Video

Great video and very informative

What a well prepared video. Finally a video an average joe can follow. You are my hero dude.

Great video. I am an experienced windsurfer learning to wing foil. I bought a 115l board (I weigh 185 lbs) in hopes of speeding up the curve. Fun learning again.

Hi, at 1:08 you say you had practiced without the foil attached. Where ther any finn or sg like this attached, or nothing???

Love the channel and reviews. Are you done with content? Hope all is well.

I have had it for 4 months from Sept to Jan and then again even stronger for the past month.. Thanks for the video and the tips!

As someone who had their first session on the foil yesterday, I'd say just lose the straps/hooks completely. You can never fully eliminate the risk of really nasty ankle injuries. There will be cases where even a hook can mess you up. For example yesterday I hit an underwater object (at a familiar spot where I thought it was deep enough) and got launched off the board while going 10+ mph where the board came to an immediate complete stop. Since I had no straps or hooks no damage was done. I cannot imagine how bad it could've turned out with a strap or even a hook. It's really not that hard to ride without straps. If anyone cannot ride a foil board without straps they need to first go and spend time on a strapless surfboard and learn some technique instead of relying on the straps.

Great video. So honest.

Do I even need any footpocket? When riding directional I dont use any either and its perfectly fine to do the waterstart without.

Great content

the guy is not in deep water ......

Hi , what happened You stopped posting???

Did some work at SpaceX and was blessed to experience the Ditch. Had a absolute blast!

i ve been riding foil kites for years in alpine lakes ,, 8-10knots and sometimes i had to swim back to shore, the good thing, is that the kite remain in the air until 5knots then will backstall. only once i had to pack the kite in the water and swim back , roll the lines to the kites, use it as a buoy and once it will slowly deflate, roll it up slowly, to keep air pressure in the remaining part, once deflated, it s rolled like at the end of a cession. for 8 knots riding and if the win will slowly die out, i usually had a small backpack with tiny pair of palms (like bodyboarding ones) and palmed gloves, it saves u energy to swim back in a drop out (LEI or foil kite), some cash and my phone if i end up on the other side of the lake ( 40km perimeter lake) for X reasons. we did some tests with friends, the kite (new kite) will take 30mn to deflate when it s in the water (calm lake , zero knots, we used a blow leafer to inflate it) 90% of launchs are hot launches (whatever the wind, snow or water) as the kite only get power once inflated (my lake launch spot has barely the deph of the lines, error margin is very small) self land: back stall against a fence (can use a human too as it will wrap around him), in low wind, i backstall it then reverse land it on the leading edge (grass or snow) and i will put the chickn loop on something and walk to the kite ( which is full depowered as u dont handle the bar), he will try to get in the ground and not fly away.

Still can't figure out why none of the big brands haven't taken this idea

I would buy one but I don’t think you’ll be mote than 2meters off the water

That is whyI keep my old snapped blade paddle. Just in case

Tryed both. Soul behind a competition. Ozon is crap. Zipper on the kite in sandy conditions? Seriously? How long it will last? Soul is super stable and not loosing it form even stalling. Ozone is shitty.

How about mast angle trim ?

Very nice video. Would be great a updated version and with other brands

nice vid - relevant part starts at 2:15 ;) thanx

Gong inflatables are not good. Like toys. I had 1 and it lasted 1 month before the valve popped. Customer service didnt want to help. Nasty

I had 2 inflatable boards from gong. Both leaked after 1 month. Useless.

Terrible board. I have had 2. 1st one the inflation valve came off. 2nd one thr seams came apart. Both used lightly and looked after. Contacted gong as boards were still under warranty but they refused to answer my emails

It's incredible how the material has developed. With my 65kg, the North Reach 13m2 2024 (not a special super light wind kite) and the North Trace 145/45, I'm easily cruising and jump at 11-12 knots.

My nephew of 7 years old just started to learn kitesurf. Great and very important video you ve made. So cool. Thank you!!!!

Im only 19 years old and i am getting this pain. And i am not even ´doing anything crazy

V useful....thanks.

You want to teach your kid ? Get a foil kite specifically flysurfer hybrid

Getting you vehicle stuck on the way in or out is a right of passage at SPI

Any experience with the AXIS tray 110 or 125? Just a bit more board especially for me at 275lbs - THX

These are the best people and we love you Jeff and crew ! YES WE DO !!!

I have a peak 5, 5 & 8m. Still I haven’t use them on water since I have big Lei kites. But I was wondering if a 2,5m & 13m would be a good addiction for the super windy and low wind days (both at snow and sea)

Hard to believe these videos are free.

Fuck tampons with strings had them more work then it’s worth since using UFOv2 tampons are now used in construction make great drop clothes UFO will out perform tampons for 90% of kite foil riders plus tampons you always have to adjust the pulley system where inflatables as long as you on the kite. It’ll always fly right has for your harness majestic they never ride up

Just one note: I use Soul instead of Airush Ultra V4. So Soul is easyer to restart from the water then AIrush Ultra which is LEI.

Do you absolutely need to have those straps to kite foil?

Thanks ! I will try ))

Hi😅

I’m on a 7’10” 21” DW with 127 liters. I now have 6 session which are limited to about 30-45 min before exhaustion and the walk. I can get to my front foot consistently but as soon as my rear foot touches the board, I’m off the heel side, same thing repeated every time. There is micro success every attempt but two walks up the beach render me wasted. I even had a buddy hold the rear of a wider 8’ board, stood for 5-6 seconds (my record) before falling. I’m 72 200lbs maybe 210 with gear. The word frustrating comes to mind until… everyone I talk to says is a two month process to foiling.

Gybe is next big step after being able to remain on the board, it's impressive with kitefoiling how you go through all the steps of progression you thought were behind you in twintip...back to school is a humbling experience ;-) Your videos are of value, keep up to good work ! thanks

In light wind, I prefer jibes with downloops because it keeps the tension on the lines.

One of the best workouts for kiters; good for skiers as well. Great stuff!

Hello Kyle! Thanks in advance for your increíble reviews. If you can please give me some advice. I'm planning yo Buy a kujira 1210 for wingfoil BUT y wonder if i can use it for kitefoiling as well. Im am 80kg and intermediate kitefoiling rider on a cabrinha hirise lift 900. I know from what understand from your review on youtube, that kujira 1210 works well 100% for wingfoil. but i what % does it work well for kitefoiling in your opinion? my expectation is that if it works at least an 80% well thats ok for me. Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much. You are very logical in your explanations. Your voice is expressive and inviting. And not over playing like a lot ood CZcamsrs. The content is clear and good chosen. Very nice. Please keep on posting ❤

Just wanted you ping you to say thank you for all your content, hope you’re keeping well and getting some time on the water.

Datasets with own experience available for each Peak size re wind ams foilsize?

Thanks for this very good tipps! After a lot of attempts It feels always so wrong... :-) But now I hope the best (again)! Toe side tack is much easier! best regards Jo

Thank you for a very informative video. well articulated and precise..

Never! Far too many lines
