Hi Sam, I´m a veteran windsurfer, congratulations and thanks for your videos 🏆. I´m waiting for my first wind foiling time soon, and watching your videos it seems so easy, but......🙄🤪
Good video. I was out today for my first time and i thought i had way to much lift.maybe i need to move my footstaps further foward and my mastbase too.
@@SamRossCoaching this was going to be my exact question - what rear wing have you paired with the. 1100 front please? (Epic videos by the way - only downside is I keep watching them trying to figure out why I don’t look like that!!)
Hi Sam you look like you are roughly same size as me, i want to buy the same severne sv harness and the same impact vast from forward wip, are you a medium in both, or a large in the harness and a medium in the impact vest? as always i appreciate these videos i am progressing with my iqfoil kit like crazy. thanks
until the windsurf industry can figure out how to tilt the wing like the kitefoilers and america cup monohull boats do, the wingfoil thing is not going very far, once you lift from water, the wind on sail and fin pressure generates a larger torque trying to turn you over, you would either ease out and slow down or stay with a very small sail, which is not a lot of fun, the kites however, can harness the full power of wind with their wing tilted into wind
Not necessarily true. Have you watched PWA racing? Wide boards, lots of control over smaller wings, boards canted to windward, lots of speed. The issue w.r.t. any form of wing flap to change the camber of the foil is too complex for manual sailing systems. Those seeking speed generally start with higher wind velocity to initialise lift and with small wings and stabilisers set close to neutral attitude. Foil wing design is progressing rapidly and sailors are using smaller and smaller wings that still generate sufficient lift with far less drag.
Am I the only one who find this so hard to master? I have impoved faster on other windfoil skills but this one just keeps beeing a struggle. Why? Anyone with tips not mentioned here?
Foiling is very sensitive to movement and improves overall windsurf skills. One thing is to look well forward to gauge height. Possibly now after 12 months since your comment you have mastered this. It comes with time on water and very subtle movements, but the key strategies are well covered by Sam.
Yeah....all clear but, not so natural position, not any stability, nor confort, no time to enjoy the ride, no sweet spot either. That is suppose to be fun....or what???
Thanks mate - watching your great video has just cost ££££thousands. Back to windsurfing after twenty years!

Very good !

Perfect !!!!!!
What does "hinge at the waist mean" in practical terms?
I have the same question :D
What type of foil ?
115 fuselage with 1100 front wing
