Thank you so much for commenting. I never did track any of my sessions while windsurfing. But while considering foiling, I came across a few UA-cam channels where people seem to track everything quite consistently. Now that I do it, I think it’s a very nice tool. I also note down wind direction and strength at the different spots, including my subjective experience in the conditions. And a sidenote. I can just feed in the entire session journal to ChatGPT and make it generate all the descriptive statistics and export a CSV file I can import into Excel. Pretty easy.
I am considering dropping foil size to a more intermediate kit, will this slow my progression or help it? I also SUP foil and struggle to keep the foil under water! I can't 0:02 yet jibe either when winging thanks
Thanks for this incredible analysis. I started on a Lance 5.8 and currently on X-Over XL, looking to upgrade at least the foil as I feel it's stopping my progresses with the jibe (too slow when turnin). For the board have you seen the new mint? Or are you considering only inflatables?
I was actually thinking about buying the new Mint board. But then a good offer came in on a used Fanatic Sky Wing Team ed. 85 L for sale (less than half the price of a new Mint). So I jumped at it. Now I've had three sessions on a hard board, and I have to say that I think everything is easier on every aspect compared to the inflatable boards. It feels calmer and more stable in flight, touchdown is not a problem unlike the inflatables, and I can take off in less wind because it's easier to gradually push out of the water. I still think the inflatables have their place, and for me, it's a big advantage to be able to have it all in the boot of the car (and kids in the back seat).
Great video and very hepful 👍 I'm currently on Curve XL and I find it quite good for my bodyweight of 95 kg. Now I'm considering to change to a H curve XL or even L ??? I'm at the beginning stage to learning jibes. May I ask what is your weight ? All the best Alfred
Hi, thanks for reaching out. I am very glad you found the video helpful. I found the transition fra Curve XL to Curve H L easy. A lot of lift is gained from the slightly higher AR. My weight however is 84 kg (at the moment), thus at Curve H XL could be better suited for you. It also depends on if it is a "all purpose" front wing, or light/high wind setup?
@@simon-surf Good to share your experience. I am 72kg, I am running Curve XL. I was looking for information to go to Curve HL or Curve L. I want all purpose front wing. My level, learning jibbes, like everybody, hahaha. My spots are choppy, mediterranean areas, waves are very continue, short period.
Really enjoying this series as a beginner wingfoiler!
Awesome video! Clever to track it so thoroughly, is also very helpful buying advice seeing what gear you ended up using most 🤙

Thanks a lot for this usefull video! I am a beginner who just completed my first flights. What a thrill! Cheers from South of France!
Cheers! Thanks a lot for your feedback on the video. I am really glad to hear that you found I useful! Amazing sport!
Tak for deling 😊👍💪🤙
thank you. Great video, very useful, just picking my first board, I think I'll go for HIPE First
Can’t go wrong with that in the beginning. Easy and safe learning. I saw that a new version just came out.

@@simon-surf If I'm going to get inflatables it's going to be for a specific low wind board. The new Hipe diamond looks interesting
Agree looks very nice 👏🏻🤩🤙🏻

@@Joseillo500 both are great, but I would go for Curve H L… still my favorite.
@@foilnow-sx8nv 80-82 kg 🤙🏻
@@simon-surf did you find differences for jibing between Curve XL to Curve HL ??
Hvad er din vægt, hvis jeg må spørge? Bare lige for at vurdere de forskellige størrelser ift min kampvægt på 90 kg
