HOW TO WINGFOIL - with Lous

- Опубліковано 6 кві 2020
- Thinking about learning how to wingfoil? Check out this video for some tips and why I like it so much. The unique thing about wingfoiling is that you can completely turn off the power of the wing and just surffoil the wave. I also love that I can do it at spots where I'm not allowed to kitesurf, when it's too gusty to kiteboard, or when the spot is too small to launch your kite.

Thank you, good information. 👍
Great video and tips.. Wing Foiling Definitely gives you more time on the water. Love your leash ideas as well. Enjoy your Board Meetings.
One of the best instructional videos I have seen (Out of 100s !). Thank you for taking the time. Such an amazing sport. Enjoy!
Steven Giss thanks, super stoked to hear that:) can’t wait to get back on the water to film some more!
am an old school surfer and one of the 1st kiteboarders on planet (along with one of first snowboarders as well.... to those of you who know, it was on a burton backhill, with a rubber band for backfoot and a rope attached to front of board). Anyway, enough credentials to me, my point in listing my experience is I wanted to tell you (Annelous) that you have done an excellent job describing on how to wing foil. Bravo! Compliments due for sure.
Sweet info, I need to try this.
Спасибо , очень интересно, пытаюсь разобраться.
lovely vid, thanks
Thanks for explanation. Very Good!
Awesome instructional video, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
Very easy to follow video. Well done!
Super helpful tutorial, thank you.
Thank you so much, I’m a windskate and windsurfer so this will be a great add on.
Awesome, you will love it :)
Great info and direction. I love foiling! Cant wait to try the wing!!
Thank you! I'm sure you'll like it!
Stumbled across your video and I love it, very simple and straight forward and well explain. I am a windsurfer turned kiteboarder and met a guy at the beach yesterday with one of these setups, we chatted and he kindly let me have a go - I didn’t managed to get the board foiling but had no trouble starting of on my knees, standing up, gibing/turning around then heading back towards him and going upwind. I’m very tempted to get involved with the sport for the reasons you outlined at the beginning of this video and I will definitely be subscribing and following your adventures.
That’s awesome to hear! Go for it, you’ll love it and it’s a great addition to windsurfing, for when the conditions aren’t that great.
A really fantastic video. Thanks so much!
Thanks for the waterstart part. Very helpful for a small board
That’s awesome:)
Your words helped me a lot . Thanks so much
You have convinced me to get one of these! Was on the fence but now I know 100% . Thanks!
Jonah Eyking that’s awesome!! Go for it:)
Thank you for the informative lesson, can't wait to try out what I have learnt
Wayne Roberts thanks, looking forward to hearing how your first session went!
Excellent job on this video. Thank you!
Aloha from Maui! 🌺 Thank you so much for the video tutorials!
SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you!
Excellent, well presented video. I'm sold!
Awesome!
Awesome video and instructions thanks
I want to get into this sport
This was great, thank you!
I liked your turn transitions, especially tacking and just switching over head. I've seen many but the camera angle helped me fully understand and now I just need some wind to go see how well I can execute a tack. I just learned and did 5 successful jibe turns last session as well as riding toeside. Before I'd just ride switch and try changing my feet before the jibe. Never really had much success. Also in my low wind 7-9 mph with 17-21mph gusts I'm using a Gong 9m Superpower wing. Last session with 9-10mph I finally tried my new Duotone Echo 7m and that's when I had success with jibes. So much lighter than the 9m and I liked the boom instead of 6 handles.
Thank you for this video your step by step instructions are awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Congrats, one of the best videos I have seen
Very helpful!
Perfect video - thank you Annelous
Chris Middleton thanks!
Me encantó el video y ahora a por el Wing-foil...Creo que en Menorca las condiciones son excelentes para aprender. Ya estoy deseando probarlo!!!!
Nice one Annelous! It’s a fun sport indeed :)
Masterclass
Good video. Thanks for yours advices
Happy you like it!
100x👍😉thanks jutro jadę na foila !!! 😁
Very good information and concise. You make it look too easy.
Great stuff!
Thanks! :)
Good Job explaining
Great tutorial. Thank you.
Happy you like it!
Thanks for the video. It made me more confident that buying a smaller step down board was the right decision. Although it might be a bit harder to get used to it in the first sessions.
