@@uop42 i believe the second sounds correct if i understood. Basically imagine as if you are pulling the wing from the front of the board towards you, that way giving yourself forwards momentum when you pull back against the wind.

@@stevem7797 thank you!!! I

@@manvbees in that case I would work as much as possible on your wing control. I know its boring but the longer you spend on the shore getting used to your wing and all the details the easier it will be on the water! You can check some of my earlier videos for some help if you need it.

@@tftgghhpnlhobgig9dy9fuocup98 thank you! Hope it helps

@@michaelkihn8311 generally i have a rule that I dont jump anything over a 900 wingspan! My personal favourites are 780 and 720.

@ And is there anything to keep in mind when LANDING? Like bending the knees to absorb a little bit of the impact or landing sightly tilted towards the nose or tail? Or slightly tilted in the roll-axis to NOT introduce the complete foil back into the water at once? And what about the sige of the stab for jumping?

@@michaelkihn8311 to out it simply you just have to start and get a feel for it. Dont worry too much in the start because unless you are jumping 3m +++ from the start you dont risk much. Ideally you have as small a foil as possible. The biggest i usually recommend for jumping is 800-900m2 and under 900 wingspan as general rule but that is bot super strict As for landing there are many ways especially in the start but with a very small foil there is less fear of snapping it even if you land too flat. What you are aiming for is a landing where the foil doesnt take too much pressure. At the start a lot of people like to land with the rear wing first but i believe ultimately you should be looking at trying to land the leading edge of the foil in the water first coming downwards in order to cut through the water and then activate the foil again so you can continue on foil right after a jump. Hopefully that makes sense! Good luck

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind 3m! Scary! I don't belong up there! Nobody indeed! 😛 Thanks for the tips!!

@ no problem! Go for it and stay safe

@@ashleydavis614 yes that is true! I messed up something and it just didn’t record. The audio is just what the camera picked up. Hoped it would be ok like this. Sorry for the inconvenience

@@berci1001 a good point I hadnt thought of! Thank you! However, it also depends on what you do i guess. For example just riding along yes they may be more tiring (i have to take your word for it) but if you play around a lot with your wing then I think it goes the other way. I agree with the thinner point though! They are much thinner but hard handles are not too bad now. They are trying to get them as slimm as they can. Thank you again for your in out! See you on the water! 🤙

@@mindofown thank you! 🤙

@@Jan-ErikRundfloen axis for sure but its actually the art v2 879! Couldnt believe the glide I was getting for my size on such a small foil!! Season starts in May even though we are there earlier as well but wind is less likely before May! We look forward to seeing you

@@Chrisplumbgas the battens always stay in the sail. You never need to remove them 🤙

@ thank you much appreciated

@@marematto8231 just check out their site if you are looking for new. Vayu.world Of course you are welcome to come to us and try them out first and we do sell off iur gear at the end of the season

@@joaquinpineda6558 hi! Depends a lot on your level. But if you are a good rider for your weight I would take ART V2 879 or 819. They lift easily so you should be able to ride them no problem

@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind than you .LEVEl intermig

@@owenfrost6162 i am glad you enjoyed it! Hope it helps 🤙

@@marematto8231 hey! Thank you for the kind words! You dont need a carbon mast at your level (if ever to be honest). Also Axis alu 19mm masts are very nice masts so you can stick with them for as long as you like. I would suggest looking into the carbon masts when you are very high level and are pushing limits and when you use the biggest (by wing span) front wings from Axis. Even these cases are optional of course but those are the only two i would push for a carbon mast. At your current level most likely you will not feel it as a ride changing alteration so save your money and play around with the rest of your setup! The ALU masts are great

@ Christal clear, happy to know that. I can save something and start to upgrade by some new front maybe. Thanks a lot! Very appreciate

@ no worries! Anytime

I'm 105kg

@@edmlemay hey! Thank you! i would say that in general the ART v2 is a more refined and precise foil so it would be better all around. But also due to the wingspan difference the V2 should feel much easier.

@@bmrbca3658 cant say for sure especially because i haven’t used one! But just looking at photos of it I would say its for carving. I guess by doing that shape they are trying to also minimise the wingspan and taper the tips as much as possible. Would give the manoeuvrability of a smaller wing with added benefits of a larger wing? Maybe thats the idea. As I said it’s all a guess just by looking at photos! But to be completely honest it looks like an unnecessary shape to me. At least for achieving the previously mentioned. Of course they must know something we dont do, right?

