Nice video. It was nice seeing a beginner learn the sport unfiltered. I actually thought he made some fast progress for being completely new. Regarding the conclusions, I think winging is good for people with no wind sport experience. You can quickly learn both foiling and how wind sports work. Also, the gear isn't so large that it can be transported in a small car. So there are some advantages on the front end of winging initially. I
Always the best. Every weekend I arrive back from Windsurfing you just uploaded a new video. Love it 🤙🏻
The comparison between beginner and pro windsurfer is really helpful. Please keep doing videos with Ole!
"they grow up so fast" 👌👌👌
Great job Ole. Don't worry about the walk, it will keep you fit and healthy and every single person who tries to learn these sports has to do a bit of walking. Great video Nico, well presented as always and I look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future.
Great vid, it's always loads of fun with Ole!
A friend of mine has that board Ole was using and he loves it! He uses it exclusively for windsurf foiling. I also enjoyed watching you guys try something different.
So good to learn about windfoiling, especially for beginners 🙂👍 Be nice to Ole, he did it really fine 👌✌️
"Super light gear" haha, everything is relative! As a kiter and kite foiler I found the wing board super heavy to drag upwind after my first walk of shame 🤣
For me the attraction of Wing foiling is to be able to surf the waves without a kite pulling you and use the wing to ride back out again. But I first need to learn before I can go out in bigger waves. I will practice at DosMares this summer 🤩
that... and trying to launch a kite once you go down... especially when water's over your head. Windsurfing is easier to water start too. These boards are much more related to windsurfing than kiteboarding, for better or worse.
exactely, wing nowadays makes sense only because of foils, and for the same reason it is limited to foils...if you live on the seaside with nice waves wing is an awesome choice otherwise kiting or windsurfing wins hands down....
And congrats on you pwa result, pretty impressive start in one of the heats.
Love seeing Ole struggle; makes video very relatable. And I love how you giving shite all the time and he's game for it 😂
Glad to see some other cool stuff to do when the conditions are less optimal
I've found that for me when using the Starboard/Airush 6m, I can hold the second loop with my front arm and the last loop with my rear arm to be the most effective and being able to straighten my arms completely, just using my shoulders to adjust the tension/angle. Helps a lot to not get too tired in my arms.
Great video, and very informative. As with any balance oriented sport there is a learning curve. Definitely a great way to get out on the water and have fun. Just in Maui and saw 70 year old men getting up on 95 liter boards in Kahalui Harbor and having a lot of fun on a windy Sunday afternoon. I'm a wind surfer and will be getting a rig.
enjoyed this vlog as a 40+ windsurfer my feeling goes toward windsurf foiling but next spring i will have some lessons in both and see what i like the most! thank you for this.
Just a quick hello Nico.
Loved this piece on wingfoiling.. very helpful.
I’m just starting back into Winsurfing after a fifteen year break… it’s slow relearning and I had a think about foiling, but as you say I have all the gear already for WS so will persevere :)
Nice to see you again ☺️
this was really fun! thanks for all the great info!
I have windsurfed for close to 30 years, and can now wind foil. I'm not sold on the "wing" foil, but it does look like a good alternative for people who just want to get up on a foil and don't have sails, masts, etc. If this had been around when I was younger, I might not have a garage full of sailing gear!
So did you just put a foil on one of your windsurf boards?
Old guy here. 30 seasons of windsurfing and newbie windsurf foiler. If I wasn't already a relatively competent windsurfer wouldn't even consider windsurf foiling, but would have put 100% into wing foiling. JMHO, foiling will get more people onto the water. The expanded wind range with less gear and compact size (even windsurf foil) reduces the hassles and longterm costs. More so for wing foiling than the other foil disciplines. Might consider winging in the future if the wings continue to evolve to a higher performance and durable product. 1st need to become a competent windsurf foiler. Competent = foiling jibes under all conditions.
I wonder if there's a decent foil-ready freestyle windsurf board that is also good on the wing? Maybe I can expand my wind range because sometimes I go weeks without getting in the water. Like for instance right now, with around 5~8 knots for days and with an uncomfortable chop for light wind windsurfing.
@@christinemurray1444 Alan Cadiz at HST looks like he start his students out on large floaty boards when first learning to handle a wing. People with minimal board riding skills he sticks on SUPs with a daggerboard. Robert Stehlik at Blue Planet Surf has useful wing tutorials. One demonstrates wing control using a a land skateboard. JMHO, like in windsurfing rig control is key to progression. Guessing a small to medium board with a sturdy DT box or twin track would be fine for beginners with board riding skills. 5-8kts I'm foiling using a 5.5M sail and large, but slower than slow foil (SS HG 84). 5kts requires effort to pop up on the foil. 7kts is a 2-3 easy pumps.
What does jibe mean
Been windsurfing for a year and loving your videos. On lac leman this could be a good option!
Great video again!
(Just recorded my fist winging experience for the Dutch speaking last week and is also out now.)
Good racing out there in Israel!