That's great to hear! :)
Thanks a lot Lous. Super tips. Ga ik snel uitproberen!
Hi Onno, top! Enjoy en zie je misschien op het water
Appreciate your discussing how you waterstart in this video! Just picked up a second hand Crosswind (to try and foil on my LF Happy Foil Board 4’9 with Cloud IX Impulse wings). Wish me luck!! 😬
Have fun, let me know how it went! You can always send me a video if you need some tips.
Excellent video - thank you. I have just started to kitefoil on a Cabrinha x-breed 5’8” and would like to get into wing foiling. As you said there are some areas where kitesurfing is prohibited on some beaches so it makes sense to wing it.
Michael Villis that’s awesome, kite foiling is a great way to get into foiling and then the switch to wing foiling will be really easy because you understand how the foil works. Here with East wind I can now go at the inside like with the windsurfers which is really fun, more time on the water doing what we love!
Great video! Thanks very much. You need to come to Mauritius where it's much warmer :)
Just got my First Wing Naish 5.3 went out on the SUP and it was super fun. I am an ex windsurfer, got sick of all the equipment. Going for my first Foil next week can't wait. Thank you for all the Instructions. Stay warm... Looks really cold where you live.
Peter Scance that’s awesome! Enjoy the next wing sessions, so many things to learn and cruising in the waves is a lot of fun. Luckily it’s a lot warmer these days here:) stay stoked!
Really like Your work!!!
Very helpful!!!
Still fighting fo get on the foil rather than taxi.
About 3 sessions still really hard
But i hope maybe i just need stronger wind!!!!🤙
great tutorial, well done!
blueplanetsurf thanks a lot!
Merci Lous, seducing video that decided me buying a wing and it helped me for my first session : I could get up but not fly because too many waves. Next session I hope to be abble to pump enough...
Hi Ivan, that’s awesome! It’s definitely a lot easier to learn to wing on flat water! Let me know how your next sessions goes and send me a video if you want some tips
Fabulous
Great video, you inspired me to try this. Time for something new.
Thank you! You should def give it a try:)
I sailed on 420s and Viking 28s when I was younger, switching to snowboarding mostly but iv missed a lot of riding because of injuries... this looks like it's going fill the gap in my life which has been there since leaving the mountains... and it's not as expensive as a sailboat 👌
John Leitch yes, you should give it a try! I’m sure you’ll love it:)
Awesome instructional video ! Windsurfing/wavesailing was my passion for 25 years, but then got into mountain biking.....This wingfoiling, could get me back on the water :-) I suppose a harness isn't practical, but don't your arms fatigue ?
That was fantastic! Great tips. We need to get you a wireless lapel mike.
Simple, but stand front foot first helped me a lot personally.
I have a 4M Ozone Wasp and a Slingshot Dialer.
William Lile thanks a lot! I actually bought one after finishing editing the video:) didn’t realize it until I came home and right after filming this video we were advised to stay home. I figured that this was the easiest way to stand up because I was struggling with the switch water start on the small board in the beginning. Stay stoked!
I agree..sweet video, straight forward and more action vs talking on the beach as others do, really helps to understand the sport. I applaud you for going out in such cold weather, at least you have the whole ocean to yourself. Post a progression video some day ;)
Thanks a lot!! :) Good idea, I will post a progression video next year
Hi from Sweden! Just added a extra keel to my SUP so going to start with a Gong wing first then a foil later.
Great idea Gary! You'll love it :)
Wow! Thank you so much! I just discovered this sport! I really love kites and when I saw this, I was like wow. It’s like a kite but flying (surfing) with it! I have a lot things in my life right now so I’ll go winging later on. How much was your board and wing together? Much Mahalos again, I became your 667 supporter! WoopWOOP stay safe and have a Blessed Day!
So true! It’s really unique that you can completely switch off the power and just surf the waves. There are some good deals on second hand gear, so if you look around you can find something that fits your budget:)
Awesome! We started wingsurfing in Sankt-Petersburg. Feel free to join us and leave a comment.
That's awesome, I will join you for a session when I'm around :)
Excellent video. Very direct style you have - to the point and no wasted time. This looks like fun
"If it ain't Dutch, it ain't much!"
nice video thanks :D
I am so jealous of the flat water in this video! I am new to water sports trying to learn wing foil as my first one. It's hard to find such flat water where I am from. A lot of kiters and windsurfers scratch their heads watching me fall over and over again. But I'm still having fun.
