Can you talk Michelle into creating a video for setting up and tuning a foil board for speed? … what does he set first - foot straps ? then mast base ? What does he look for on the water to tell him what to adjust - even pressure between front and back foot or more front foot pressure? etc. also any tips on sail position (for and aft and to wind ward)for best speeds. Also Harness line length and body position - how much weight on hands on the boom etc Any and all ideas and theory welcome!
Great video, thank you both! Question: Why you don't use the 175 Backwing instead of 195 for bigger FW, like the 650/750? The 175 is never a topic in BW discussions - why? For whom and which use is it compared to 195?
Hi I really like your video I m looking for the settings in detail of the Neil pryde foil EVO sails downhaul because on pwa slalom video i see the top of the sails flapping and at the same time the sails looks like a ballon from the 4 to the last batten I don’t succeed to have such a setting A video would be great I m also using the Z foil and the speed really change with the sail settings and the rake and also the stab schrimbing I would like to get more input from the pro. Also taking into consideration we are very few to practice it s difficult to correct our error when we stay stuck at 30 knots and willing to go above. Thanks 🙏
Supernice video as usual!! Still 2 questions.. 1: Why does Michele use the back footstraps like that? I have seen more pros that do that. 2: still no video on the custom ff black speedfoil board.. is it for sale??
Thank you guys! The boom thing is a very interesting one. I'm very interested in figuring if in Patrik boom range there's a large tail end width difference between the 200 and the 210 models. and why Michele's choice is the 200. Also, it would be cool some explaination about the best choice in relation to the conditions/foiler weight. Is it possible/correct to use the very large tail end (210 one) with the 8,5 if you're just avg 80 kg? thx
Patrick and AirInside Boards make sense. Not necessarily for the Wind Shops whose aim is to sell MORE..... I still have speedboards made to measure 25 years later (AirInside) that are light stiff and fast as anything else out there. Same with Old AHD Formula NT98 and AirInside slalom boards. Not very many of them around though. If these boards get damaged, they are easily repairable once they dry out ! Unlike foam inside, they do not take on water.
I think it is not really possible to compare the Patrik wing sizes to the Loke r F4 because they belong to different generations. Loke 2022 (the one used by Michele to win the German Cup -if i'm right-) are "thick" wings but still pretty H/A vs the new current ones and they can also be downsized a bit (meaning it's possible to use the 590 when you now use the Patrik 550) for given wind (I remember his video in which he was surprised to use the 400/6,9 combi to spritz the SV guy...). Only 2 years ago (I think), stuff was not as efficient as it is now and people had not yet figured it out. Off course new foils (coming from all those experiences) are better built, better optimized, and so on...
Nice video, but the interviewer is talking to much about what he does himeself. Seems like he is eager to lift himself and take up space with nonsense.

Another great video. Great relaxing vibe. Nice to hear some tips from the pro.
thanks!
Yes please, i would love to order the safety hook! It is difficult to get it from the original creator…..

What mast rake angle does Michelle use with his current set up and what shim achieves this?
Where can you buy this detachable outhaul pulley? At Mario's shop?

So which mast base should I not buy?
The term for the different wing area methods are 'flat' or 'projected' in paragliding, so I guess the same terminology should apply.
the fusealge of the foil is it titanium or aluminium??
titanium
Would buy an aeon if i d had the budget 😢

Michele and I are friends since many years, the goal here is not to be clean and professional... 😊
@@WindLoungeEN He did not ask for advice but I gave it anyways😆
I guess the goal is to make most people watch and find it interesting and fun.
Wut? I think it’s a good combo and Mario is funny af.
