Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion



Use your longest fuse,

- if too much lift, move rear foot forward, if still too much lift, move mast base forward.

- I move my rear foot constantly, inch forward, inch back depending on if I need more or less lift.

Same mast, fuse, foils.
- That way you only have to focus on 1 thing, YOU ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion



Hey Markus, are you riding the Wizard 125? My suggestion would be to take off the footstraps, that way you can move around and find the right balance. I could never windfoil with straps, I would always breach.
hey thanks for comments- yes Keens Wizard..a bit big perhaps but it works for now
Oh I ...

Re: Storm Riding, YOU and ME!!

Old topic and here we are: checked what seemed to be a funny flex in the reasonably new tendon mast foot…..keep cleaning and checking your gear, people. Winter isn’t over til we are in shorties, some like Gordon’s never get “summer” warmth :!:

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

It’s 90 from leading edge of front wing to trailing edge of backwing? They call it a 78 cm ….depends where you measure from I suppose

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

I keep thinking that but foil is centered and 60fuse may be faster so harder to control but front foot pressure and mast pressure should settle it down?
In lighter wind I can try my 80 fuse.

Just crawling my lard ass up onto the board takes it out of me, waves breaking on deck doesn’t help. Once I ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

Stubbornly sticking to my wing foil set up for wind foiling. After having some good success, yesterday was a setback, overfoiling and totally too powered I think. I felt I should still have been able to control it and even managed a couple of gybes in heavier wind with a 4.7 and 1300 but I was just ...

Re: Boom head parts wanted, Chinook pro one alloy rdm

I sent a bunch to recycle but we can check if I have the part in front of me….pictures won’t do it.

I’m at CB

As to the rubber, try tile board silicone, the blue stuff, other options are using chunks of old bike tubes to slip over or a 6” long large heater hose 2” dia chunk sliced longitudinally

Re: Vehicles for wing foilers

I know mini vans aren’t all that sexy but with back seat removed especially and a rack for a decent wide roof pod, a single person should find ample space even to camp. Hatches work well to sit out of the rains. Too bad about all the side slider doors, loved my old vans with barn doors! Huge ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

Thx 4j, yeah I pieced that mostly together and THEN saw the vid, good find and confirmation. The short fuse I can see making this a bit trickier but not impossible I think.
Not sure how the foil mast and turning fits into the picture but I’d think there is also a shifted “rudder” element/factor if ...

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion

The only thing marginal is the fuse length/spacing. As for winging my knees can’t do it I am thinking, wanna learn to be on foil before I try more

Re: Windsurf Foiling Discussion


….kind of need the different fuselage dimensions to make each work. ….

custom fuselages to get foils to ride correctly, .. harder when you don't know what correct looks like.

Something like a Slingshot PTM926 with both fuselages would be a good investment (probably better than a board) and is ...
