Is the WINGSURFER really the new trend?! KEVVLOG³ #11

- Lately a lot of brands are coming out with a WINGSURFER. It's the new trend! I read a lot of mixed comments. Some people love it and some hate it, so I thought I would make a KEVVLOG about it to share my thoughts on the Wingsurfer. My suggestion is to first give it a go before you really know how it is. But I can tell you one thing it's FUN!

Lots of negative comments, yet most brands are sold out or back ordered. Pretty psyched to add this dimension to my quiver, not replace my quiver with this dimension. A nice safe, rigging-free alternative for a quick solo foil session when kiting isn't ideal...like on a lake with no beach.
Let me know how it goes . What brand did you go for ?
Luis Escobar I was fortunate enough the get my hands on the SPG double strut 4m. It is incredibly strong and feather light, highly recommend.
True! Most people speak before they try it;)
Genius! I can't wait to see where this goes. As far as all the backtalk, people were laughing at windsurfing in the 70s, and laughed at SUPs in the 90s.
A pro like Kevin makes everything look easy. I wonder how easy it would be for an average guy who just tried it for the first time on a SUP board? Would you need a need a dagger board of some kind to go upwind?
Mike Skor 4 sq meters of this wing is nothing for daggerboard. To accelerate daggerboard of let say 3.50 meters length you need a sail not less than 6 square meters and harness and lines to hold it. Take a sail of 4 sq meters and try to sail on daggerboard- you’ll get nothing
A lot of wingsurfers recommend starting winging on a SUP. My local surfshop recommended trying the foil board in a wake park first (as it's a smaller volume, so harder but more fun after initial learning curve). With the SUP you're going downwind fast and won't get back as there is no counter tension in the water. I'm going to try the wing on a beach, maybe on a skateboard and go the wake park route with the lower volume foil probably. Hard to order these as they're sold out everywhere I live. Oh yeah, I saw a video of winging with a small surfboard but the fellow said it was rather tough as compared to foil.
Look at the positive, you won't need sunscreen! Hahaha
So good in the rain as well!
lmao true
This thing is perfect for a sailboat. It deflates and is compact. Very dope!
Sold
takes up the same space as a kite and bar-- you'll still need a pump unless you go with a foilkite, then no pump :)
Matt Damon has some kite skills
R N. I thought it was dirk diggler
Definitely looks like a good workout!! And where kite is forbidden could be a good way to still enjoy water and wind. I'll have to try it.
I'll stick with kitesurfing thanks !
Yep
Yep. This looks foolish.
We need more videos on getting started in WingSurfing. 99% of the videos show someone already up on the foil. More water start videos please!
search youtube and you will find... already came across 3 vids..
They should probably make some transparent panels in the wing, so you can see downwind since because of right of way
The duotone wing has exactly that
Armstrong and RRD also have that.
I saw these a few weeks back in an email from MAC Kiteboarding and started looking into it.They look like fun. There are quite a few videos out about them. I used to windsurf long ago and want to get into kiteboarding when my shoulder heals (recent surgery) and these look like a good time. Saw a video with Robby Naish talking about his and demonstrating it. Pretty cool
How much wind do you had on your test day?
Robby said the thing that appeals to me. The simplicity of it.
That's what was putting me off kiting.
How long can you do this until your arms get tired without a harnas
... exactly bro, no normal sufer can hold on more than 15min
You would be surprised. On a foilboard, the drag is very low and the wing supplies lift, so there is not too much load on the arms, you can ride much longer than you might think. Easily winging for over an hour (so far).
I windsurf, surf, supsurf and recently started foiling.... Wanted to start foil surfing and seems like a this is great product for on Aruba that is always windy! I like everything, as long as i can go in the water. I think its awesome, and yeah, sorry kitesurfers, but the rest of us that like alot of things do think its cool that companies are innovating and providing options
Exactly
Bro it’s only for small winds and foil boards, it’ s just an additive for real wind and kitesurfing cause for strong winds you really need harness and lines
I used a kitewing with a harness, This is a kitewing for water, there is no reason why you couldn’t use a harness here. It’s incredibly intuitive to tack and jibe.
No massive jumps = NO thanks! B O R I N G !
If Kevin boss says it is fun, then Kevin says the same 🤣
Juan 😂😂
Looks like fun aside ones equip. indeed like Robby mentioned, moderate winds & prohibited kite zones, cool! my case however just spend over 2k on a Foil set, board 4.6. I guess to small size? if I also need another bigger foil board for this I guess I'd need to wait a few empty Batches.. ;-) See yha Tarifa folks ✌
Was the board drowning or what was the issue? What's your weight and what was the board volume?