Love the setup! I use nearly the same as I use crazyshort, 939 V2 and a skinny 360. I would like to try a smaller skinny on it as well as I think it would work nicer for waves. Maybe the skinny 358/35 (as I am a big guy not sure about going smaller). On a different note, if you tend to pump a lot I can also recommend trying the new updated fuselages as they do make a difference in the pump. For small waves that involve more gliding and pumping I switched to a new ultrashort (with the skinnies tail) and it helped a lot. Of course I am talking details as the setup you mentioned is already amazing but I would def recommend switching to a skinny for the ART V2s! Keep shredding!

Thanks Bro. Gonna try that skinny soon and I’ll report back.

Went with the 35 and love it. Waaay better than the progressive on wave. Faster and more playful. My carves on the waves are better after 1sesh. Thanks again for the advise. Fish

@ glad it worked out for you! Keep shredding with your new setup 🤙

Hey! yes it should help the foils get faster! Will most likely have less initial lift but otherwise should be faster and looser. Especially for the 1050 which is a big foil for your size. Try it out and let us know! :D

@@Bigd0gg thank you for watching! Hope it helps!

@@bobcooper8989 i hope it works for you! Try to keep the foil and board as flat as possible while changing your feet. You dont want any edging ideally. Good luck! 🤙

@@Tobeon2 hey! Yes there should be no problem, although best to maybe prebook it. I have had customers coming with downwind board and got transport! If you can find something contact us directly and we will see how we can help! 🤙

@@Tobeon2 just a lot of practice! 70lt is my sweet spot for nearly all conditions. I got a 60lt as well this year but I need a lot more wind for those 10 litres. I am also used to using quite small wind wing as I like to play around, so 5 is pretty decent size for me (also vayu wings can generate loads of power when pumped) As for the foil I usually ride 800cm on all conditions so its not new to me. Again i like to go as small as i can manage! Basically technique over power! 😂

​​@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind I weigh only (?) 77 kg, but some times have a hard time foiling up with HPS 930 & 5.5 m2 (North Mode Pro) on 84 liter board at 12-14 knots wind. I guess I really have to work on both of my wing & foot pumping techniques.. 😅

@ pumping is an important skill! Once you up your up! So work on the starting! Might make a video about pumping again soon!

@@marshallblack7138 best helmet by far! Hated helmets until i got this one! Light, doesnt move and protects the ears. Just keep in minds they seem to be maybe a little bigger size wise than what you think.

@@wonkylommiter6364 im glad it helped! 🤙

@@EricHoyt-p8n hi Eric, I dont have much experience changing the pitch on the rears to be honest! However, keep in mind that if you change it for the earlier start it will also affect the lift during your riding. So if you are perfectly balanced and happy with your setup while riding it might not be worth the change. As for fuse I use Adv+ crazyshort and ultrashort with all my spitfires. Adv+ for more aggressive turning but you can also ride normal if thats what you prefer.

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind thanks for your update. Will get used to the current set up.

Art V2 939! Super nice!

@@kristianjansson451 windsurf? Are you talking about windsurf foiling? In any case if you want a more surfy feeling Spitfire will always do the job. But it will have less speed and glide than an ART

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind yes windsurf foiling. thanks for the answer!

@@kristianjansson451 i am not very knowledgeable about windsurf foiling but if I am not mistaken, higher aspect foiling work better. So if you are looking for something that is surfier, smoother and offers all around more control and a better feeling then maybe try the ART V2. The spitfire tend to be for more aggressive surf and offer more lift as a foil

@@zbindenren this is an insta360 mounted at the end of the strout with a 3D printed mount. Although for wave riding I think a harness mount with a pole would be the best

Hey! That is quite a big jump so any struggle you are encountering is very normal! Will take you a few sessions and some decent wind to get used to a smaller board! Dont give up! Hopefully this video helps you and we are waiting for you next summer! :D