John Boyd it’s definitely not easy to learn it in the waves, but you keep going, it will take a bit longer but you’ll get it:)
I enjoyed this, a lot of great tips explained very well.
clayisland thanks! Happy you like it:)
I'm watching this video again and I get something new every time. I'm new into the sport having been just a paddle border. I love your idea of renting stuff but unless you live in a surf town there are no shops and I had to buy all my equipment online. But now I wonder will this wing make surfing so accessible that we might see surf style shops begin to spring up with wings and paddle boards and foils in places like the great lakes? I hope so because that's where I live.
Hi Jonathan, yes for sure, I understand. Here we have a lot of surfshops everywhere and it's easy to get your hands on rental gear and even test gear from the latest collections. But I think there will be more and more shops opening at places which are popular for paddle boarding, since it is so accesible for everyone. It's also really fun to just use the wing on a SUP board without foil!
Mooi!
Inspiring to see that it works with a board as small as 33L. I tried it two times with borrowed material and got flying thanks to kitefoil skills, and man it was fun but the 100L sup foil did feel big when flying. I still want a surf sup / foil sup hybrid just for wave riding plus winging, but now I see a foilsurf board is a nice upgrade for winging. Would be nice if both boards work with one foil setup, maybe with multiple Frontwings for different conditions. But I guess I first gotta save money a year or so to afford all of this.
Hi Rocco, that’s awesome you got it so quickly! A hybrid set-up is the best, I’m using set-up for surf foiling and winging, and you can definitely do something similar with a SUP foil. You can have a hydrofoil that works with a SUP and surf foil board, and then use the SUP in lighter wind. A shorter SUP will also give you some more performance than a really big wide one. What is funny is that now I’m used to a small board the bigger board actually got harder for me, I taught a lesson the other day and was struggling because I miss the direct feeling of the small board.
How nice to see a woman wing foiling! Great tutorial!
Wow looks so fun and easy. Less equipment than kiting or windsurfing. Also, looks very safe except maybe the sharp hydrofoil wing. One day I will try this.
trexinvert yes true, and it feels really free on the water! It is very safe, when there is a big gust you can simply let go and you’re not attached like in kiteboarding. These foils are big and not that sharp but the most important is a slow progression and first master the basics before learning things like jibes. If you take it slow you won’t get hurt, I still never fell on the foil:)
Hey, doesn't you hands/wrist/arm get tired? Perhaps some kind of harness device might be used in the near future? Keep on.
Haha good question. In the beginning my under arms were getting tired because I’m not using them so much with kiteboarding but now I can ride for 3 hours without getting tired. I personally would never want to put a harness, I love the freedom of movement without. I know there is people that have put some kind of harness line on the wing, but the way I’m riding it’s not necessary. I just do 1 or 2 racks upwind, catch a wave all the way to the beach and go back upwind. So for that I’m switching all the time to using my arms to using my legs for pumping :) it’s an amazing ‘workout’ at the same time
It sounds like on a foil board you don't need constant power. Like skateboarding on a street. You kick to get going and then you just "cruise" for a little bit. Also, during board pumping the wing sail action looks like it is "both" push/pull. When you pull on the sail, you can lift your body up to help board rise up. Then during the board diving stroke you can push against the wing sail to make your body go down. That's my guess. Also, if you feel like falling you can quickly position the wing sail over your head(apex) and lift yourself straight up. You can't easily do that with a kite.
trexinvert yes exactly!
Thanks for the vid, I've got a 12" sup (non foil) I was hoping to learn to use the wing on, will it be hard to stay upwind on a sup with a small fin?
MrWhitianga In light wind it shouldn’t be a problem and I hear a friend talk about some kind of strap with an extra fin that you can put around every SUP so it’s easier to go upwind
I'd recommend taking a weight bag with you, rather than tethering your board to the wing. I've seen a few shredded wings and smashed up foils due to things going wrong.
Great idea!
Great video, thank you for that. I know wings come in different sizes depending on wind speed but how much does one's weight factor into it? I am about 68 kgs. Would a 5m wing be too much to handle?