Brian Talma..everythin lookin juss fine...all irie...! long time no see...best wishes from Robin (Camera PBA early 90's) now in Aotearoa....and Sir Naish..still showing us how to stay young....good on your guys....safe travels.
Cool. All you need now is $3k for the foil SUP, $800 for the wing and endless hours down the beach to practice no hand water starts to get planing ... and you’ll be skimming along like a Pro windsurfer/kite surfer
Really ... 🤦♂️😆
Kev can foil with a towel in his hands and even without it and it's still going to be fun :o)
And so true
yeeee get psyched for the megaloop challenge!! see you in zandvoort
1:01 turtleneck :D no seriously big idol robby - pushed this sport far!
Did same with framed nasa wing in the early 90's and tryed the new wave.. but long line kite surfing is much more fun..
Indeed it is looking like my dear old Nasawing :)))
what is the minimum wind speed to get moving?
dont your arms get exhausted?
I love toys for boys but I’ll skip this one, Kitesurf rules 🤘🏻
Wtf? Noone is talking about Kitesurfing here...... Its about kitewing.
Tony, I think that’s the point 🙄
I can't wait to do a sixty foot air over one of these things on my kitesurfer! It will increase the speed of SUPs and keep them upwind so you get to jump over them more often. Plus they will all have newly purchased pumps at the beach for when mine breaks!
Wingsurfing has been around for decades. The latest "trend" is just an opportunity from top manufacturers to suck even more cash from the community. Nowadays everything is about advertising, promotions, marketing, sponsorship,sales,social medias bullshits and recognition. Greed is killing the original spirit of the sport. Yes indeed,Robby is "addicted..." to money....(snark).
People complain about anything.
@@christopherthomas596 Any argument?....
@@tarajordan1385 ??
@@tarajordan1385 I'm just saying it's a non issue. Anyone can opt not to try this if it doesn't look appealing. I probably wont myself.
@@christopherthomas596 Wing-surfing is cool,that's not the point I made, My issue is related to the utter commercialization of the kite-wing-wind surfing community. Like I mentioned in my original comment,greed is killing the spirit of the sports...
Wing surfing = more time on the water... looked like even the pros were struggling a tad there...ah well, keeping the money flowing in Robbie's direction I guess
misschien moeilijk voor jou om te doen maar het is echt niet zo moeilijk hoor... en alle merken komen er mee uit dus het geld gaat niet alleen naar Robbie en uiteindelijk zijn het verkopers van een product dus het mag he..? ;-)
all the haters haha!! never knowing with all their negative comments they are helping the companies sell like crazy! First batches in all companies are already out!! thanx guys ;-)
btw; Everyone just do your thing and stop nagging! Some idiots saying they rather kitesurf but actually they spend 20 days in a year on the water...
How are you "rigging in 20 sec"? Are they not inflatable?
Probably wind ram
You could do this on a small lake or even river... packs down small... it's just something different...just like kitesurfing when it started...
I love Windsurfing :) But this looks fun too.
if Heath ledger and matt Damon had a kite surfer son.
😂
I see Kevin’s first product with his new company was NOT a windsurfer.
But I just ordered a new supermodel!!
wow. looks fun!
It’s getting stupid. Even the experienced wind surfers looked clumsy.Its always about buying more plastic crap to have fun you’ll never have because your working to pay for more plastic crap.Stop buying plastic crap.
Marky mark has kite skills
This looks so sketchy. I like it raw and will stick to the most simple thing, 6 ft board and surfing waves.
I have an idea: put 4 lines on it with a bar ...........
stick with your dashcams bro
Am I looking at 3-4k equipment that is bloody slow and quite uncomfortable to control in action?
That looks fun !
it´s clearly tricky to get water started from it. I imagine the only cool situation would be riding it with a foilboard, but, once you get the minimum of wind to do so, a conventional combination of foilboard and kitefoil or tubefoil would be much more fun. So, by now, I can see no advantage.
Very interesting, still needs some improving, like a hook so one could lean backwards in the same way you do in kitesurf and your hands won' t get stiffed and painful.
Next, they'll be selling us the "inflatable Dyson ring wing" styled after the blade-less fan.
No, people involved in kitesurfing have real passion for what is a marginal sport, this is a very marginal thing in a marginal sport. I am really not convinced about this in any way. Robbie and Kevin are legends.
What exactly is there to be convinced about?
Real cool, how much for one of those kites & one of those hydrofoil boards, the exact one you using in this video?
Around 3k EUR currently.
