    Amazing video and explanation. There is barely any content out there about wing downwinding, so thanks for this!

      @@windaddict thank you, and its my pleasure. Are you doing some downwinders currently?
      I have a lot of deflate videos where I wing up wind and then deflate… to then paddle up. It’s different, but the bump reading skills directly translate.
      Have a look through my tactical Downwinding playlist I think it’s called, there’s a lot of hard earned knowledge there to enjoy at your leisure 🤙🤙

      @@downwind_drifter Thanks, I will check it out. I tried some wing downwinding but I'm not very good at it. Paddle seems like a crazy effort to learn. Maybe at some point I will get an electric foil assist which should make learning easier.

      @@windaddict it takes a long time to get a read on the ocean… but it happens. Foil choice plays a massive role too.
      The first step into Sup Downwinding after winging is catching waves! I highly recommend sup foiling waves as it’s own activity, it allows foiling on windless days.

    What a great video, thanks for creating and sharing. I will practice riding bumps with flagged wing, learning and more feeling of the waves/bumps. Learning what my mistakes are when getting off foil, great practice). Greetings from The Netherlands.

      I’ve not been to musket cove, I’ve gone past a few times heading to cloud 9… I will go at some stage.
      We are further up in the Yasawas, far less crowded around here but also a long way from cloud break.
