hahaha thanks mate!! appreciate the support! Going to get back to the winging videos soon! thinking carving 360 video tutorial?? let me know if you have anything you want covered!

🙏🙏

Thanks legend!!! Appreciate the comment 🤙🤙

I’m 87kg, on the 7’4” 110L and was using a 5.5m strike v4 in this video. I’d recommend going closer to 120L for learning and the wing size for this drill should be smallest possible that you can still get up on the foil with

Yep small wing. Or at least once up flag out whatever wing and push hard down leg motion. I was trying to feel the foil repel and then imagine to float no gravity before pushing down hard again Yeah waiting for bumps. I’m thinking how to get out to the small learner stuff. Will be against the wind on-shore and in the same zone as my buddies whizzing by winging 😂 Won’t resort to the dark side (foildrive) or I’d rather give up. Going pretty good on my knees against the wind. Paddle out

@@wingfoilrentals we might all be waiting for a parawing 😂😂

@@LachieWhite gong are about to release. Plenty of vids hitting the net past few days re the 5m

@@wingfoilrentals saw some footage, looked like longer lines

Yeah, I was the same at the start. Sounds like you are at a good confidence level to test them out!

@@petercook7798 hundred percent! I actually did this in my next session and will be in next week’s episode (spoiler alert 😂).Another good thing to do with the wing is practice pumping the board up onto foil with absolute minimum wing assist

@@LachieWhitethank you for the content, one comment- pumping up a high aspect foil like eagle cx doesn’t really work, since it needs some speed to develop it’s lift. Dw with wing is the perfect start.

@@mp.345 interesting, what about the high camber foils with high aspect ratio that have some low end? I am starting to feel like the seven seas 1500 has almost too much early lift to be able to generate forward speed

@@petercook7798 thanks mate! this was my third session of paddling around in the flat and have used these cues in every session since

@@LachieWhite So like 6 hours on the water or something like that?

⁠@@petercook6570yeah, maybe even slightly less. Not sure how that stacks up with most people but I think balance from low wind winging on smaller boards really helped. The paddling side of things has been the main handbrake. Understanding how to paddle efficiently and at high cadence has taken me a little bit

@@haydenmossop5758 starting to warm up!

Where you at

I come on holiday you lend me some gear ... I am fat .. so next sail up and a big board

@@leapnlarry for sure! Bit of a frustrating session today but need to take the medicine at times too

@@mikegregory222 thanks mate!!!

@@mikkgodfree3886 appreciate the comment and thanks for tagging along!

No worries! Thanks for the comment 😀

@@shaunaustin6493 thanks mate! You too 🤙

@@Alfonso_111 thanks!! About 7 paddling sessions total. Will be episode 8 or 9 of the longer videos that I’ve been putting out. I think low wind winging really helped me going into it. Balance on the board is significantly underrated and low wind winging when the board starts to sink in the water helps a lot!

@@LachieWhite brilliant. Just the tagline i need to keep my current job AND future job (DW guide)

@@wingfoilrentals haha, certainly ties it all together!

@@Jetsetfastfood haha, water is starting to warm up as we head out of winter. Currently around 13 degrees celsius

@@LachieWhite 😳

@@wingfoilrentals 😂😂 right wetsuit and you don’t even notice it

@@wingfoilrentals exciting times!! Love to hear it!!

@@mikegregory222 hahaha love it!!!

@@davidstewart9982 that’s an awesome observation. Cool to hear the crossover with the kiting world

So stoked!!

Haha thanks mate!!

@@jamesoof1522legend! Appreciate the support! If any time speed is your friend, it’s in light winds. Enter the gybe after doing a few foot pumps and a few pumps of the wing at the same time. Everything is more critical in light wind so you want as much speed as you can get. Aim for at least 70-80% of your light wind top speed. After that, the technique mentioned in this video will help a lot. Hold onto the wing in the old position as you carve through the first part of the gybe, then transition the wing through quickly once you get through dead downwind. Transitioning the wing from the old position to the new position will prevent the wing getting backwinded and stop it from dropping onto the nose of the board where it will get in the way of the turn. Your other option is to learn the heineken gybe which I have some videos on. It will keep the wing above your head where it won’t backwind anywhere near as often

🎉🎉🎉

@@mikegregory222 was all good! I have a break away leash that releases on high load crashes

@@mikegregory222 hahaha definitely did 😂 gotta love the wing for slowing down the crash

@@LachieWhite thank you 🙏 learning from you so much thanks...

@@mikegregory222 glad to hear it!

Ride the kite!!!❤😊

@@bariqharb2835 not too bad in this one haha. Probably around 20 knots

@@LachieWhite that’s quick but the video made it look faster!

@@CarlosMenaMesa thanks legend!!!

@@wingfoilrentals a little bit haha. Camera angle doesn’t help either

I have a couple videos on the topic that will help! Go check them out and let me know if you have any questions 🤙

@@mikegregory222 micro foil slide 😂😂 tail slides are the new thing 🤪🤪

@@lodovicobernardi if you are keeping everything else the same then I agree. I start on a bigger wing to access smaller foils and stay on that wing for longer. Benefit being, more speed, agility and pushes me to be very precise with tacking and gybing which I like! If you don’t drop too far down in aspect ratio and you carry a big enough wing, upwind is not an issue! Helps to use a harness line too

Ok but then the wing would be too big to be agile, not so convenient

@@lodovicobernardidepends on the wing and personal preference. I use my 550 in 10-12 knots+ with a 5.5m and find it doesn’t affect the agility of the foil

For me with the kite race foil 550 with light wind I’m slow and 0 vmg.. if I put 750 wing foil so much faster. But sure a more efficient wing might improve the situation

@@carledinger3422 because I’m weak and can’t take a carbon knife blade to my skull 😢

strike v4 5.5m, Rocket Wing Board 5'0" 70L and the sk8 550

@@LachieWhite thanks mate - I’m just researching to see what to get myself started with!

@@RhettNicholas epic!! Let me know if you need any more pointers

@@thaniyahoo legend!! Appreciate the support 🤙🤙

@@Eerier thanks legend!!

Forward WIP

Do you have the f one screw set with that or a different one?

@@lucaknowles245 yeah, just the standard set

@@mariofd1875 sk8 550

@@mikkgodfree3886 haha, appreciate it! Haven’t even thought of some of the stuff guys are out there doing though 🤯🤯

@@Jetsetfastfood you get it 👀

@@giavaxve great point! I have always run my straps wide and low so that I only really poke my toes under the straps. Sorry to hear you figured that one out the hard way. Glad to hear you are back at it though!!!

@@finfoils yep, sk8 550

@@LachieWhite wow 550 is small mine is 950

@@finfoils sk8 is awesome hey!

@@markusrapke7390 have a play with it and let me know. I prefer to exit with my hand in overhand grip because if I want to roll into a tack after the gybe I don’t have to switch my grip around. Tacking with underhand grip is a little tricky

Give me your wisdom wise one 😅😅

@@LachieWhite Ok, I'll give you some good advice on your channel. Can you give me your whatsapp number.

@@pack54956 see what you mean, this was one of my earlier sessions the sk8 550 so was adjusting to the higher stall speed

Yeah, keeping me busy haha