Thank you! How is the wind at your homespot most of the time? A 5m will not be too much to handle, I'm 60kg and using a 5m a lot. But it does also depend on the wind you get, if that is between 15-25 knots a 5m will be a good choice. You might be a big powered in the high end but being powered helps a lot with the learning curve.
really cool sport and great instruction video, thank you !
What is your neopren jacket ? I'm looking for something like that for winter session on flat water. Cheers
Thank you, it’s a Brunotti neo sweat, still easy to move but really warm. It makes a massive difference on the really cold days and protects against the wind chill.
@@AnnelousLammerts Thanks!
Another hobby coming up🤦♂️. This looks fun!
Enig idee of een beginner setje een dag te huren is ergens?
@@timvandennoort5441 Hahah I know! Ik blijf er ook altijd maar hobbies bij krijgen;). Ja sowieso, waar kom je vandaan? Hier in Zeeland/Brouwersdam zijn wel scholen die materiaal verhuren.
My thoughts exactly! I have so many hobbies/interests and this has just been added. Cheers
Nice instructional video! Been wakeskating with a 3.5m wing. Wondering if I can do wing foiling. Please advise.
Yes for sure! You will need a bit more wind with a 3.5m but I have a 3m now as well wing and it's my favorite size :)
Hey Lous, top video hoor. Ik heb 20jaar gekite met een twin tip en recent mijn materiaal verkocht en ik twijfelde om een echt wing foil board te kopen maar door jouw video heb ik besloten om een surffoil board te kopen van een 40-50 liter volume en daarbij een wing. Zo kan je, naar ik begrepen heb nog met heel weinig wing met een kite uit de voeten toch?
Anyway. Super video en gezien dat het ook met een surffoil board kan! Top!
Hey Wim, wat gaaf! Ik denk dat je het wingen heel leuk gaat vinden :). De low end hangt heel erg af van je materiaal. Ik kan zelf vanaf 15/16 knopen wat voor mijn perfect is want met minder wind staat er geen windswell en als er golven staan ga ik lekker surfen of surffoilen. Als je voor een light wind set up gaat verlies je ook best wat performance. Een kleinere foil draait veel makkelijker in de golven en is een stuk speelser en sneller. Ik vaar zelf op een foil van rond de 1330 cm2 (cabrinha Varial medium) en 33L (autopilot). Ik denk dat 40/50 liter echt top is voor je, hier op mijn homespot vaart ook iedereen boardjes met ong zo veel liter. Laat maar weten hoe je eerste sessies zijn gegaan!
Annelous Lammerts Hey Lous, ondertussen heb ik me een Gong Zuma aangeschaft (besteld is een beter woord) en een Naish Wing2020.
De Zuma is 6’0 dus een 179cm lengte en het volume is zonder meer hoog, met name 95liter.
De Naish wing is geen verloren geld en het zuma board. Goh, het staat gekend als progressief beginnersboardje maar ik wil er ook mee gaan supfoilen met paddle dus moest ik wat volume hebben daar ik zelf een 77kg weeg.
Het kiten zeg ik vaarwel in de Belgisch Nederlandse wateren maar op vakantie zal ik het nog wel doen. Zelf zit ik vaak in Zeeland op de Brouwersdam maar, zoals je zegt kan je met de wing wel op het binnenwater uit de voeten.
Nu heb ik je filmpje ook gezien waar je aan het kitefoilen bent met het double agent boardje en jouw kunde is wel een paar trede hoger dan mijn skills hoor. ;)
Niettemin is het Zuma board geen verloren kost daar mijn 2 puberende kids er ook wat aan kunnen hebben.
In eerste instantie wou ik een vergelijkbaar boardje kopen als jouw autopilot surfoil van Gong maar ze raden het me af.
De foil die ik heb gekocht heeft een wingspan van 80cm en een projected arena van 1643cm.
Als ik me meer op het wingfoilen zou toeleggen dan komt er misschien nog een kleiner board bij. Beginnen bij het begin en het leuke is dat je met dit board ook makkelijk kan supfoilen.
Nogmaals dank voor je reactie! Grtz
Really inspiring, thanks! Do you know anywhere it is possible to rent decent equipment. I would like to on rented or borrowed so I do not buy a too big board! I am 75 kg, what would you recommend? :)
Ulf Karlsson if you first rent a board go for something around 130L and see how fast you progress :)
Heja Annelous - tx for the hints. Where exactly do you start at the brouwersdam? At the Kite or the Windsurf (where the campers are parking) "beach"?
