Finally got mine and first session I used my 58 litre Wingboard. I could not get going at all. Not sinky enough and not floaty enough. Plus trying to hold the rope and controller. Grabbed my 32 litre prone board and so much easier. Straight standing sink start with a slow rise to the surface and then gas to get foiling. Boogie is everything it was promised to be.

My board is wider than yours. I can’t straddle the board like that.

I just did a Foil Drive Plus SUP foiling dw run with it and a 120R tail, 75 mast, and was impressed by it. Bit big for my weight (I'm 70 kg), can't wait to try the 680! Cheers.

thank you for sharing....what tail and fuselage do you recommend with the 1401?

I learned on a Indiana 1100P. Great low speed start ability for a reasonable price. For the technique: I learned the hard way. the key to recovering from a touchdown is to keep fxxxx pumping and waving your arms like a madman. 😂 The board WILL rise with commitment. Keep going and going. The hard work will pay off !

Thanks great perspectives

Mate, you're doing the absolute hardest method for dock starts.

Great idea, but: No prop guard? Its a blender. It will get driven through the line up and probably injure someone - this will equal ban on foiling.

I have property in Mexico with an empty point break just outside of town. Would it be possible to prone a regular surfboard out to the lineup, catch a wave and then summon the boogie to come and pick me up and tow me back out?

That is so sick!

my knees bleeding because of Fanatic board :) its like a sandpaper !

Can I do it with 125 liter fanatic board and foil ?

Sick!! Love it. 🤙

So what do I win for de"cypher"ing it? 🤞

Just saw one 1/3 the size of this at sunset Cali. He left it outside but got too close to surfers. I see the problems but I want one too. Looking for a better break.

Don’t go out in less than 15kts

Beautiful runs!!

How do you feel about the width on the 5'4 and 5'8 options? 19.5 seems on the wider side. I wouldn't use a FD or wing with it so I was thinking about asking for 18-18.5 width on a custom.

Thanks for the video! Can I ask you which paddle did you use?

in light winds I think about going sailing (on my wing foil gear) instead of foiling... its just a mindset shift that enables me to enjoy working skills; switching feet, riding toeside, taxi jibing... all part of the learning process

Great detailed info Dave! Totally agree on 20cm cable with 90cm mast👍! Also what you are saying about foil size 840cm and Board size I completely share. Go small😅.(took me a while though) I've tried the 20cm and 15cm cable with 90cm mast and found also that with the 15cm cable you can turn with much more inclination 👍, more narrow.(not on your level of course😂) My biggest worries before I got Foildrive Gen 2 had been that I could not carve narrow without touching with the pod. But it comes with finding the sweet spot as you say.💪 The 80cm +12cm cable sounds like my next wish for Christmas.😊 Like your videos! 🙏Stefan

How much does this set up cost?

Can good mentorship/lessons help speed up the progression?

I have to ask a stupid question where was the place that you left from I think I know (around Sandgate) but I could be horribly wrong. Then where did the ferry bring you back to?

Thanks for your video, and some feedback below, i am going to order the 4'7" 80L of Macro air (air flow) type board, i am not sure this is risky or tough ways for learning of wing foils since some sales are storing recommend me to use at least 100 L or above, as a new wing player, my mindset is this technique thing right, even i use the bigger boards for the while, still take time to adapt smaller board if i change over it, that is a reason i want to directly jump into smaller board, hope this is right choice. btw my weight is 60kg..

Sweet 🎉

sic run.. respect mate

Why not the 1300s?

Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Great stuff

Keep it rockin Dave...... luv your videos

Great stuff as usual Dave, I noticed your mast was right at the front of the tracks. Would you prefer to have the track box further up? I'm presuming your mast position wouldn't just be dependent on your code foil?

👍🍺🏄🏼

Great run! Any chance for a future video idea you might share how you set up your watch (Garmin?) for this or your upcoming Hawaii races?

legendary

Absolutely epic mate - well done. You guys have certainly got guts getting that for offshore without a support boat! Think that yoga thing at the start would be good for you to get into also!

Nice one, ive wanted to kitefoil across but shark fear got the better of me lol

Yeah! The DW adventure and comradery is real, from the banter in the van to setting off into the unknown. Our local crew is small, but starting to pull guys in and showing them the ropes gives me a kick too. It's more than just the foiling, as you said.

Awesome run fella's🤙🏾

That was epic and your 💯 on the money about the adventure ect.. 🙌

Great adventure Dave 👍🤙well done

Wow .... Extraordinary mission, Dave. A question for you: you used 1130s... but how would your ride have changed with 1075r? Less playful but perhaps less tiring?

Probably not filming M2M? Maybe not filming M2O? Hope you have drone follow, your vids are great. Nice adventure.

There were a lot of unknowns on that downwinder! That's what made it an adventure. It felt like I was a long for the ride. Aloha, Don

Wicked Dave! Speaking my language when it comes to keeping some adventure in your life to balance out being a Dad/Partner/Provider. Downwinding keeps me frothing through it all and that has to be good for everyone right

You are a gifted rider,, I am still learning on the fliteboard 100 with a 33 pound battery in flat water,,

I thoroughly enjoy the information conveyed. Concise and succinct. Good job Mr West.

That first track is great - who's it by?

Hi Dave, what stab fits the best for dock start?

This is fantastic, to david you're just a gaint in that suit