I have a windsurf foil and now a IQ Windsurf (Olympic one). I race Raceboard windsurfing and slalom since 1990. Never tried Wing Foil but I will in the future. I believe a lot of kite surfers will migrate to wing foil. It’s getting faster and more effective every year. Thank you for the video!
I liked the information you gave , Ive not been sure about the wingfoiling until now
Man Lumix is impressive. It can expose for Ole's skin and still keep shadows visible
Thanks for an interesting video. Just bought my first wing today. Hope to get it soon. A North Nova Wing 4.2 m. Windsurfer, kitesurfer and eFoil rider. Looking forward to trying this on the smaller lakes of Wisconsin with one of my windsurf boards first. And in the winter with the snowboard probably.
As you work for Starboard it could be cool to have a review on the windsups they have! I know they are maybe not as cool as traditional boards but they might bring people to windsurfing like Ben Proffit talked in one video. Like could a windsup be a windsurf alternative for light wind fun? If you are not in to foils, wings and so on.
Hallo Nico! I have been windsurfing since 1984. I started Windfoiling in 2019. I love my Slingshot Dialer 130 and infinity 84 wing. I am close to competing my foil jibes up on the foil and I can stay in control the whole time. Not going to wing foil this summer, but I might try it next year.
Great video guys, thank you
That was great! Both of you did great although I’m a dedicated windsurfer it was still cool.
Just bought a Starboard Hypernut, wing and paddle. Haven’t bought the foil yet. I’m a longtime surfer but not a wind or SUP guy. Really appreciated your video.
I learned so much. Thank you.
Coole Sache das du auch mal auf das Wing Foiling eingegangen bist. Das Material von Starboard sieht richtig interessant aus auch das Stecksystem ist interessant. Leider hab ich bei uns keine Möglichkeit das Material zu testen. Aber mach weiter so ich schau mir deine Videos gerne an.
Just starting as well, I think it can be very good alternative to windsurf in light wind
Ole did some very nice camera work. Thanks for showing me in this video that I should stick to kitesurfing. 👍
Can't wait for the World Cup livestream and race to start in Tiberias in a few minutes, i'll be cheering for you!
My first wing foil video. Very cool thanks!
Hey Nico... Would it make any sense to try a windfoil on a freeride 110l windsurf board?
Wingfoiling🤩🤙🏽
Looks very nice!
I just moved to Germany (Schwerin) where do you recommend me to go windsurfing? Cheers
Hi nico is there any problem in using a windsurf foil
on a crossover board (jp freefoil 130) for winging?
This looks so much fun. I'm in Pensacola Florida and would love to try this... how much for the kit and any recommendations?
Should do a video on windsurfing board comparisson somewhat like you did here with the wingfoiling boards
Well done alemanos!
Nico, how are you covered in light wind? Windfoil (not wingfoil)?
Hope you win pwa in isreal👏👏
2nd in Elimination 5 is the best I could do, haha! Thanks for the support guys.
@@Nico_GER7 still proud of you nico you went out there and did the best you could👏👏👏
Love ur vids👍👍👍
as a former windsurfer i am gratefull for this video....it underwrite my conclusion that windsurfing is more for me. But thanks for the demo....
just curious. what goes up wind better a foil or a windsurf board ?
Hi Nico, schönes Video - Gruss auch an Deinen Freund und Respekt für seinen Lernfortschritt. Eine Frage aber: ist das für die Arme nicht recht anstrengend, sie die ganze Zeit nach oben zu halten oder nach oben gezogen zu werden vom Foil? Und könntest Du dir vorstellen, das der nächste Entwicklungsschritt ein Trapezgurt ist, der etwas die Kraft abfängt, die auf dem hinteren Arm beim Dichtholen liegt? (Kannst auch in englisch antworten für die Community ;) - Ciao.
Have you tried the Hyper Nut yourself? Would love to see a video testing it for windsurf and regular surfing too.
Would also love tips on staying upwind on a wing. Seems like the hardest part honestly.
I have a Hypernut 4-in-1 that I windfoil (not winging it yet) and wavesail. It's not very efficient because of low volume and lots of rocker. But it does make for a great board to always bring to the beach.
Nice content 👏🤙
I was watching wing foiling today, it's huge here in France. One guy had it nailed, closing the gap at speed like a windsurfing sail, he was flying...the rest looked pretty average, and didnt particularly inspire me. Finding the sweet spot is key in this sport. Get it right, it looks good. Prices for the kit are crazy!
Nothing like windsurf…Anyway, the wing foiling …it has to be fun to try 🤟 another sailing sport for the news generations!!! Sure .
Great video... makes me want to wing foil!
Can you do a before and after water routine video
Old school slalom🤙
Which is faster, wingfoiling or windsurfing?
cool 😃 What is the music in the start?
Does it get tiresome to hold the wing? With windsurfing the sail is obviously heavier but most of the weight is transferred to the board via the mast, and with a harness it’s your body weight that counter balances the wind load
do you coming to israel for the compatition ? i just came back to surfing and found you and you give a good motivation
Vielen Dank! Bin auch etwas an diesem Punkt: Etwas Surferfahrung vorhanden und ich möchte Wingfoil probieren, nun habe ich eine Vorstellung, was mich erwartet.
