Flew over to Oahu for a downwind foil race put on by the local crew. This was my first time downwinding on Oahu, and the light wind made for a tricky run.

  • @chrispewkreme

    EXACTLY what I was thinking. The DW/wing board is probably ideal for beginners. But the midlength/bigger prone board may prove to be ideal in terms of float to get up, and size to rip! Would LOVE to try one eventually. Guys like you are invaluable because you've spent the money and help others determine if it suits their needs and budget. Big thanks!

  • @chrispewkreme
    @chrispewkreme 26 днів тому

    Exactly my thoughts. Use it to get up and then it's basically a prone sesh, albeit with a bigger board. Until you animals start launching with tiny prone boards....

  • @chrispewkreme
    @chrispewkreme 26 днів тому

    While I'm sure it floats for a period of time, I think it might be worth experimenting with some sort of floatation just in case. I'm sure eventually it would sink. I don't want to SUP DW. Hand paddles seems good IF the bumps are big. Wing foil is easy but the boards are huge and wing is annoying. THIS. Looks so sick! I'm curious if they'll ever have demo days to experiment. I'm curious if I could run a size bigger than a wing and go with a midlength board?

  • @chrispewkreme
    @chrispewkreme 26 днів тому

    What a great review! I don't quite understand the pricing but I'm thinking of biting the bullet. Looks great to take off at nearly any spot and then pack it away and feel as if you're on a prone DW run.

    I keep on thinking when i see the pumping movement to get the board up out of the water, isnt it possible to make it easy by including a spring and a joint in the mast? Once up it can be locked, But seeing a innovations lately it will be tried later. 😊

    • @chrispewkreme

      I think it needs to be rigid and translate all the energy. Spring would be too problematic in my opinion.

    Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. So cool to watch the birth of a new sport from the beginning. We didn't have this front seat UA-cam viewing when Kitesurfing, kite foiling or even when Wing foiling was born. Good observations with the lack of depower and angle of attack from a sitting position. Will the Parawing (is that we are calling it?) evolve to a collapsible wing, that stuffs in a Robin Hood style arrow pack? I'm sure someone, somewhere is working on it.

    Glad to see your having success. I just received my 5’2 and went straight to the beach in 18 knots winds. Pulled it out thinking it would probably not be enough power to pull me up on the board. As it launched all by itself just like the videos I felt like my arms were going to get ripped out of their sockets and got pullles down the beach twenty feet before pulling myself together. I’m 156 pounds and typically experience 12-15 knots but I think I need a smaller one even in those winds. Good lord I see the potential for sure but that was shocking lol.

I am always a bit surprised by when i do the math (squaring the wind speed).The energy increase in a couple knots is very non intuitive.

      GREAT info. I am on O'ahu. I typically see 12-15 knots up at this one spot and I've had luck with a 4.5M traditional wing I have a 6.5 that I don't even have to try to get up. I was thinking the 5M parawing may be ideal for those conditions. But now that i hear you saying you were overpowered, it makes sense. The 4.5 is ideal ONCE up on foil. The 6.5 is easy to get up but I am always overpowered once up and digging upwind as hard as possible and letting off some power/sheeting out. Really wish I could demo before pulling the trigger.
