Great info. We were there but security was tight so we could only watch from a distance. Wind was light so we went out east to ride. Thanks for being so thorough.
Great things coming our way. I just need a bigger wallet and a way to convince my wife that these are really just therapy bills. Getting the CWC 8 soon. Can't wait.
Need a high powered RC boat while we are waiting on the radbug to come out. Ill drive you can foil! Great video bud. Fingers crossed for some OK wind soon!
Awesome job. Excited to try out the duotone aluula wing. Really cool to get to meet you, as i flagged you down outside Windance, I had to brag to my girlfriend about that.
Was Ocean Rodeo at there, with their Glide Aluula wing? That's been very well received so far. I'll certainly be spending some money on Aluula next season!
You said you liked Flysurfer MOJO amongst the Dacron wings. Can you please share what you liked about it? And what you didn't, maybe? I'm planning to learn to Wing on Snow (On Skis). But wondering if the large wing span (I read it's very High Aspect) will be a hindrance on snow/land because we will not be at a height unlike on a hydrofoil.
I’m sorry Raghu. I can’t speak to the aspect. I was on the 5.? In size and had no issues with tip touch down. I thought it was comparable in power and performance to the Unit wings. I’m sorry, just not sure on ice.
Any beginner wing foiling boards catch your attention for being short by high volume or making it easier to get started without needing to change board too soon?
@@TheOKKiteboarder Sorry! Muscle turns to spam as we get older. Golf is my backup too. If there is a lesson on how not to hurt your bicep while winging let us know!
No. I had already reviewed the Fanatic and the Lahoma in an earlier video comparison. The only new one to the market that I saw was the Slingshot. It looked pretty bullet proof, a little deeper in depth than I prefer, but good.
No mention of either windsurfing or windsurf foiling. Sad. Went to the Hatch the other day on a fin and 4.7. I was the only windsurfer among 2 dozen wingers. My son is 6, and it seems he will be also winging in a few years as many other youngsters.
I was a windsurfer many years ago and I moved to kite but cannot manage to use it on small lakes with tricky winds. Within my friends who didn’t moved to kite for this use, plenty of them are now moving to wingfoil , and I am looking to it for lake use. I am pretty sure that windsurf which moved to a very small market versus kite, will nearly disappear in a couple of years due to wing!
BTW you pronounced "hookipa" the way 99% of wind sport enthusiasts have since 1980. If you try to go Hawaiian, "ho'okipa", your peers will look at you funny and even the locals might roll their eyes. Plus, we Okies don't like to say two vowel sounds in a row. That's why we say "nukular" instead of "nuclear". If I ask an Okie to say "the permeability of the oil shale" he will want to say "the permbilty of the awl shale". So as a long time Maui part timer I would recommend you stay with what works.
Great event but, winging looks so backward omg. I'm not against having fun but why would anyone sacrifice a big air or light wind foil kite session to fart around holding on to a giant tampon? Moreover, wing foiling is really not a spectators sport. I want to fall asleep watching foil wing fairies on the water lol
@@TheOKKiteboarder that's so true. Ok i promise i will retract my comment when winging involves a ball or some kind of dangerous rugby tackles, etc don't you think so too lol?

Love Vadim on the thumbnail! Great video. High quality, thoughtful, and spot on … was awesome to finally meet you in person!
Great meeting you as well Devon. Keep killing it.
Great info. We were there but security was tight so we could only watch from a distance. Wind was light so we went out east to ride. Thanks for being so thorough.
Thanks James. I’m sure you got some great riding out East.
OMG. just wanted to stop buying new gear every few months 🤣. But no chance. It never stops. Thanks for this amazing overview. Top vid!
Thx Cezary!
Well done, to the point and good interviews. Appreciate the summary. Thanks!
Thx Baskin!
Great overview, thank you🤙🏼
Thx!
That wingtip on that R1 just keeps flipping inside out.
Always a great video bud, well done.
Thx Svens!
Great things coming our way. I just need a bigger wallet and a way to convince my wife that these are really just therapy bills. Getting the CWC 8 soon. Can't wait.
The CWC will definitely add sessions to your season.
Awesome video! Thanks for the review for those that can’t attend.
Great video dude! Crazy to see so many people hyped on the WING!
Thx Jake! Wings just everywhere...great conditions though in the Gorge with shifty, gusty winds and large wind swell.
Great overview; appreciate the insights on new products and trends..
Thanks!

