QUICK FEEDBACK/REVIEW ON THE FONE SEVEN SEAS 1000
What’s preferred fuse length?
Hi man. Love your reviews. Thanks for that. So , long question: I ride almost only North gear cause I´m from Chile and there are very few options over here. I wingfoil at an intermediate to advanced level but I´d love to get into downwind foiling. I pre-ordered a Horizon 115lts board and currently I have an sf1080 and a sf830 front wings. Would those be enough to get me into downwinding? or should I aim to another front wing? maibe the pump 1800? There is very little information and reviews about north gear. Maybe you could do a review over downwind gear by North. Thanks
Wonderful review. Thank you. I don't think this wing is for me (price, low end power) but it looks fantastic. Good to hear that it hits the racing brief so nicely.
Thanks mate. Yes, this is not a wing for everyone but for the racers and those wanting to go supersonic, it’s an amazing choice.
Thanks for a superb review? What's the main difference between mode pro and mode ultra? Have you tried both or just ultra? Seems that both wings are after similar needs. Can't figure out which is best for the flat water "need for speed" type of sessions. Thanks!
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I’ve tried both and they do have slightly different uses. The ultra is a bit more technical to use and is faster but it needs wind. The mode pro is more versatile and has a better low end. It’s still very fast but nothing on the ultra. If you’re looking at flat water speed the Ultra is the go.
What size would the 930 SF compare to in the Armstrong ha v2 range for similar pump, speed and turning? What are some of the main differences? The new high mid mast looks good too, thanks
The Armstrong HA880 is similar to the SF830 in terms of pump, speed range and ease of use. I’d say the SF830 turns better on a wave and when combined with the new North Ultra high modulus mast it’s unreal. It’s my most used foil right now.
I’d say the SF930 is similar to the HA980.
I’m having a hard time positioning the mast in my Cabrinha code board. I think that I need to move it forward because is harder to get on foil when compared to my brother’s 75lt board with a smaller front wing. Also it feels very unbalanced, feels like the front of the board wants to go down and then suddenly I go over foil .
This does sound like it needs to be moved forward. Bring it forward so that the centre of your back foot sits over the leading edge of the mast. That’s my preferred position.
Can you compare to North foils please 🙏 is this SF or ?
The North SF830 and SF680 are very similar in performance and feel to the HA880, 780 and 680. Both brands are produced excellent foils and I can’t decide which one I prefer.
Thanks, that's really helpful! Is it easiest to practice while going straight or when you're coming out of a jibe?
I think it’s better going straight to practice, it’s normally more controlled.
@@hydrofoilacademy thanks!
How do you determine right paddle size? Is there some guidance based on body weight / fitness level/ paddling experience? For example 77kg, average fitness, very little paddling experience? Am I looking at 90in or 105in? Or is 105in for the big guys?
I would say go with the smaller paddle. I went big after a few months and I found I couldn’t get the cadence/stroke rate with the big ones. I’ve gone back to a smaller one (think mine is 89).
Wow - so addictive that you stopped winging. I am totally addicted to winging but apparently there is an even more potent drug out there. I am stepping into this now and so grateful for all the good advice here. Steep learning curve - here I come again :-)
It’s really addictive but super hard to learn. I’m now at the stage where I go winging when the conditions are good. Basically I pick and choose and that’s the best combo I think. Good luck and stick with it!
good thing I found your video. I only use it for wingfoil. when there is less wind and I would have to have a bigger front wing. what to change to make the set with a smaller front wing work like with a bigger one. easier to lift. Greetings from Polan
If you shim the tail for more angle of incidence that will give more lift for the same size. The drawback will be it won’t be as efficient and it will be slower (more drag).
