@patrickfrank4356 we are in the north east UK 🇬🇧 water is 6°c air around freezing or just above this time of year 6mm wettys this spot is seaburn /roker. Great local beach crew 👌 Thanks for watching have a great new year 😀

@michielfermie6222 I ride big foils just to get more lift and glide and be able to ride slower to mach the speed of the swell ,with the wave riding and freefly in mind, if I was mostly on flat water I would just ride the ypra and drop sizes for speed and maneuverability. But for me, as it is my flat water days are training days for a wave day, so big foils that I can use on small 2 ft waves are suited to what my main goal is. My next foil will be a 122 cm wide aspect 13 downwind foil, I think I will be able to use it in tiny wind chop . I'm very strong on my legs I do not find them hard to turn or any draw backs . Thanks so much for watching and commenting Have a great new year

@michielfermie6222 just to add the veloce v3 feels fast I may get a small veloce v3 in large think it's 950cm2 as my smallest wing

@@christomo Ah, that makes total sense! Tnx for the reply and keep those vids coming. :-)

@michielfermie6222 😎 will do

@michielfermie6222 However, I went out on the curve h xl 1300cm2 today and tried for the first time the fluid 42 stab, and it was so slow and dragging, I feel that all my v2 foils work so much better with the v2 freestyle stab for me . The new v3 veloce is so much more lively 😍 just for info

@jeromesurffoil7033 I'm glad you liked it. Have a great holidays Thanks for liking and commenting 😀

@dannyvardanian thanks so much for watching good winds mate .

@andybarber7563 dw, it will be a long road I think , loads to learn tho . Thanks fella

@gb2008bluefrog thanks G 😊 🙏

@SteveMarshall-l3g thanks my man got a smart watch so hopefully get some type of app thing for winging

@jonip.21 thanks John 😊 🙏

@kasperlundegaard yes I would guess, so I'm flying at 14kn with 5.5 neutra and v3 veloce h . I'm 94kg dry it takes more effort and skill to get up, but ones up, glide is more and pumping easy, so stating up is easier than curve h Hope that helps some . Have a great holidays

@lazer2997 thanks man for kind words The gong systems are very good the v3 is really good I think axis are amazing foils and exceptionally good quality but far to pricey for me the carvon mast is just not in my budget so I have stayed with gong and don't feel I'm missing much I cam try 2 front wings for the price of 1 axis . I currently use xxl curve v2 for light and veloce xl v3 for everything else as you know . So I think the xxxl curve will work well for you . Gong seems to have grown as a brand and have quality products as good as other brands IMHO I do buy other gear as well if the quality and price point are there . If you can try first it would be good 👍 hope that helps some it's always hard to commit as it's expensive to switch systems however we will all be on something quite different in 5 years from now imo Thanks again chris 👍

@@lazer2997 update I'd be seriously looking at the new fg range

@OCEANBOUND1 Yes, the veloce v3 is the highest aspect at 10.1 it is 1080 mm wide for 1150cm2 The curve h is 8.5 aspect for 1050 mm wide and 1300cn2 but is a little thicker more volume, so it's up on foil in 12kn easy The gong downwind foils veloce v3 hdw wings are aspect 13. If I remember right, it's 1220 mm across, and 13 aspects for 1200cm2 are the biggest one Thanks for watching my man

@youdigsurf waves here don't justify the fluid and the veloce is best suited to our conditions I'm considering a bigger one or a hdw for downwind but not sure what to go for or a v2 curve 4xl

@@christomo well im using the fone sk8 that is supposed to be a wave foil on swell and it still pretty good you know there other thing to consider like playfulness , manoeuvrability even on bump ! 😉

@youdigsurf yes I like the sk8 as well great foil so many options out there I think the sk8 or the new fireballs would be my choice if money was not a factor

How would you feel about the biggest Veloce V3 as a light wind option?

@grantmacdonald4838 yes that should work well if the user has good technical knowledge on pumping up on foil with a wing . The Curve h would be much easier tho

@jonathanalstead thanks man I just love the way that move just flows while riding 👌 . Thanks for watching have an awesome weekend

@michaelhampshire1634 paddies is only good 2 hours each side of high tide . If you travel round to foilers, bay/ chem works its good on a mid tide as well. Only a very low tide does not work . Thanks so.much for watching 👀

@@christomo Thanks for the info, videos are great. Ill have a drive up this weekend

@michaelhampshire1634 where are you located

@@christomo Sheffield, surfed the north east coast for years but only just started foiling this year. Kev at Beadnell got me heading in the right direction, just need more time on the water now. Hopefully making the move up that way shortly.