There actually is a Foil spot on the most northern part of the Brouwersdam beach. It’s the only place where the water is deep straight with all tides. There are bouys showing where to enter and exit the spot, but when it’s this cold there is no one on the beach so it doesn’t matter where you enter and exit!
@@AnnelousLammerts Great - tx so much. May the foil be with you :-).
Hi Lous. Great video. What wind strength do they work in? I am big (95kgs) what would be a sensible minimum for me? I know you said windier to learn but looking for something i can do when it's 12 ~ 14 kts
Hi Jeff, good question! If you’re looking to do it in very light wind you need to get a board with a lot of volume and a very big hydrofoil. That makes the biggest difference in the low-end. My set up is a surf foil set up, but if you’re looking to do it in light wind you need to look at getting a SUP foil set up. So a board with more liters than your body weight and a foil probably around 1800 cm2. Let me know if you have more questions.
@@AnnelousLammerts Thanks. I already have a sup foil board 120l and xxl and xl front wing. Is that ok? I was thinking a 6m wing for my weight. Ok to start with that or would you recommend smaller? I have many years windsurf experience but haven't mastered foiling yet in waves. Had a few sessions but need more
Is it essential to be able to pump the board?
I’ve got one fixed knee (does not bend at all) but would love to give wingfoiling a try.
(I am able to windsurf and windfoil.)
Awesome that you want to give wingfoiling a try even though you have a fixed knee! You don't need to be able to pump the board if you have enough power in the wing and the right gear (a foil with enough surface area and a board with enough volume). If you are able to windsurf and windfoil you will probably progress quickly! Have fun and let me know how it went :)
Hoi! Thanks voor de video. Ik ben zeker van plan om het wingfoilen te proberen. Heb je enig idee of er locaties/shops zijn in Zuid Holland die deze spullen verhuren? Ik ben niet op zoek naar lessen maar puur naar uitproberen van boards/wings.
Marinus2210 op de Brouwersdam bij Natural High en vast ook bij bijv Eurofun. Ik denk dat je bij de grote shops en scholen materiaal kan huren :)
Annelous Lammerts Thanks!!
I would like to start this amazing sport I just bought a paddleboard 10 foot can I use the wind-foil kit with it?
zoro kou yes it can work with a paddle board as well!
Annelous Lammerts wow that’s excellent, I can’t wait for the weather to get better in London🤞 so I can use it. Thanks
Hi there
I want to start wing surfing and would like some advice on the foil to use.. I want to go on the north sea and have wind and kitesurf experience. With my wetsuit on I would weigh around 100 kg though... ;-)
So would a hi rise varial size L be big enough for me?
And what about the mast length? What would be recommended?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Hi Ron, That's awesome! The Varial large is perfect. Do you already have some foiling experience in kiteboarding or windsurfing? The 60cm mast is perfect for learning and it also makes it easier to get going when it's shallow compared to a 85cm mast. When you go out in the North Sea there might be some sand bars to cross with low tide, there a shorter mast will be useful too. The longer mast will only be better when there is big swell, which aren't the conditions you will go out in in the beginning!
How much more warmth does the neoprene hoodie add? I just bought wingfoiling gear and looking forward to testing it (though reluctant because of the cold!) I'm inspired by the fact that you're out there in the cold!
LEONCJ it helps a lot for the wind chill, more than I expected. I didn’t take it one session and got a bit cold during that session. With the jacket on I’m always super warm, no problem to ride the whole winter here in the Netherlands:) a big difference with such good neoprene wetsuit and accessories compared to when I started 10 years ago
@@AnnelousLammerts Thanks for your insight. I'm subscribed to you, and I look forward to more wingfoiling videos. Cheers from Washington, DC!
LEONCJ cheers! Take care:)
I prefer a Palm Up grip (like a Windsurfer) with my front hand. Have you tried it?
IRWE905 yes I tried it, I understand why you like it, I think you have a bit more strength like that but I prefer the regular one, it feels more natural to me. I’ve also never windsurfed before! Both work good:)
Nice video, and it looks so easy ;) Is it advisable to first learn to kitefoil (if you are a kiter)?
