NEW SPORTS: CAN I LEARN TO SUP FOIL AND DOWNWIND IN ONE WEEKEND?

Listen to me talk to myself over a challenge I set. Trying to learn both sup foiling and downwinding in one weekend.
Disclaimer: Go chat to a shop about what gear is best for you. I have done a lot of prone foiling and dock start downwind runs so reading bumps already came natural to me. If I was learning to foil or sup without this experience I’d be on a completely different setup.
Filmed POV GoPro hero 11.
Spots: Lyall Bay and Seatoun
Gear:
-Board: Armstrong Downwind Perfomance 98L 8’2 by 16 3/4 wide
-Foil: HA1080, Speed 180, PM795 and 60 fuse. All set at 8 on the tracks. No shim.
-Paddle: Fanatic adjustable
-Weight: 83KG no wetsuit

If anyone can learn to SUP foil and downwind in a weekend it's you, but you're an exception!

How did you like the HA1080 for surf/downwind? I'm about to buy a new foil for the same (and also some pump foiling on flat water). Thinking of the 1080 or APF 1325 or 1675. I'm 70kg with some SUP surf experience.