@michaelhampshire1634 class I lived next to Hillsborough late 90s learned to land kite there around 1998 , keep in touch not sure where we will be sun but we may be at foilers bay as well

@DavidHarryUncut thanks for watching, mate. I appreciate the ongoing support advice and friendship 👍 . Yes, UA-cam shafted me, but I struggle to find time some months to even get out in the winds , working as a chef /barman. Xmas is a busy time . He is a f ING rant gopro the cun@ts selling gopro13 almost as cheep in sale as to subscribers with a free subscription so 100 quid off is useless really . It's only any good if you're smashing cameras like me, but again, I'm not spending 100 quid to replace gopro 11, so I will go for another brand in the new year. god knows what, tho. Still loving your chanel main and uncut . Do you have and vid from your music days ? Any way speed soon have a good week

@@DavidHarryUncut ps I was up at 3am as well insomnia I can't get no sleep

@stephens.9748 I'm loving it. the carbon mast is stiff, and the veloce v3 is easy as the curve h for me is not quite as good on low end but not far off overall a very good upgrade I will change everything to v3 as I can afford it . Gong has matured very well the new fuse saves all the problems the v2 had with screws . Hard decisions try if you can . I did a video this week.in it I'm riding the v3 so much more glide . I will do a v3 review update next few weeks if I get some wind on my days off .thanks for watching 👀 😀

@savmf look forward to seeing you

@OCEANBOUND1 thanks top ripper

@ktwo-surf Thanks so much, Mr B. I would like to try to get some footage of you guys on fd one day . Good winds

@dotnout thanks so much. I really love foiling and really enjoy editing videos, so win-win . Have a great week 😀

@watercrazylion thanks for the tip I have a try 😀 good winds my friend

@GrahamSnowdon thanks.so much for watching and commenting. Good winds Graham

@youdigsurf the prone foil part is some other guys, but they're getting very good. Part of my organisation is starting to write down foils position and using the best foil for the speed of wave. I can go faster than wave easy on most foils . This time, I outran the wave and needed to go along it to stay in the power part instead of just running into the flat . It's all good learning 👌 Thanks for watching,

​@@christomo If the wave permit it going left and right but i've seen you doing it so it will be ok. Foil position dont tell me about it 😅

@spiritcatcher100 thanks top ripper

@glimpseireland2005 Yes, it was the key for me to generate more speed. I now feel like I'm starting to understand projecting forward, swinging arm helps but time on the water is key good luck

@gb2008bluefrog Thanks 😊 yes top place to live for sure with so many different option on our doorstep

@@SURFization thanks so much 🙏 he is a great guy , Top gun Mark 🔫

@downwind_drifter thanks so much, I'm always trying to learn a bit more 🙏

Great stuff Chris great edit and shots, and very useful input from the awesome Downwind Drifter. Loving both you guys videos. DD can’t wait to see your Race videos 👍🏻

@@andybarber7563 enjoyed editing this one roll on next session

@flyingfootage thanks for watching 👀 have a great week buddy it's ice and snow here

@flyingfootage thanks for the ongoing support 🙏

@Pumpfoiles No difference, the v1 and v2 front wings are the same, but the v3 frontwings are different Thanks for watching 👀

@stephens.9748 Yes, still kite when it's on shore and strong winds, but they are rarer conditions around here. I'm glad you like the foils. The stall speed is so low on them a session saver . I do like mine with a freestyle stab it livens them up, so if you can try it . Have a great week, mate

@OCEANBOUND1 Thanks, my man. You are so right, just time on the water and breaking it down and taking time to devote just to the single thing you want to learn . You tube has been great to get some great advice and encouragement from other creators like yourself , thanks good winds, to you and crew 😀 👍

@windaddict wings are all rubbish they all get destroyed in the waves eventually 😄 . Yes I need to spend some more time practicing the pump but this is what keeps it all interesting. Thanks for watching and commenting ❤️ good winds my friend

@watercrazylion curve to yipra 1200 easy if it's blowing 20 knots and the veloce xl v3 I have is 1150 cm2 and is even easier than the others low end not quite as good as the curve h xl . As always thanks for watching 👀 it's appreciated.

@watercrazylion just to add, I did not fall on it and was pumped to the correct pressure, but I pulled really hard on handels, and it folded backwards and ripped the seam so not worth repairing . Wing was 2 years old the brands really needed to use tape to reinforce the stress points imo . The gong plus, had a double layer of material where mine ripped from my deconstruction vid I did

Aha. My gong neutra 3m2 V1 folded backwards too once. Since then I put 8psi in and it never happens anymore.

@downwind_drifter I was hoping you would give me your breakdown, I can see the flatting as you say, but missing the glide down the rollercoaster, I will remove straps and give it a go , as always thanks my friend 😀

This is great point also make sure you put equal work through both legs. And for me advice which changed pumping was to think about moving forward with your hips on each pump (on your video you go down and back with hips on each pump) to focus on building forward momentum instead trying to keep lift. This is also realy connected to mentioned foot placement :D

@zb1ggnew thanks so much for the helpfull advice I will try to implement over next few months

@youdigsurf Yes, flymount is great, but I personally hate the extra weight on the wing, so I take it off after short sessions . Yes, I know it's not the vx but a slip of tongue, and just I had enough of editing this video . I did the video and had a computer crash lost 6 hours work, so I had to do it all again. Haha, these things happen . Thanks for watching Takoons 20% off not bad prices 👌

@@christomo damn the computer crash sux ! On premiere i activated auto save because i had issues too at least im not loosing the all the work.