Bas Peterse it is way easier than a lot of people think, especially with the right gear. It is not necessary to first learn how to kite foil. With wingfoiling we use bigger foils which are more stable and actually make it easier than kitefoiling
@@AnnelousLammerts Thanks! Now I sure want to try it :) Have a nice weekend!
Dank je wel! Video is well done. Gefeliciteerd! We usually go to Wijk aan Zee near Beverwijk. That's our hometown. Now we're in NY and Lake Ontario will be my water. I am going to be getting a new kit, and I think I want windows in the wing. I do not have a shop nearby, so I think I'll need to buy a board. I've been told that around 6 feet and 120 liters (I'm 87kg.). I'm also thinking high aspect foil, like 2400 or so. Any thoughts on equipment for beginners? I am an experienced paddle boarder though.
That's awesome, at Cabrinha.com we have the X-Fly which is a great board to learn how to wing on but at the same time really progressive. It's also a SUP foil board at the same time so you can use it for both sports. If you have a high aspect wing you don't actually need such a big surface. So you can easily try a bit smaller front wing. For our new Mantis wing you can choose the wing with the windows, that's better for on lakes. I mostly ride the ocean and I don't need the windows :)
@@AnnelousLammerts yes - windows are a very good idea. Bedankt!
Great video, thank you. I have a question. How do you manage forearm fatique in cold weather. My arms get so tired after like 20 min., so i have to stop. What gloves woukd you recommend? I saw you wearing no gloves!? Overall any tricks how to avoid forearm fatique? Thank you
Hi Martin, that’s a good question. It’s definitely a tricky one for me as well. If you look closely you see I’m wearing neoprene open palm mittens. They protect your hands against the wind chill and you can choose to put your hands completely in, or just have them cover them a bit. On the coldest days I wear 3mm neoprene gloves with pre formed fingers, and I take regular brakes sitting in the board to rest the forearms. You get more used to it, but almost all winter I still ride with the open palm mittens. They’re just not ideal in a case of having to swim back, which is important to keep in mind for safety reasons!
Thank you for your advice. Appreciate it. @@AnnelousLammerts
I'd never even heard of wing boarding until today! Is 60 a bit old to start?
Never too old! If you are still active and with the right gear it shouldn’t be too difficult:) especially on a board with a lot of volume
Hi Annelous, leuke video. Weet je een goede shop waar je een set kunt kopen?
Thanks Bas! Ben je nog op zoek naar een set?
Good video. Thank you. Looking for words of wisdom on possibly a wing foil. I'm a long time "decades" long boarder to give real I idea what use/enjoy i have/had since 1993 a equipe xr2 an a phantom 377 since 2015 that like 377 better with it's advantages. Use 8.5 ezzy lions on both for decades with my local given conditions of 10-20 knots when I can sail June to September. I'm getting old 58 having a harder time transporting dealing with all on water with age becoming a issue. I'm 5.7 tall 170 lb like being able to hook into my harness enjoy the ride 10-20 knots. I'm looking for a long board alternative to keep me smiling on the water for many more years that I can transport an physically be able to enjoy. Wings to me seem like they would be physically demanding in comparison to be able to hook in the harness in comparison to longboarding in similar weather. Please give words of wisdom wing.. or...👍👎
Hi Joe! You sound really passionate! So if I understand correctly you've been mainly windsurfing right? Wingfoiling is definitely a lot less physically demanding than windsurfing when the conditions are easy. On flat water with the right gear for the wind you get going really fast. In big waves and with a lot of current it can be a bit heavier, but that's the same as with windsurfing. A friend of me is about the same age and is only wingfoiling right now, and doing 3h sessions!! I would say, go for it!! You'll love it!
What wind speeds are u needing for ur 30l board and 4m wing? Thanks videos are great
Hi David, thank you! With this set up around 16knots, right now I have the new Autopilot (4'10 x 40L) and I can get going in around 10/12 knots with the 5m wing.
@@AnnelousLammerts great thank you what size wings are you using and do u have any links to them thanks
@@davidallan6627 I just changed my wing for the new X2 from Cabrinha, it's a double strut wing with an incredible low end. I'm now riding the 3m and 5m which covers pretty much every wind strengt. www.cabrinha.com/products/00-00-crosswing-x2
This is a total nubie question, but do you always have to keep the leading edge upwind? I kept thinking that I would always point the leading edge in the direction I wanted to go. When going upwind this tended to work. But when I was trying to go downwind the wing kept wanting to flip into the ground. Could you do a video on how the wing should be with respect to going upwind vs downwind?