and if I put plates under the rear screws (positive angle), won't it make lifting easier in weaker winds? better option?? I measured the angles. the foil and the board are parallel and then the nose of the board clearly goes up. Thanks
In ne beninning, in de beninning, in the…
Thanks
@@hydrofoilacademy, i like your dialect, your pronunciation. In addition, my favourite surfboard company comes from Australia, love your surfing tradition. Thanks for the video, just starting with the wing foil. Come from Germany, wait until you hear me speak English😂
Great video! I actually tried the packdown already 3 times. 1st time: got sea sick during the packdown. 2nd time: it was way too windy, 30+ knots, smacking the wing with the paddle on to my barracuda, fighting oncoming steep bumps, almost impossible to jibe. 3rd time: everything went well, but found out that the extra 10 lbs on my back changes the balance, popup, pumping and turning in a big way. Of the 10 pounds, half of it is water, so I measured. So for sure I need a better way to pack down my wing. Your video might motivate me to try again with the packdown improvements.
Glad to her you are experimenting with it! It definitely adds weight and the paddle ups are harder as a result but with some more practice you will soon get very proficient at it!
Diagrams, more videos of actual riding would have been more useful for real beginners. Not deep enough on technique. Thanks for the video
Thanks for the comment
Great Video ! I still dont understand what is the difference between shimming and moving mast. If for example my nose wants to go down , why shim it positive and not move mast forward? Thank you in advance!
Shimming has an impact on lift and drag. Moving the mast does not. If you want to make the gear more efficient or slow it down and produce more lift, this is when you would shim. Most people shim negatively, to take drag away and make the foil faster. I would move the mast forward to compensate for the reduced front foot pressure in this case. Hope that helps.
@@hydrofoilacademy Thank you very much :)
that's a very very good looking wing
Completely agree Arthur! It looks great!
Did you have signal issues with the foil drive?
I did at the start but when I started packing the tracks properly and using the correct technique it was fine. I’m going a review of the new antenna system soon…
No match for the Ozone Fusion double surface wing.
I have to say, it feels very similar to the Fusion. I don’t think there is much in it to be honest…apart from the price tag!
@@hydrofoilacademy the main difference with the Fusion to single skin wings is its ability to glide fast through the lulls as it has less parasitic drag.
Really great review!
Thanks Dave, really appreciate that!
Hi thanks for your review, if we check wind range in in North website it seems that Ultra has a better lowend compared to the Mode pro, do you have different feeling? I have Mode pro 4.2 and 5.5. and I can confirm those ranges
My experience is that the mode pro has a better wind range than the Ultra. I think this is partly due to the fact that I’ve been using the Ultra with small foils to maximise the speed. Don’t get me wrong, the wind range is good with the Ultra but it’s shifted up towards winder conditions. Hope that helps.
Honestly. You are the best reviewer out there. Hands down. Nobody speaks that openly about the cons. And you have no problem stating what you don’t like in a very open manner despite, I assume, being a North dealer. You are the person I would buy gear from, because what I get from you it’s the pros and cons which will allow me to decide whether that is a suitable wing for my style. Thank you. Lots of respect for guys like you.
Hey @Stefano, thank you so much for the kind words. I really appreciate it. I want to be as open as possible with products. The reality is that they are not for everyone. Every product has pros and disadvantages but I’m always cognitive of the fact that someone has poured hours and hours of their time into designing and producing it. The last thing I want to do is disrespect that. It’s always a fine line, and I hope I got that right. Thanks again for your support and I’ll continue to do this type of review. 🤙
When you say - you preferred mainly 5.5, what were wind conditions /how many knots/. And for your weight, how many knots you think you'd need to feel comfortable with 4.8?
For the 5.5 I was comfortable in 20kts down to around 12-15kts. It’s worth noting that I was on a small (HA650) foil which didn’t help the low end. The 4.8 and the HA650 was a bit gutless in 12-15kts.
I’m 80kg and was on a 58l board with a 650cm foil. In 12-15kts the 4.8 was not quite enough to be comfortable.
Thanks for the thorough info.