I thought with kitesurfing mankind had reached the pinnacle of shit, but then they invented the wing-foil
What's up nico, I'm from Israel coming to see you all guys tomorrow. See ya
Thx
I live in Miami. I want to try this!
The „die bolt“ hopes not to die? Glad you didn‘t 👍🏼
Is the windsurf/wing/sup board a good board to start foiling with windsurfing? And its not an inflatable right?
I have a Hypernut 4-in-1 and it's okay for windfoiling but definitely not as efficient as a dedicated board. Also they are pretty low volume for their size.
Nice!,
Hope to help clean the ocean for more of this
Nico, I am a windsurfer....is this the next best thing after windsurfing or do i need to invest in a KITE????Is this the sport to go for when the wind is 8-13 Knts en windsurfing is only fun when you have a 12m2 :)???
Nothing beats kite foiling for light winds. Wing is fun when you have more then 15 knots
All my friends do this and wind foil and kite surfing. This season has been the rubbish for wind in the UK but all my friends have been out so much because of foiling...... I'm torn what to invest in. I'm thinking wind foil because I love wind surfing but I like the compact idea of winging?
I'm windfoiling using the same small wavesails (5,5m2 flying in 12 knots with big 1600cm2 foil). IMO there are two reasons to go for wingfoiling: I hate uphauling and more difficult to get into the shore break with windfoiling
Guys just wear a helmet and impact-vest. The chance to fall onto the foil is quite there!
Yes mum…. 😂
I fell onto a foil wake surfing 😬
Music credits please! Great video but some awesome tunes too, love to know who.
Good summary, if you already windfoil, then winging is not for you. But perfect for getting Ole into the water. Ole is your average guy and I think he is like most people today. Should be your target market, for SB that is but maybe not your YT Channel.
Hi Nico, could you please tell the name of the location where the clip was recorded. Thanks ahead Ferenc.
Tarifa, dos mares
He says the wing is not like a windsurfing sail and is held differently.then every shot of them out foiling they are holding it just like a windsurf sail
Wonder if this wing would drag large inflatable boat :))))
This is so cool
👍🏽
"They grow up so fast" - 🤣 What size wings were you guys on? Presumably most people will use bigger ones because if there was enough wind to use a small one then you'd be out windsurfing 😁 BTW Ben can wingfoil... What about a multi(water)sport Nico/Ben Olympics in Portugal? 😉
nico good luck in israel!!!
1st time foiling combined with 1st time with a wing???
Are you aiming to make Ole famous on Send It Sessions on Windsurfing TV??
That said, I think he did remarkably well for a novice!! At least with a wing there's no mast or boom to smack your face into - though the long walk back up the beach is no different!!!
Walk of shame :) also know as: Höhe laufen ;)
Leaving a comment... bitzle teuer
Nice tattoo but please get some Sun Nico...
It would be great to see you try kiting 😂
I've windsurfed for a long time so I suspect I have to un-learn a bunch of stuff to ever be good at this.
No, there is more crossover than you think.
Nice video, but wind foilng is not gonna make big boom for itself.
Coordinating three dinamically moving axles down and three more up is not and easy task..My opinion is that must be easy to learn foiling first, windsurfing for instance, then move to the wing...But wait..who cares about my opinion.lol
U don't read that right?
This guy makes me angry. I’ve been struggling with this sport for 4 months and this guy is already jibing. Maybe I should have become an expert windsurfer before I started! Anyway, it’s a great sport and the feeling of flying is addictive.
Nie und nimmer nur 2 Tage vorher gemacht.
Doch :-) und kein Stückchen besser geworden seit dem ersten Mal 😂
I hate when long time windsurfers try wing foil once and then say its not as exciting as windsurfing. well no shit being a beginner kook winger is less exciting then being a pro windsurfer. That's not comparing apples to apples. spend some time getting good at it learn to jibe, tack, wave ride, jump then make the comparison . How about this, compare your first day on a windsurfer to your first day on a wing. then compare your 5th day on a wing to your 30th day on a windsurfer, wing win 100000% of the time. How did a small mind guy like this ever learn to windsurf in the first place. 100% he is a trust fund kid as well, like 90% of the pro windsurfs I use know in maui, epically the race crowd, hookipa chargers a 50% a different crowd
You read the comments you say Nico? OK, I think you go too loud with your music. I have to turn it down and then I can't hear the dialog. It's a common fault.
Yeah, quite aware of that. I hate watching videos like that. Trying my best to level that out. I think with most videos I cut myself
you will find that it’s quite alright 😜.
Wing foiling makes me want to vomit.
absolutely niche... in a couple of years just vanished
I think it was highly irresponsible to let Ole out without the helmet. You set an example and spread the inspiration to others, safety is very important!
Windsurfing or foiling without a helmet is way more dangerous than going with a super soft wing. Take it easy...there are worse things on the planet than a guy having fun on the water. Also Nico is not responsible for anyones health. (in my opinion) 😊🤙🏾
Thanks a lot.
