Vielen Dank für die Nachricht!!

Dock starting is much easier to learn with the XXL. Since low speeds are enough, you can jump from a standing position without running (Deadstart). Once starting has become second nature, you switch back to the smaller XL!

Yes, it is the Allvator Rise Alu XXL first generation. It is a real shame that this wing is no longer produced. It is ideal for beginners and is super easy to launch in the most difficult places. I weigh 75 kg myself, but the Allvator XXL is also suitable for much heavier riders.

@@neckarfoil thanks. I have an allvator 1900 and I weigh 70kg, I will try to learn foil pumping with it... :)

Hi! The inner walls of the holes must be sealed to prevent water from penetrating the wood. It doesn't have to be made of metal either! Sealing with epoxy could also be sufficient.

Kathrin did not pump in the May episode because of her shoulder injury 🤕

@@neckarfoil hope she will be fine soon

Yes, we keep going!!!😀

Thank you for your comment. We thought that the Flite User Manual was unfortunately a bit sketchy on this point.

@@neckarfoil Yep,you are right...Your video is simple and clear...😎👌

These are fliteboards! But from a sporting perspective, the E-Foil is underestimated. It is very strenuous and sore muscles are not uncommon😄

Hallo choco4surf, du meinst sicher diese Gewindemuffen mit Außengewinde für Holz und innen metrisches Gewinde!? Nein, damit haben wir tatsächlich noch nicht gearbeitet und können keine Erfahrungen dazu teilen. Wir würden diese Muffen dann aber auch nur in massives Holz schrauben, also kein Paulownia oder Balsa. Alternativ könnten aber auch je nach Boarddicke "Einschlagmuttern" funktionieren. Etwas edler wären "Bighead Fastener". Achte in jedem Fall darauf, dass es Edelstahl ist. Bei Salzwasser am besten A4 Edelstahl!

Tatsächlich meine ich nur eingeklebte Gewindemuffen (nur mit Innengewinde, aussen glatt und nur eingeklebt in die Bohrung). Also eine Befestigung ganz ohne Mutter. Aber vermutlich ist das zu riskant. Werde es vermutlich nicht riskieren. ​@@neckarfoil

@@choco4surf Ist tatsächlich riskant. Es sollte zumindest ein Hinterschnitt vorhanden sein, also eine formschlüssige Verbindung zwischen Gewinde und Board!

Fell Danke!😊

Hi Tyler, the first of these “Kingfisher” boards have been in use for our foil pumping courses for almost two years now. There have also been no complaints from our customers who have purchased a board. The robust construction with the wooden core does not become soft despite the high load during pumping. It is ideal for dock launching in harsh environments with steel docks and concrete walls. In contrast to foam cores, the board does not soak water in the event of minor damage.

That sounds no less complex than simply using a wood core. But yes, using the hardwood strips as reinforcement is a great idea! And definitely more lightweight!

Thanks a lot! The dimensions are given in the Video description. Length 93 cm. Width 32 cm.

@@neckarfoil thanks. Before putting the first layer of carbon or fibreglass is it better to leave the wood rough or sand it finely?

@@333cgs333 If you use regular planed wood, no additional sanding of the surface is necessary. The surface should be dry and dust-free.

Yes that is correct. I gave this clue at minute 2:01. The Titanium Flitecell from series 2.2 has self-balancing technology. But for the batteries of the older series, Flite recommends balancing between use.

It is first a layer of carbon and then glass. You could also do it the other way around, but then the edges would no longer have that wooden look. What would I do differently? I'm still thinking about how to make the holes for the mast easier. Maybe with inserts? But I haven't found anything suitable yet!

Unfortunately I can't share the dimensions. I set the bend by feel and it was reproducible due to the always same positioning of the screw clamps. The rise at the nose was 4cm and at the tail 2cm, but I'd keep it a little lower next time. Maybe 3cm/1cm.

Hi Harry, plywood weighs about twice as much as paulownia wood. But of course it's much more stable and yes, with plywood (20 mm thick) you don't need any additional fiber reinforcements.

Thank you very much for the fast replly! I started building the board today. Hopefully I will be able to finish it this week. @@neckarfoil

Thanks for your comment! In my opinion, the Paulownia wood core will be too stiff to keep it in a curved shape with the carbon layer. In my other video "the curvy shaped koi" I managed to form a rocker with balsa and beech wood strips. However, I prefer a flat board. It's somehow more ergonomic for pumping!

Yes, you are absolutely right! The grinding dust of the carbon fiber is respirable and a breathing mask should therefore be worn. Tip: the grinding dust can be reduced by wet grinding.

The oval tube was really hard to find, but I found it on Ebay. The dimensions are 60x10 mm with a wall thickness of 1.5mm. It holds the loads so far, however, I can say little about corrosion, since I am only pumping in freshwater. I wanted to find a simple alternative to the fin box tracks. In the meantime, however, I am convinced that for foil pumping you do not need this possibility of trimming. Instead of moving the mast plate you can move your standing position. Four holes are the easiest to implement ;)

Hi 99shades, no there is not really a template. I just use the previously built board. But feel free with the shape. The shape plays a subordinate role for foil pumping boards. A sharp nose or corners should be avoided so that it is not as sensitive to impacts on the dock.

I rlly liked the look of yours. What was the length and width?

@@williamstratton6221 Thank you! The dimensions are 92 x 35 cm. Have a look on our website. May be you can copy from the photos: www.neckarfoil.de/shop/equipment/foil-pumping-board-eisvogel/

Thank you for the quik response!