Yes good question, I will try to film it when the lockdown has finished. I understand what you mean when you go down wind and the wind flips touches the ground. You can go pretty straight downwind but then you have to really keep your front arm high (closest to the LE) and long and your back arm short and in front of you with the middle strut just above the water.
@@AnnelousLammerts jullie mogen in NL toch het water op? omdat je zegt 'na de lockdown'?
En mag je daar aan de brouwersdam aan de binnenkant (waar het brunotti windsurf zaakje is) met de wing foilen?
What is the advantage of a small board with foiling? Looks like hard work & less safety with a tiny board but what do you gain?
A small board is very reactive. Cabrinha has now launched small boards with a lot of volume, for example the macro, 5’0 so shorter but 78L. Which gives you the advantage of volume for an easy start and a better low end but at the same time a very maneuverable board and light feeling. I now use a 4’10 autopilot with 40L which is perfect for me, I’m 60kg and don’t need more volume than that, and I can use the autopilot for kite foil and surf foil too.
@@AnnelousLammerts Thanks, that explains it!
Very nice video. Do u need straps on the board?
Jason Mann thanks, no you don’t need straps but there are wingboards that have them and it can make it easier!
Annelous Lammerts ThAnks for the info, I will have to give it a go! ✊️
In two weeks i will try Wingsurfing. At first i will try it with a SUP. How long will it take, to change to a foilboard normally? I have just a bit surfingexperience
Rikke Bauer it depends, if you have a good foil set up, a big foil and board with a large volume you could go once you feel comfortable handling the wing. That can take an hour or even less!
@@AnnelousLammerts thanks, i do my best 🙂
thx a lot cool video, what is that jacket you are wearing over your wetsuit? thx
Hi Pierre, thanks, it’s a Neo Hooded sweat, helps a lot to stay warm against the wind chill. Dutch winters get pretty cold!
@@AnnelousLammerts cool merci! which brnd is it? Mystic? it will be very cold where i am too :)
Pierre G it’s Brunotti!
@@AnnelousLammerts dank je
!
My first sessions went really bad... For the first 2 sessions the wind was too light and i damaged my foil by using wrong screw..
The 2 sessions after where in too strong wind and it ended up with a hole in my wing because of the foil :(
You are awesome! Fuck yeah! Was cool video! Do more wing surf videos! U don't use straps on board
Waar kan ik dit eens proberen? wil graag een set kopen maar zoals ze zegt denk ik dat ik rap een 120L plank beu zal zijn. maar 90L lijkt mij wat te moeilijk om mee te starten. Mvg
Hey Joran, waar kom je vandaan?
How much volume does that board have?
33L ;)
@@mbkiteboarding Yes exactly :) I really like that I can use my surf foil board so I didn't need to get another board
Welke kleding draag jij hier in de video tijdens het wing foilen ?
Hi Karin, ik draag een warm wetsuit met hood, neoprene schoentjes en handschoenen en een neo sweater.
Great tips for begginer. But do not go low volume to fast o r at the beginning. Balance on a short board needs skills
antoine78150 yes for sure! Important to see what fits with your level. If you have a lot of experience it would be a waste to invest in a big SUP but if you don’t have much experience surfing and other boardsports a bigger board will be great and fun for a long time
@@AnnelousLammerts thanks for the video, short, sweet and concise. What is a low volume board for 65kg? I currently have a 7' foil board 120l but I wonder to what smaller volume that should go for once I am good enough? Also did you have a transition board between 90l and 35l or you just went straight to 35l?
Peter-Minh Vu Peter-Minh Vu I’m around 60kg with all the neoprene and this is a 33L board. I had 2 sessions on a 90L board and then stepped down to this one, simply because I already had it for surf foiling. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do it but it ended up being pretty easy when there is enough wind. It does help that I surf a bit and am used to balancing on the board. I could go smaller but I’ll lose a lot of low end. So I would definitely recommend to try out some set ups if you have the chance. I love how playful a small board is, not comparable to a big SUP especially if you’re planing to go do it in waves/swell.
