My first-ever Skydio shot of winging. Raw footage. The other 95% of it was ruined by the drone enjoying the scenery and ignoring me. My guess is that Skydio is trying to track a person and gets confused by the wing. Gear: 5m Strike, 60L Rocket, Lift HA 170/38.

Foiling in the garage: foot switch
Переглядів 39 тис.2 роки тому
This setup works for practicing surf foiling and foot switch, and also for wing foiling slowmo jibes and tacks by attaching the wing with a stretchy rope to the wall. No substitute for time on the water but helps develop balance. This setup is quite different from a balance board: 1. You get all 3 axes: pitch, yaw, roll axes (vs. only pitch). 2. You can use your actual foilboard to add realisti...
Practicing foot switch with no wing
Переглядів 6362 роки тому
Foot switch is a basic but tricky move in wingfoiling - I'm using any opportunity I can find to practice it, incl. with no wind or wing. Filming oneself helps identify the weak spots: for me, back foot misplacement on one side requires correction. Gear: Lift Efoil 4'4", HA 200.

    Sergey, I'm trying to figure out your camera mounting. It doesn't seem solidly attached to the board??? In some of your videos, in which you mount to the wing, it also doesn't seem solidly attached to a strut. There's seems to be some flexibility??

  • @mindebrolis9582
    @mindebrolis9582 Рік тому

    I do not think it simulates foiling at all. With the speed and foil creating lift you have a movement direction, that moves the “board center” back or forwards depending if the foil is going up or down and on your speed. You can do foot switch kind of slow and you do not have to stand in the centre of the board for it. T

    Nice shots! thanks for the video. always good to know what could happen when the skydio2 flys over water. which mode did you use? Motion Track or Fixed Track? I always use Fixed Track/High Floor enabled and had no issues like in the second part 2.

У меня довольно большая доска (Кабрина Макро 97 литров), вряд ли ее возьмут в багажное отделение самолёта. Плюс пересадки...не повредят ли доску в процессе транспортировки 🤷‍♂️

    Great video. It seems like even having a beacon doesn't help with accurate tracking if you fall/wipe out in the water. I'm still on the fence to get one.. May be Skydio 3 will be better. I still ask my wife to film me manually on DJI Mavic Air2 )

    Thanks! Just the the type of review I was looking for. I sure was hoping the 2+ would have stayed locked onto the beacon better during the test “fall” than it did. I had the original Skydio2 for wing foiling but it’s tracking behavior over water was also sketchy just like you mentioned. Sold the 2 and still debating whether I should get the 2+, again for wing foiling. Has your opinion changed at all since this review?

  • @edwaingortin

    Genius. I will definitely try this. Question: does the board ever fly off the yoga mat /balance ball? I'm worried about damaging my 95 l epoxy board, not to mention my walls 🙂

    • @sergeymelnik8017
      @sergeymelnik8017 2 роки тому

      You are likely to hit the nose or tail against the floor when you lose balance. Be sure to use a grippy yoga mat, they differ a lot. The more padding you can use around you, the better. If it's an option, start with an inflatable board. Have a safe journey!

  • @boardmaverick
    @boardmaverick 2 роки тому

    Sergey, Thanks for an interesting take on switching feet. Not many people talk about how the board reacts when you lift your feet, and your comment about the center line got me thinking how/why I do it slightly differently. I recommend keeping your feet slightly offset laterally, from the longitudinal center line, both before and after the switch, to maintain your ability to steer. Placing your feet on or near the center line of the board will help to prevent accidental turns when you switch feet, however, this also makes it difficult if to turn if you need to. Now, because for me it just never felt right bringing my back foot forward, I recommend jumping with both feet at the same time, shoving the board a little bit in the opposite rotation to your body similar to a “shove-it” in skateboarding. Prior to the “shove-it” foot switch, make sure you are balanced front-to-back. You can even “worm” both feet toward your front-to-back balance point prior to the jump so the distance your feet need to travel is shorter. Jumping with both feet at the same time prevents the nose from diving e.g. if you lift your back foot first. Also, it will prevent the board from turning if your feet are positioned laterally as I recommend above. Food for thought. Thanks, -Barely Standing Stu

    • @sergeymelnik8017
      @sergeymelnik8017 2 роки тому

      Thanks for sharing your experience. The dry setup is somewhat idiosyncratic since there is no foil to provide lateral stability. On water, I also use an offset stance and switch feet one after another.

    • @sergeymelnik8017
      @sergeymelnik8017 2 роки тому

      Thanks! For lightest wind, I use 6m dlab, 75l rocket, lift ha 200/38 on 28" mast (80kg rider). Said that, I usually prefer going out on 60l rocket and ha 170/32/32 in light conditions, wait for a gust, and try not to fall :)