@@Tobeon2 yes this is the Vayu EOS 4.0! Great wing

@@candych0754 hi! Its hard for me to compare because i have limited experience on the ARTpros. We dont use them at my homespot because i find that they dont react very well to choppy waters. But let me try and explain the basics. Artpros should be faster but the ART V2 gives a lot more comfort and control. Glide should be similar but the 1201 i think has more. I prefer the take off on the ART V2 because of the control but I think the 1201 can start easier due to size alone. My minimum wind I have used the 999 with a 6m is 7-8 knots and I weigh 100kg To simplify the ART pro can most likely give you more in terms of glide and speed but the ART V2 is just a much easier and user friendly foil. For winging I would go for the ART V2 for sure

Thanks ❤❤❤​@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind

Not really as long as you are comfortable throwing it around! Usually most freestylers go for masts 85-95 (any longer is starting to get in the way for aerial freestyle) but can also be shorter. Board the smaller the better for the actual rotation but to get the best all around performance you want something you can start easily, doesnt sink straight under if your landing is sketchy but is short enough to feel easy to move around. Depending on your size I would recommend 50-85lt and 5’0 and under. And of course wing the smaller the better

@@catvaganay3237 no problem! Thanknyou for watching

@@jockharcourt9936 hey! Not sure of any exact dates. I am sure they are working on it as we speak. Axis dont release anything that they are not 100% happy with (their words) so patience is needed…

@@klausirion9556 no problem! Thanks for watching

@@rodrigoschmidtb hey! Its hard to say without knowing all the details but if you want to make life easy in light winds go for the 1030! Very easy to start and still carves super nicely for its size. Also very comfortable to pump

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind Thanks dude!!

@@rodrigoschmidtb no problem! Glad i could help

I am sure I will! I have not got one at the moment as I am not sure if it works well for our conditions here but will probably get one just to try! Until then stay posted!

Hope it helps! Let us know how it goes

Thats great! Hopefully i can help some people speed up that hard and long process of learning these moves!

Hey! If you are looking for faster foil but dont mind the wider turns they def go to the V2 with skinny rears. I am loving waveriding with the 939 and a skinny 360 As long as I dont need or want to be too aggressive on my turns the V2s work better. I use spitfires still when I incorporate jumps and freestyle into my session or when it’s super messy conditions. Also for the rear wings i use the progressive with my spitfires but have changed to skinny a few times and it does speed up the foil, so that would work for you as well. With the ART V2 I use only skinny rears because i find they work much nicer for me

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind thanks a lot. I‘ll keep you postet🤙

That's the problem with axis.. they dont have a foil that turns on a dime AND glides, which is what a lot of riders want

@@Alfonso_111 well, it‘s like looking for the holy grail, like in most boardsports, you have to make trade offs and try to get as close as possible to the ideal! Radical turning, glide, lift, ease of use, speed etc. Which one would you recommend?

Hey! I dont believe there is a 930 spitfire (correct me if I am wrong) but yes the 960 would be pretty close I guess to the HPS 980. I personally like going quite small on my spitfires so would go straight for a 900 but really depends on conditions and style. They have plenty of lift but not uncontrollable in any way. I have ridden big days over rigged on a spitfire and still had plenty of fun

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind you are right on there being no 930 spitfire. Was confusing it with the HPS 930. Thanks for the advice!

@@BrookStein hope it helps! Dont hesitate to ask anything else

The leash is on my hand but I dont use a board leash. I have tried it on my waist and its comfortable in some ways but takes some getting used to

and how you change hands the wing?

Hey! I am glad you liked it! I am sure you can use both foils and get used to them but I believe the spitfires will make gybes easier than the ART V2. Although I would generally recommend learning gybes and then progressing onto these kind of foils to really appreciate them. If you go for an ART V2, at your level provably the 999 will be best. Very manageable and easy.

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind thanks!

I am glad I could help! Keep pushing and you will progress in no time! Just remember, although you can use a lot of your windsurf skills, it is NOT windsurfing! So start thinking differently while foiling 🤙

Hey! That will be a general difficulty you will find moving onto any fast foil coming from the PNG! The main difference to keep in mind is that you have to generate as much speed as possible on the water before trying to take off. That might even require changing your pumping style I hope this helps

Thank you !

Ps I tried the phantasm 899 from a friend and it seem equal fast but much easier lift and control… really much easier to ride

@@maxriedl8741That is most likely because of a different foil section. Foils with different profiles will have different lift up speeds but also different maximum speeds.

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it