Robbie: “Ruben, I need your help flogging this new product”
Kevin: (Ruben?) ...umm sure, you’re my main (sponsor) man (....he such a windsurfer)
Cameraman: (he used to do it himself) hey, I’m drowning here, can you drag me back to shore.....oh right, no)
Editor: “meet you in the bar? Na..gotta work all night on this one the rides are so short“
Sales: “Robbie, we’re gonna sell so many, I’ve got the dealers (if they wanna keep being a dealer) ordering loads, can I have my commission now”
Me: just pulling your leg...good luck though....
It will probably work better on a skateboard 🛹 still looks silly
too much trouble might as well do wind surfing or kitesurfing
Seem like a really niche product to me, I guess it will be useful for some people
Maybe try it on skis or a snowboard .
How much is a wing worth?
Brian Talma, legend!!!
Looks fun !
The guys with kites look like they’re having more fun. Which kite company was first, it seems everyone is jumping on the bandwagon and has a wing this season.
Why no snowboard applications depicted in the video?
We just went reverse in our tech love it lifes a circle
Старенькая тема, просто дядя Нейш обновил это балконами от кайта, и пошло дело:)
NO :)
Where can we buy this? I WANT ONE!
Target.
Good job they're inflatable... Will make it easier to throw them in the skip after they've collected dust in the garage for a couple of years....
Whats the Windrange of these things?
Is it also possible to use the wingsurfer with a strapless kiteboard? Or is it only possible with a supboard or Foil?
You definately need some (much) volume in your board, thats why he mentiones just sup
If your strapless has much volume, it probably works
Some manufacturers are already developing bigger wings to increase speed. Personally I use a 9,0-43-120 liters supsurfing board,but you need at least some 20 to 25 knots wind.
Where do un buy the gear?
I don't see anybody Boonton 40-foot airs off the lip though
I love it! But so expensive for me.... 😢😢😢
It all depends. Apartments are expensive but people do get credit for it. This costs around a low end used car which will break faster than your equipment, thus needing reinvestment to function. If you really want it, you will get it eventually. I sure know I want one.
Could i ride with twintip in 40kts?
Love foil Matt
Все новое прекрасно! Продолжайте!!!
Good vd ga zo door Kevin en kom een keer naar schellink hout aan het IJsselmeer
Dude, you're Dutch, yes? I love my little Holland.
If there is a way to use it laying down on a body board i will buy one
You can paddle on a wingboard but for winging you will have to manipulate the wing, sorry.
I love windsurf
Looks like it is pretty slow
I remember when everyone ran out and bought an SUP....that is a dying sport....ask any retailer that sells them. I think this wii not last.
SUP ist still popular, what are you talkin about?
Lol,sup is a dying sport,where have you spent the last decade?. Most of professional surfers are now sup surfing. Sup surfing is the next dimension to surfing. You don't need tow,jet-ski and babysitters. You can take your board offshore and catch big swells on your own,without any assistance.
This wing is ok, but the foil is dangerous shit and combination is questionable.
It's ridiculous
It's just a toy. The only thing you can do, is making turns en just stay on course. Where is jumping, etc?...
$800 hahahahaha
maciejtyrcz wtf... that Is so overpriced
Не впечатлил. Разок после пива можно попробовать.
Денис Домащенко если только у тебя есть доска с подводным крылом, иначе на таком размере 4 метра в слабый ветер ни на какой серфовой доске ты быстро не поедешь, а в сильный ветер уже нужна трапеция
Wing has been around for decades,I don't see how it would be the "new trend". Besides,in its current state and technology,the wing doesn't bring anything new to the table. Stick with kite and wind surfing,until wing manufacturers develop something that fully exploit wind power....
These extrem-sport guys are all ageing faster
Demo’tje morgen?!! #wifikite
Awwww i only do kitesurfing but il just try it
I'm really not attracted to this...
Is that Matt Damon & Will Firrel..? 🤔😂
Who will be the first to troll for and catch a Marlin on this setup?
lov the video but what a crap thing! I will stick with the kites!
Thanks for sharing Kevin!
I am sure you have not tried it yet..
I’ll stick paragliding and hang gliding thanks guys
I’d like to (or better to see a pro) try this with a skimboard: not wave, shorebreak but extended flat portions of wide surf beaches, as skim boards don’t have any fin ...
What’s the point? Kites can fly innit
I respect R.Naish but I called that "Bussiness Bullshit"...👎
Nice toy, but i prefere the kitesurf, it's too amazing.
You could survive like this on the ocean
NICE CHEMTRAILS
And then he gladly switch to the kite for finally enjoy nice and windy day......
Marky Mark looks similar
You can use wing on a turf skateboard...
Why not ? We used to use bed sheets .
@@jeffbauer3425 I like to see that... or did you make a wing frame..