Agree. Let’s get some soon.
Good interviews. Thanks
Thx Sharaf!
Great review! Also stoked to see Devon making a mark. 🤙🏽
Thx! Yes, he has worked hard to open up a new world.

Great stuff! Thank you
Fantastic update, thanks!
Thx Chris!
Great summary, thanks!
Thanks for this summary, really like the way you give us infos
Thx Gregory.
Many thanks for the summary 💪
Thx Hannes

Yes. There was a shot of it in the video 👍
Another great video. I hope alula products are getting cheeper now... Any more info on Redbug?
No info on production.
Love your content! Sub'd
Thanks Jerome!

@@TheOKKiteboarder no worries. Did you happen to fly the new X3 Crosswing from Cabrinha? If yes, curious to know what you felt of them?
I didn’t, but I had friends demo the Cabrinha lineup and their preference was the Mantis.
Any beginner wing foiling boards catch your attention for being short by high volume or making it easier to get started without needing to change board too soon?
I thought the Axis boards fit the bill for that. But my personal preference is to add a few inches in length to avoid that “boxy” feel on the water.
4:53 RADBUG. Ain't that clever. 👍🏼 Any idea about pricing?
No idea yet. I don't think it's at production quality yet..
@@TheOKKiteboarder is that is the name Radbug?
@@ericmnr I’m assuming that’s the name. It’s printed on the top of the boogie board 🤷♂️
I want one :-D demo to product asap please
Have you rode the slingshot UFO? I love mine!
I haven’t. It’s not optimal for my gusty inland lake conditions but I’ve heard great things.
@@TheOKKiteboarder I actually ride it on small inland lake in Wisconsin. I have to drift lunch most of the time so it works pretty well for that.
Finally we see Rebel SLS 🤭
did I miss the radbug link?
I don’t have a link for the rad bug. It’s a prototype.
the guy with the ozone in the background - did he fold his kite at last? makes me nervous....
Hey Okie -- how did you injure your bicep?
Winging. And then it snapped completely while golfing.
@@TheOKKiteboarder Sorry! Muscle turns to spam as we get older. Golf is my backup too. If there is a lesson on how not to hurt your bicep while winging let us know!
I can find nothing about the airush nitro or d-lab wing online, when are they coming out?
All I know is 2022 lineup. Not sure of official release date.
ETA for D-Lab Unit Wings is January 2022. ETA for Airush Nitro wings is March 2022.
@@GreenHatKiteboarding thanks so much and good to know!
Kyle! Did you get a chance to ride any new inflatable wing boards ? (and if so, maybe a video on your thoughts!!!)
No. I had already reviewed the Fanatic and the Lahoma in an earlier video comparison. The only new one to the market that I saw was the Slingshot. It looked pretty bullet proof, a little deeper in depth than I prefer, but good.

Windsurfing has been canceled.

Completely agree Robert. Winging is internal. Show me the person that is already proficient at winging and hates it and maybe it’s another story.
@@TheOKKiteboarder that's so true. Ok i promise i will retract my comment when winging involves a ball or some kind of dangerous rugby tackles, etc don't you think so too lol?
Learn how to wingfoil in swell and you'll understand.
Please learn to pronounce Hookipa correctly.🤙
Thanks for the critique. It’s always good to improve. Please display the pronunciation below if you get a chance 👌
Awesome review, now include a sub channel the OK BANK ROBBER so we can keep up with the trends
I’ll think about it Claudio 😂

Great to meet you Joseph and thanks for the kind words.