@@youdigsurf I had 5 films in edit at once family holidays and so on haha cleared it all now . I have been enjoying your chanel , i have been watching on big TV looks great . 👍

@vim55k it depends on what foil and mast set up you have, but they are around the same as most brands. All the products have the weights in the gong website . Hope that helps some . Thanks for watching and commenting.

​@@christomoJust your setup. They have no weight info on the website, in fact it is impossible to find anywhere

@vim55k ah I did not notice they had not put weight on v3 Titanium fuse 690g Stab 290g Veloce xl 990g

​@@christomo thanks. And the mast? I know that it is V2, but they don't have info on it either

@@vim55k mine is 2600 g

@downwind_drifter it's a great solution as it is high enough on the calf that it's out the way, so I don't stand on it . Thanks so much for watching, and commenting means a lot. Have an awesome week dw in Fiji

@@christomo my main personal issue with this exact setup is that I don’t have calves 😅 The idea if redundancy rings as truth though and I’ll incorporate it some how… the first thing will be two stringy things. I enjoy your videos, very peaceful to me 🤙🤙

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoy them I love making them jeeps me busy on none water days .

@gb2008bluefrog thanks top ripper roll on our next on e

@MrJaennae if you're not crashing, you're not learning is my motto . I use an 86cm mast, so that helps a bit . BUT it's all just time on the water and learning your foils.The other day I put my new v3 veloce too far back in the foil box and ended up flying far too low to the water the whole session as it just felt wrong . My learning from that is I must write down mast box position for each foil so they feel the same each time I use them. So for yourself, try to find a sweet spot for your foil in the box write it down .Also try to ride very high on your mast. See how long you can hold it high. You will breach, but you will learn loads as well, keep practicing it will come soon enough. Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤️

@andybarber7563 looking forward to seeing me mate 👍

@OCEANBOUND1 hahah thanks so much 🙏 means a lot . What a time to be alive , and enjoy all these foil sessions with so many awesome individuals and 🔥 the Stoke in each other . Have an awesome week, Jeremy 😎

@Locosurfing thanks this was a magic day, roll on Friday tho more fun in the 🌞

@youdigsurf I just love it, my you tube marra. Yes, I can do a freefly 360 on a wave as it pushes you around. Just love the sport and love to watch all the marras and my UA-cam friends get better and share the Stoke. Have an awesome week, buddy

@johanasplund5292 hej, I hope you are well 👍 , Those videos are quite old now, and wings and foils have moved on in design. I now use a 5.5m as my big wing with a 1600cm foil. Some modern foils go early, say 12 knots So we need to rethink our options. I think pumping a 5 or 6m wing is more effective than the bigger sales of past . Hope this helps some. Hope that Finland is as stunning as when I was there 20 years ago

@@targadave yes need to explore some more moves it really opens up the skatepark of waves when you can turn anywhere you want. Thanks so much for watching

@walterbunso3675 thanks Walter I'll give that a go if I need too, thanks for a great tip .Have an awesome week, good winds, mate 👌

@grantmacdonald4838 I never used the old veloce H as I was always told the low end stall on v1 was not very slow so no good for me I our slower swell and my 95kg , so I rode curve h xl or xxl for 10 to 30kn and yipra for high winds 25 to 40kn . The new veloce is easy to ride a little more technical to get going but not as hard as yipra . So far, I have impressed full review in a few weeks. Thanks for commenting. Have a great week 😀

@@christomo I am the same weight and I find the Veloce H to not have much low end. This sounds like it's easier to use.

@grantmacdonald4838 I would say so, I find it as easy as the curve h mind I don't fall much now in waves . I wouldn't want to be learning tacks or gybes on it . It just takes a bit more energy to get on foil initially. The glide is much more overall, And it still turns well.

​@@christomo Hi Thanks for your videos. In the current Gong range, which foil would you advise to learn tacking and gybing ? The thing for me is that I already have these manoeuvres under my belt but kitefoilng, on a Chubanga v3 race foil and matching board. I'm thinking getting into parawinging, on a downwind board. So rather unusual profile I guess. What would be your idea on that ? Thanks in advance

@arnaud8423 for dw with a parawing for me @94kg a veloce v3 xxl or a curve h xxl might be lifty with enough glide and still be maneuverable, I fancy trying dw and using a paddle I'm looking a bit bigger at the hdw wings and curve h 4xl , however I'm not sure what to go for not seen much footage of dw on the veloce v3 hdw in dw 😄 Sorry can't help much more
