    Great Video. After more than 10 years kitefoiling which was after another 10 years of kiteboarding I've finally decided to commit to Winging. I'm getting good advice and buying my gear. I'm older (74) but not overweight (150) and in excellent condition. Your First Day video is helping.

      Hello mate. How its going with the wingfoil?? I have been kitesurfing for 10 years, last 3 years mixing it with kitefoil, but really corious to try wingfoiling

      @@GabriGlider It's going good... With fun long rides getting gybes, riding heel and toeside back and forth. With your kite foiling experience the actual foil riding feels familiar and somewhat easy. The trouble spots are: Your waterstarts can be brutality exhausting on any board smaller than your kg weight plus 20 in liters. And your footswitching since you don't have the support of your kite pull overhead

      @@GabriGliderI think you’d love it. It is such a free feeling to depower a wing and go surf bumps that nobody could ever surf before.
      There’s no other sport quite like it. I surf foil and I have to say, winging is by far the easiest foil discipline there is. You will pick it up in no time.

    "punch the water" was the only thing I remembered, from hours on RUclips, on my first session a few days ago. And it was super helpful! Thanks 😊

    I'm 70+. I've always been athletic, have attempted wind surfing enough to get a taste of the rush. As a kid, I spent a lot of time sailing with my dad in a boat he built... so at least I know the basics of sailing.
    This looks like even more fun... given the foil...
    Thanks for this... I'm inspired... If you see some old boomer out there....

    @mojo90toob 10 месяцев назад +1

    Great insights - I'm a beginner and the best tip I got from this was Damien's advice to 'punch the water' ie pushing away when the wing is overpowered or if you just want to readjust the angle. It's a quick and simple way to spill wind. 🌊

    Hi Damien. Just want to say Thank You for this video, and so many others. I have been trying to learn wing foiling for about 3 years now… and am only really now dialing it all in. I live in New York. It’s been a very long and slow process… but I love this sport and all the effort is totally worth it once it all starts to click. After going out on many sessions, I come back to this video and all your tips make so much more sense. The experiential factor is vital here! I’ve been watching you for a long time.. I see you, Damien. You are a true water warrior … it’s the other side to your message of benevolence. And I love it. Thank you .. for being you, and for your love in sharing the stoke. It’s helping a lot.
    With appreciation,
    Dmitri

  • @stevegates9606
    @stevegates9606 2 года назад

    Great thanks -will look forward to trying!. Having been a windsurfer, one important hint I'd add is how to steer the board by shifting the wing/sail fore and aft, which then moves the centre of force fore and aft which in turn allows you to put more 'pressure' on the front or rear of the board to steer it downwind or upwind, respectively.

    Hi Dame, im a newbie in winging with no background in any watersports, currently i have a 110L, 5' 10" board using a 2000 front wing foil with 5m wing, however, it is off season here in TampaBay area, 7-10kts most of the time. would you recommend a 7m wing so i can get in the water more, is it hard for beginners to use a 7m wing (size wise)? thank you.

    • @DamienLeroyYouTube
      @DamienLeroyYouTube  2 года назад

      JC, There is no question a larger wing helps! 7-10 is very light and really takes some skill for anyone. 8m, 7m all will help a ton. The Fone 8m is great as well as the Cabrinha 7m Mantis. My thoughts. Its a big difference between a 5m and the 7 or 8M. I don't think it is harder just different. Will have more power and works.

Dude - love ya! Thanks so much - you made it an awesome day for me! Love the vibe bro.

    Super video, Damien. I like how you explain some of these mistakes that I am making - like the fronttip dipping in front of the board, and not going upwind when I get on my feet and loosing hte power in the wing. If you do more of these videos, please focus on these things: all the common mistakes that will kill a session and that are easily fixed if you just discover the logic of board/wing/foil handling.
