another lesson. Lol

Yes… you could go below or above that depending on the configuration and what type of riding you want to have. If you have any questions about then and are looking to buy one please call me and I can help you out with the correct board for you and I can give you some “cash back” discount. 617-869-8852

I finally getting much better here now. Still a bit windy but no need for wetsuit now

Great for you...it all depends on what wing you are using too...but keep one thing in mind...speed is your friend...Just like a plane can "stall" at lower speeds...so the slower you go the more unstable and unbalanced your board will be...the fast you go the more stable your board will be...but also the faster you go the more lift you will have so you have to bring your point of balance forward...a couple inches moving forward will be enough....thank you for the comment and have fun out there

Is s regular water sports helmet… I can’t remember the brand but I can look it up again… if I’m not wrong is a white water kayaking helmet

Is amazing fun for sure… it is an efoil… electric hydrofoil by the company Fliteboard… check them out… if you have any questions or live in Boston let me know … you can take a lesson as well

He did great and took Flite on the first session as all my students do.

No… sold 2 years ago for 15k

Yes… as I said… they can go from $10k up to $15k or more depending what you get…I also did the same thing… I started with wing foil first and my intensions was to get better at wing foil.. that is why I got my Efoil just like you…now a never use my wing foil gear anymore… now I ask you… since you got your Efoil hand you been wing foiling a lot of less?

@@Coach_Rolando I have 10 sesions efoiling in Las Vegas,,Nevada and I return to Colombia to wing foil,, kitesurf, paraglide and motorcyce ride in 2 weeks.. You can always stays at my house in Colombia, near Cali and see what I have to offer my friend

I usually use the words "take off and land" lol

Are you asking me as what gear and set up of wingfoil will be best for you or what wingfoil set up I use???

I'm interested in your current gear.

@@R00063Rt My start up gear is an Armstrong 2400 wing, 300 stab, 99 liter board and a 4m duotone wing, then I got a 850 Armstrong wing, a 245 stab, a 5 and 6 meter wings by duotone again… then finally I got a 80 litter board and a 7.5 meter wing by Gong

Thank you very much. I wasn't aware that you are that into wing surfing. I was just considering what gear would be useful for guys of "our age and size" .. :-) That was helpful. Thx

@R00063Rt the wings size depends on how much you weight and also the foils as well… however I highly recommend for you to use the brand Gong… the are great quality and almost half the cost of other brands because they only have one store in France and they sale direct to you… you will be surprised with their product… I wish I knew about them before I got my Armstrong cause I could had saved at least a good 5k in gear

So even when you switch you are having problems correct? That is normal...you always will be strong in one side then the other...you just got to practice your weak side for longer rides...try to stay on your weak side longer then in your strong side...I cant even switch ...so I get blow down wind lol...I just got to be careful on the day when the wind is blowing off shore otherwise I can come back home...it sounds like you are doing much better than I lol

Thank you for the feed back… I did not know was hard to find parts for Jetsurf. I guess the e-foil tops in that too… so I would assume another plus score for e-foils… thank you for letting us know

I was not sure e what “riviera maya” was… so I did a search. Beautiful place. Fliteboard is great for any place however you got to be careful not to ride in very shallow places (off course)… if you slip and fall the board stops and will not go far… however you got to be careful not to fall in front of your Efoil… to get back on the foil, after getting to your bard you just lay down on it and start to the process of “getting speed” and getting up. I do not recommend for you to have a “strap” on the board. Depending how you fall they could pull your leg hard. If you are not so familiar with the sport of Efoil I recommend for you to watch my video “how to Fliteboard”… it wil answer all your questions and doubts… is a long video but it will help you a lot even as “how to fall off” the board. I hope it will help you and please leave a comment on that video if it helped you… here is the link… czcams.com/video/wnHXMFuHysg/video.html

Im so sorry for taking too long...apparently when I reply to you for the first time it did not got send to you...Let's see now....Yes...every sport has a kind danger to it...I also recovering form a nice scratch on my shin...and it happen not even when I was riding... walked into the wing lol...But for each their won...But this video was about if you have to pick ONE due to the cost and pros and cons of dealing with setting up, where to go and environmental concerns ... them off corse I pick Fliteboard...But as I explain to my friend and this might get to you as well...he is extremely good at netsurf...but once those skills get as good on flitebaord I can guarantee that he will pick Flite...the same might happen to you...thank you for the comment bud and have fun out there

LOL for sure...for each their own... I do prefer the efoil as well anytime...But I think if I was younger and with better knees I could find myself enjoying the jetsurf...but the video is about choosing one...so on that note the Fliteboard deff take it...thank you so much for commuting and I appreciate you takin the time to watch the video...looking forward to see your comments in the next videos...cheers

You just need to practice more… you will built up tolerance… my back leg used to burn… now I rarely feel anything unless I’m really going fast non stop and carving really hard… like everything else… just keep on practicing practicing … would not hurt to lift some weights. You will be fine

I was told if your back foot gets tired, move you body towards the back to use less back foot pressure and vise versa for the front foot

Great brother… I hope this will help… but as I said your own style is what matters. Have fun out there brother. Thank you for watching and please share. Cheers

Glad to hear that man,...Yes, good point as well...when turning into the toe side is good to look into the turn and ahead...never down...but try to "grab the board" with your toes...what that does get all your tendons on your feet and ankles to be firmer providing a more stable platform...it works amazingly...More videos coming up soo...pleas share and stay tuned...enjoy your summer riding brother

Great to know but… if there is any questions of doubts let me know… if you are on the market to buy a Fliteboard I can help with the correct set up for you. Cheers

LOL...you got to bring your wing someday here...we will do a trio ... and yes...some collab video of foil and Efoil will be just for fun...as I said...ill tow you and vice versa ... see you soon bud..thank you for the bday wish

Thank you brother...lol...there is a strap behind my neck and I keep the strap looped in the had as well...I lost at least 5 pair os sun glasses...cheep ones for sure cause im not that stupid ... enjoy your summer brother

Yes sir...the index finger holds the trigger and the rest holds both, controller and self stick...and I switch once In a while...thank you for watching...more reviews coming up soo...please stay tuned and share...cheers

Thank you brother...greatly appreciated...plesse keep of checking the videos....I got some good ones coming up...have a great summer

would the longer 80cm mast be better in the chop?

@@SteveHofsaess Thank you brother ... greatly appreciated ...Absolutely...I have a 75cm...2.2 version...Ill be buying the 3 soon with eh 80cm...that 5cms makes a difference for sure.

Yes...is rated for a floatation device...however not for big open ocean swells...im calm water is fine. but what daily like about it is the protection all around...Yesterday I took a silly wipe out and I hit my kidney really hard in the water,,,still hurts now....I dit no had that vest one...I had the one you see on the left...if I had the Flite I prob would not hut so much.

Glad to hear im not the only one lol...Thank you bud...be safe out there...Im ripped but also im starving lol lol...cheers

All runs on every board where done with 800 flyer and 290 stab. I kept the same set up on all of them to show the difference...I basically just changed the foil from one board to the other...If you have any question or doubts feel free to contact me...I hope this was helpful. Cheers

Yes...he is making really good stuff...people dont realize how good the shims can improve the ride...also Im looking forward to see the new props...I hera good things about them...Im waiting for him to send em the new stuff so I can try it out. Glad to know you are having fun with them.