Absolutely loving my Nova Pro. However the Mode Ultra looks amazing. Interesting to see if North will incorporate Shiftlock on any future wings or if it's a once off on the Nova Pro.
I'm with you on the Nova Pro, it's my favourite wing. The boom is such a game changer for me. It's hard to go back now.
mode pro 2025 will have Shiftlock
Good tips! 100 pc agree.
Glad you enjoyed! Thanks mate.
Nice review and info. Could you show how controller fits on and operates with a SUP paddle. I’m mostly in waves but really dreaming of DW.
Thanks mate. I think they have just released a video showing this. Check out their UA-cam channel, you will see it’s, very strait forward.
Question: I owned a Lift efoil with the folding prop with the intention of powering off and riding swell, but I never could get past the abrupt stance change needed just as you power-off the propeller. Does the foil drive feel smooth transitioning from powered to off?
There is a bit of getting used to but it’s not as significant as the eFoils. I hardly notice it anymore.
Great Review. 1) Do you feel the extra weight when carving 2) When you use it for dw do you use it also to go upwind first 3) How long does it take to put it on and off your foil ? 4) What is the maintenance needed? Thanks
Yes, you do feel some extra weight but with the max battery (the biggest one) it’s very well balanced. Takes a few sessions to get used to it. Yes, I do power upwind first then DW. This eats up battery power but it’s a really good way of doing it. Maintenance is very minimal to be honest. Just wash and dry after each use. I can now put in on from scratch in about 15mins. But when it’s left on the mast and already taped it’s a matter of minutes. The first time took me much longer than this.
Good vid. Curious how a Gen2 Max kit would fit to the bottom contour of board- specifically mounted further forward on tracks
The rear of the board is super flat so the Gen2 sits really flush
Hallo …… greetings from GERMANY… I Like your Movies … Great !,, My Question : is it a big Differenz by Downwind And flatwater Foiling .. Betwin 82 cm or 75 cm Mast …. Which Mast ist better for beginner Thanks for answer …… Friz
Hi Friz, Thanks for the kind words. A 75cm mast is easier to paddle up as there is less drag. But an 82 will be better in the pumps. So for Downwind, the 82 will be better but for flat water paddle ups, the 75. Hope that helps
Dis you hurt your collarbome doing watersports? 🥺😱
Yes, unfortunately I snapped my collarbone prone foiling in Byron Bay. I hit a sandbar in really shallow water and put my arm out to stop the fall.
Thank you for this video! I have a question for you: I kiteboard, surf, and wakeboard, but I've yet to wing, and my wife is a complete novice/beginner (no watersport experience). I'm trying to figure out a setup that will work for both of us to learn on. I know it's not ideal, but I'm trying to save some money. I'm 6'0 190lbs (86kg) and she is 5'4" 120lbs (55kg)... This is the setup I have in mind: Board 90L, Foil 72-75, Front wing 1850, wing 5.0... Conditions at our spot are deep water and wind 10-20 knots. Thank you in advance
I think that gear sounds great apart from the board. At 86kg I would recommend going much more than 90. I’d say between 120-100L would work better.
Can you now reveal which north frontwing did you refer to at @1:56?
They have a range of pump and downwind foils just about to be released. It was one of those. 🤙
My guess P1800 as you said it wasn’t great for DW
I love my Gen 1 and I do wish I had the readies to buy a gen 2
The Gen1 is still a great bit of kit!
Hi, just bought one to progress my DW journey. Arriving soon. Did you do your first sessions to learn with a paddle or just prone ?
I think learning with a paddle is easier as you are already on your feet. You can use the paddle for stability too.
Great video! I just purchased an HA980 for winging and I’m wondering which tail you think would pair nicely with that for winging swell and connecting bumps? I’ve only ridden it once so far and used the 235 flow. I’ve not tried any shims with it yet, but I was thinking of trying a blue one to get a little more glide. Before purchasing the HA980 I was using MA1225 (and MA1000 in higher winds). Thanks!
