How I fixed my "handle capped" wing to work for my preferred foiling techniques
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Год назад
I recently purchased a 2022 Duotone 2.0 M Unit wing. I was finding myself over powered too many days using my 3.0 Slick. I was hoping that because the gap between the handles was smaller in proportion to the wing, that I'd get used to them okay. Wrong! After 2 sessions I was determined to "fix" my wing to allow me to grab anywhere and slide my hand from the front to as far back as I could engin...
S-turn exercise, with bonus chapter on jibes! Balancing wing and foil part 2.
Просмотров 4,4 тыс.Год назад
If you can successfully launch onto the foil and wing in a straight line, you have actually found one or more ways to steer, at least enough to correct accidental course changes. Congratulations! The next logical step is to learn how to jibe on the foil. Lots of people at that stage hear about doing S-turns. How you do them matters! This video will explain the method that works best in jibes. T...
Run with it wing handling land practice - fun, dynamic and beneficial for foiling
Просмотров 886Год назад
This idea is so simple, but it's so much fun and so beneficial that you have to give it a try as soon as you get a chance, especially if you're still working on your jibe or tack. You simply run around your transition in a big space. Optionally, you can take a piece of rope or a long extension cord like I did, and create a 180° semicircle to follow as you run around your transition. This allows...
How I launch a sinker wing foil board that floats 66% of my weight
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.Год назад
When I got my first sinker, I decided to keep my big board for lighter wind, so I got a 35 liter board higher wind. It only floats 66% of my weight. I knew I was in for a challenge learning to water start it so I watched all the RUclips videos I could find and tried a lot of techniques in my first sessions. I really wanted the stink bug to work, but I could not balance on my knees long enough t...
Yoga for wing foilers version 2
Просмотров 340Год назад
Since I started to do this sequence daily, or some variation of it, I find I'm able to keep the "L" stance that I prefer more consistently. I believe my practice of doing this yoga routine, or some variation of it, each morning has contributed to my improved performance. This is admittedly a subjective, biased opinion only. It’s up to you to give it a try and make your own determination! In thi...
How to do the wing foil necking jibe
Просмотров 4 тыс.Год назад
I call this new transition the necking jibe, because like a first kiss, once you've got it, you're going to want to do it over and over again. It feels that good! It's name also comes from the fact that you bring your wing up over your head and actually kiss the center strut or boom to your neck as you make the smoothest, most balanced carving jibe you've ever experienced! As always, I'll expla...
Speed control exercise, balancing wing and foil, part 1.
Просмотров 6 тыс.Год назад
This is the first part in the "Balancing wind and foil" series. Part 2 will be on S-turns. Other existing RUclips videos mention S-turns (see my jibe playlist) but often without much detail on how to do them! My video will be in the context of the posture and control techniques that I teach and as always cover what, how, how it feels and why this technique works best! All my videos can be viewe...

Easy way to position your wing foil mast on your board with no trial and error
Просмотров 12 тыс.Год назад
People often determine placement by how easy or difficult it is to launch onto the foil. But I feel it's better to move your feet on the board to enable you to launch, as needed. This positioning technique optimizes for balance once you have launched, which I prefer to make a priority. Why is it good to align your foil with the Center of Gravity (CG) of the board? This positioning technique cre...
Welcome to Wing Coach David

Welcome to my channel, and a special welcome to my in-person students. Thank you for doing your homework! I'm a professional Wing foiling coach with lots of experience teaching other sports since I was a young man. As of March 2023, I'd wing foiled over 1800 miles in the prior year. I taught a lot of people informally at first, because I love it. I went pro in February 2023. For more details ab...
Wing foiling glide exercise
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
When you first got onto the foil, it was after many hours of wing handling practice. Your primary attention has been on your arms and upper body. As soon as you launch, your awareness must shift to your feet and legs as they work to keep you flying. The glide helps you continue that shift. Once you can stay flying, you have a whole new vehicle to learn to “drive.” Your wing is mainly your engin...
Best posture and easiest control techniques for wing foiling
Просмотров 9 тыс.Год назад
wingcoachdavid.com Introduction transcript: I teach all my students the techniques in this video, before we work on jibes or any other more difficult transitions, because they make everything easier to learn. Even though these techniques work really well, many (if not most) proficient wing foilers don’t use them! The early adopters into this young sport were already experts at other wind and wa...
