NEW SPORTS: CAN I LEARN TO SUP FOIL AND DOWNWIND IN ONE WEEKEND?
Listen to me talk to myself over a challenge I set. Trying to learn both sup foiling and downwinding in one weekend.
Disclaimer: Go chat to a shop about what gear is best for you. I have done a lot of prone foiling and dock start downwind runs so reading bumps already came natural to me. If I was learning to foil or sup without this experience I’d be on a completely different setup.
Filmed POV GoPro hero 11.
Spots: Lyall Bay and Seatoun
Gear:
-Board: Armstrong Downwind Perfomance 98L 8’2 by 16 3/4 wide
-Foil: HA1080, Speed 180, PM795 and 60 fuse. All set at 8 on the tracks. No shim.
-Paddle: Fanatic adjustable
-Weight: 83KG no wetsuit

The session that things started to click for me. Nice to feel the last few months of practice come together. Footage from a mega 4 hour session of ideal conditions. Armstrong PM795/60F/Speed180 and switching between the HA925 and MA1225. Time to start working on some turns 🎥by Simon Croft

    How did you like the HA1080 for surf/downwind? I'm about to buy a new foil for the same (and also some pump foiling on flat water). Thinking of the 1080 or APF 1325 or 1675. I'm 70kg with some SUP surf experience.

      @@lorensperber1882 for me I really like the HA1080 for bay run bumps and I wouldn’t go bigger but that’s because I have put some serious hours in on the foil. I also dock start this foil. However if learning to downwind and pump foil then the APF1325 should work well for you. It all depends on your level

      I have the 82L and tried the 92L. It is a really good all round board and my favourite wave board I have owned. The 82 turns so well. I always put foot straps in the middle, fins in the middle. I assume 102L is your light wind/ big board?