I think the 980 pairs really well with the speed 180 (no shim) for more stability and dart 140 (with a blue shim) for speed
Thanks!
Come to the retreat!!
This is something I’ve been talking about for ages! 100% going to do this, looks amazing.
Thanks for making this video. Funny, I have the same complaints about the f-one foil covers (no covers on the masts, and the foam rips on the stabs!). Appreciate you sharing your experience.
Glad it was helpful!
Yes! He's been converted, so impressive to see you downwinding Botany with broken collar bone.
Mate, I’m loving it. Can’t wait to do an ocean Downwind run with you!
Assist max or Assist slim. I cannot get my head around compromising a board designers efforts to maximise the hydrodynamic efficiency by then strapping a rectangular bulky box to the bottom of an efficient structure. I am riding an Assist plus on my KT Dragonfly installed behind my back foot. Still seems to me to be the better option, providing you are using bigger boards?
I guess there is so much power it gets through that drag, however, I do agree with you. I think the next Gen will have everything incorporated into the board (check out the Flitelab). I have the max and only use this with the biggest battery.
I use stoke. It's quick to install and you can freely choose the propeller position. It's half the price of FD. Why FD?
This is the first time I’ve used FD. I will be doing a Stoke V FoilDrive review very soon.
Did you have any connectivity issues with the Armstrong carbon fiber boards?
I’m going to do a full video on this very shortly. I did have some issues at the start, which was very frustrating, but that was due to not packing the tracks correctly. I bought some extra foam and after this no issues. FD is coming out with an extra solution soon. More to come on this soon.
Thank you for the update. Good review, very informative.
Surprising to see you using the Foil Drive after your glowing Stoke assist review video
Yes, I too found it surprising. He is talking like he is going with an assist for the very first time. Anyway I would be interested in a honest comparison between the two systems.
Yes, I’m going to do a direct comparison review as soon as I get my hands on another Stoke. Watch this space…
Yet here you are 9 months later and not even selling f-one brand items anymore?
Yes, unfortunately we parted ways with F-One. That doesn’t take away from the fact that the gear is still good and suitable for beginners
Thanks for the tips. I am 65kg and have been winging for 2 years I plan to start with Duotone DW air 105l and F one Seven Seas 1300. Is it a good setup to start with? Thanks
I think an inflatable DW board is ok for winging but to paddle up? I’m not sure. I think it will be really hard to get the surface released with just paddle power. In the early stages it will be great for balance and paddling skills but I fear you will get frustrated before long. Trust me, it’s hard enough without having the breaks on. SS1300 is good. 👍
@@hydrofoilacademy Thanks for your advice. Anyway I will try first 😂
How does it go compared to the armstong new ha's and the north sf for pump, glide, turning and stall speed? Cheers
Bothe the North and new Armie HAs are better for low end and pump. The seven seas as better glide and top speed.
this video was incredibly helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great tips 👍
Glad you like them!
Hi Gavin, as always your videos are a fantastic resource. Well done! I’d consider buying an Armstrong dw board but I’m using f-one foils. Just wondered what your thoughts were on their compatibility. Cheers
Hi Paul, thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated. I’ve not used F-one with the DWP but I have a friend who does and loves it. He uses the Eagle 990 for downing with the DWP board (108 x 8’11). Hope that helps.
I believe you said you tried the North DW front wings (and related stabs) Will you be doing a video review of those like you did with the SF? Or are you a bit tied up now with Armie goodies? Get better soon! & Thanks for all the great and valuable content!
Thanks for the kind words! Yes, I will definitely be doing a full review of the North DW gear. Frustratingly, my ones are still some time away but as soon as I have them I’ll do a review.
really good review.... thanks for making the effort. Was looking at the FD for Wingfoil assist in light winds, but this seems to be better value and still quality and reliability at a lower price and more simple and compact quick attachment.... 3 minutes assenbly is impressive..... i need more for the wetsuit
Glad it was helpful!
