Looks easy, I’m still struggling to get my board off the water surface. I have managed a few times but most times fail. Not sure if my mast needs to be moved forward more.
hmm, depending on your watersports/windsports background - have seen people up and foiling within minutes, whilst others took weeks/months - generally with the right gear, good instructors and most importantly enough wind, it is possible to learn pretty quickly - but these three things do not always work out! :-)
@@duotone.wingfoilinggreat video but I agree with others, this is a hard sport to master for many. I have several decades surfing but a lack of wind expertise means a steep learning curve. Also getting on foil can take a fair bit of time and winging upwind, tacking etc ain’t effective until you are consistently on foil. Be inspired by the video folks, just do some due diligence with other videos on the true learning experience
@duotone.wingfoiling 100% correct...its took me 1 week to ride and jibe both way..but I have 30 years of windsurfing and 5 years of kitefoil..so depend on your past history of wind/water sport
As an old windsurfer, it tooks me one week for the first flight and one more to have stablized flight. It was 2 years ago. But now I am still stuck on the jibe.
Way less stress for the back, the only issue can be shoulders, but this is really in rare cases, when holding the wing up in zero wind/if you have shoulder issues already which do not allow you to hold any kind of weight above chest height...
I currently windfoil with a 98cm carbon mast and 95cm fuselage. I have front wings 1200, 920, 720 and 550. For wingfoiling, I'm thinking a 65cm fuselage and either a 1600 or 2000 front wing on the existing mast and 310 or 255 stab. Thoughts?
do you have Duotone foils/mast etc? as the fuselage/front wing sizing sounds correct, for winging. I just am not sure if you are asking for advice on our products or in general?
@@duotone.wingfoiling just a general question but if you have some recommendations from the Duotone range, it would be appreciated. I'm hoping my wingfoiling learning curve will be short.
not cheap, so good idea to look for used beginner setups. typically want 2 size wings, say 4m and 6m, for different riding conditions. Maybe around $600-700 each. Same price range for a beginner board. Foils have the largest ranges in price with aluminum being heavier but cheaper than carbon. My coach recommended starting me on a cheaper alloy mast and a size 1480 front wing. All in I'm around $3500-4k plus wetsuit, helmet
since the screws are on the opposite side of the front wing, this is the best way to do it - otherwise you have to turn the foil on the side/upside down? :-)
correct, for winging we call it switch, bit different to surfing as you have the wing on one side of you only, vs a wave breaking on either side. Please check out our free Academy app for loads of tips on gybing and so much more.
@@duotone.wingfoiling Thanks, watching closely I seem to notice that the guys doing aeriels (sp) might have foot straps attached keeping connected to the board, so maybe never switch, just adjust their position or even "push" with the wing to windward
correct, some ride strapless, some ride only on one side using 2 footstraps with the front strap being more centred, even jumping in "switch". A large % of riders using the classic 3 strap system from windsurfing and change sides/straps when turning around.
We would love to do all the videos in all languages, but right now do not have the budget/manpower for it - sounds like a job for AI/pretty sure you can get it translated in an AI online tool already actually.
You can turn on subtitles in spanish! Just choose subtitles in the lower part of the youtube player! in the settings you can set the subtitles from english to spanish!
That is the coolest, neatest wing foil intro! Nice work Duotone!
Nice explications and visuals ! A lot to say in 10 min but u did it !!
Great quick start
what an evolution from windsurfing! 90% less hassle and bulk
what will be next?
indeed exciting to see so many different ways to enjoy the water, who knows what the future holds, never boring!
Looks easy, I’m still struggling to get my board off the water surface. I have managed a few times but most times fail. Not sure if my mast needs to be moved forward more.
try moving it forward yes, try to put more weight on your front foot, make sure you have a big enough front wing too.
@@duotone.wingfoiling thanks for the reply. I believe the front wing is good it is over 2000. I will try your suggestions
Also focus to keep your weight over the center of the board - don´t lean back towards the wind - this will give you more control when up in the air!
Olipas hyvä selkeä opetus. Mukavat hidastukset näyttää mitä tapahtuu milloinkin.
Their 15 minutes is actually one year in foil world reality. 😆

I’m still struggling after 13 months and 50+ sessions.
As far as stress on the back, is this easier or harder than windsurfing?

@duotone.wingfoiling where was this filmed please. Looks really good.
Hi there, that was in the Bahamas in January, great spot.
In reality it takes longer than 10 minutes to get winging, but any sport looks cool when there's a beautiful girl in a bikini.
Nice! Where is this?

Ok, Aero Free 1500 and 2000 would be similar to what you describe above, with a 3BS fuselage of 66cm, and a mast of 90cm, Aero Carbon.
Hello can you tell me how much it cost please thanks

I love her ...
Nice video, but which psycho mounts the tail wing to the fuselage before even mounting the mast or fuse 😂
since the screws are on the opposite side of the front wing, this is the best way to do it - otherwise you have to turn the foil on the side/upside down? :-)
This is way harder than presented. That girl couldn’t do it. 😂😂😂😂
Lots of women can wing! Just because you can't do it doesn't mean we can't, pal 😊
Super glad she tried
@@patinsleyMe too. No point in watching after 7:31
Когда нет свела для серфинга.
When you jibe from your natural foot position are you then riding "goofy foot" so to speak? Be nice to see a video on jibing actually

No interest in wing foiling, but I watched the first 5 minutes like 10 times
Das einzig unterhaltende ist dass Model…… ist aber nach 2 min auch ……..
@duotone can you xplain in spanish 😢