Hi Francois, the tool is a pipe cutter. It allows you to easily cut metal pipes to length. Always right-angled and without chips.

Hallo Eric, the dimensions of our "Kingfisher" Board are 92 x 35 x 2 cm. Watch the DIY Tutorium here: ruclips.net/video/2s8UlP3ODgE/видео.html

Hi, the length of the board is 92cm. With a thickness of 2 cm, the volume is 5 liters. Does this answer your question?

@@neckarfoilis cool thx man im go to try👍🏻

Ja, das ist aktuell echt ein Problem in den Baumärkten. Es gibt einfach keinen Nachschub. Wir haben noch bei Bauhaus die letzten Reste bekommen. Echt doofe Situation:(

@@neckarfoil Vielen Dank für die schnelle Antwort. :) Dann heisst es wohl abwarten 😅

Happy New Year! In this Video I used Tesa Ultra Power Tape. The Tape is very wide (48mm) what makes it difficult to mask curvy lines without wrinkles. I tried out a strong paper masking tape with 20mm width and it worked better. Just apply two lanes side by side to have a wider masking!

@@neckarfoil thanks! All the best for the new year.

Hi Max, yes, foil pumping will definitely improve your pumping technique and endurance. It is also great to be independent of wind and waves. Alternatively, a pump track for the skateboard is highly recommended!

Vielen Dank! Das freut uns sehr ☺️

Danke dir! Wir hoffen, du konntest dir was abschauen 😊

Thanks for the nice feedback!

Thank you! Check out our other board building videos and get inspiration.

Thanks, it's great that you like the video😊

@@neckarfoil Foiling is my dream.In winter I bought all the equipment and this summer I was going to ride.but the war began and all the equipment burned down along with the house.But I won't give up my dream))))

@@Alexander-tc5gd This is so sad 😔. We wish that there will be peace everywhere soon. And yes, never give up your dreams 👍 We wish you all the best!

@@neckarfoil Such is life. I am currently in Ireland under temporary protection. I will try to fulfill my dream here.

@@neckarfoil I lived on the shores of the Sea of ​​​​Azov, it is shallow and the waves are not high and short, we have very developed windsurfing and kitesurfing, there is no surfing on the waves at all. Almost no one has heard of foiling, and those who have heard laugh that it is very difficult and generally a toy for the rich and has no future. And this was told to me by people who have been involved in water sports for a couple of years, they laughed at me. And then I decided that I would learn everything myself and start teaching others. It was my plan to change my life))) I I wanted to bring foil surfing to the Sea of ​​Azov, because it's so cool, even on small and short waves you can ride for hours without a sail or wing or kite. I'm not complaining, I just wanted to share my dreams)

The weight is 3,2 kg. Meanwhile I would prefer paulownia wood as construction material. We have a paulownia foil pumping board in our shop. The weight of this board is 2,8 kg. A DIY video tutorial will be released next week here on RUclips!

More splashes or more failures? 😄

Hi Jacek, I am very happy that I was able to inspire you with this video. 1. The wood stripes are 10x10mm. This results in a wood core thickness of 20mm. (plus 2mm glassing and 3mm cork decking = 25mm total thickness). 2. Beech wood is significantly more stable than softwood. At least two stiff stringers should be incorporated, which direct the pumping forces over the board length into the mast plate. I would not recommend a pure balsa or foam core. 3. Yes, paulownia is very suitable. In our shop we have the "Eisvogel" pumping board which is made of a paulownia glue wood panel. You can buy the panels in the hardware store, so you do not have to glue them by yourself. And to be honest, a flat board is actually better for pumping than a board with a rocker like the one in this video! Check out Leo's tutorial of a paulownia foil pumping board: ruclips.net/video/HW1ou_KBMaE/видео.html We are working on a new RUclips video about the "Eisvogel" built, so stay tuned ;)

@@neckarfoil thanks a lot Kai! It really pushed me to order the paulownia plank! I just wonder if I should use only the glass fiber or rather at least one layer of carbon. Could You please share your experience, how many layers in total did You put on both sides and what carbon density do You recommend?

@@ja_git0 glass or carbon is a difficult question! If you use paulownia then the glass will give you a view on the nice wood grain because of its transparency. But on the other hand carbon itself has a nice look too! And is more stiffer and has less weight. On the "Eisvogel" I use very thick fabric. Glass and Carbon 400gsm (12Oz). On top 1x layer carbon and 1x layer glass. On the bottom side 1x layer glass only, but 2x layer carbon around the mast plate position. Have a look here in our shop: www.neckarfoil.de/shop/equipment/foil-pumping-board-eisvogel/ Two days ago, we had a Instragram live session talking about foil pumping board building. We put the content as text on our website (in German only, but I am sure that auto-translation will help).

Pumptrack mit dem Skateboard ist tatsächlich vom Bewegungsablauf fast identisch mit Foil Pumping. Ideal um das Schwingen der Arme zu üben und die Oberschenkel zu trainieren! Am besten spät abends auf den Pumptrack gehen, wenn die Tretroller-Fraktion bereits im Bett liegt 😉😄

@@neckarfoil und die langsam mit meinem Fahrrad fahren Fraktion auch

Das ist die Nintendo Wii Foil Pumping Challenge 😜 Nein, das hat unser Freund Michael (www.phview.com) für uns gezaubert. Aber von der verwendeten Software haben wir keine Ahnung.

@@neckarfoil klingt interessant. Danke für die Rückmeldung!

Thanks for your interest, but the board is not for sale.

Yes, you are right. 'Weightless' is a good description. And yes, we always compare it to a 100 metres sprint race. It's extremely tiring.
