When searching for contents for wing foil, there are rarely such a good quality videos covering all from a to z. And no silly jokes, which is also a bonus. Thank you for this video. Very helpful tips.

Hey Serkan, glad you got some value from this video! We have thought of some future content to create though waiting on conditions to film! Hope the future videos also deliver value.

Excellent full walkthrough. I'm going to be taking my first lesson in about a month. I feel like it will be very helpful to have already gotten this explanation walking into my first lesson. This way, during the lesson, I can focus on the feel of the kite, the board, and the wind, rather than simply focusing on the instructions. Cheers!

Hey William, definetly don't get impatient! It is a "lifestyle sport" that you will always be progressing. The key is to first "show up" - putting the time into getting out there and training. Now of course it helps to have a helping hand though hopefully KZread videos like this also help out with the progress if you got nobody around. Will be coming out with some more videos in the next weeks just been busy working. Keep it up and let me know where your at in your progression! Got foiling yet?

Hey Tom! Learning on KZread is one of the ideal ways to practice before and after a session since there is so much content out there! When I started 2 years ago +/- I used some of the earlier videos to get the basics and then with time refined and put it all together. If you have the chance to get some pointers by other rides with more experience or hire a coach/instructor for a few hours you can definetly get lots of progress in that way as well. If you are planning to come down to Cabarete let us know! We have had various KZread Viewers visit us here in Cabarete wether just to ride and or learn to ride! Send me an email and we can get in touch - can give some pointers on where to stay/etc... Fall is a great time especially if you are flexible. Keep an eye on the wind/wave forecast and you can find some great times. Anything above 10-12knots will work and usually we are around 15/18 knots with some moments being 20-25+. Bottom line is we have conditions for a good time year round! Lots to do both on and off the water. Warm and windy regards Tom, CO

I'm almost 61 and ... Picked up a new toy (second hands) as an early birthday, Christmas, New year, gift to myself. Each time I see these video on KZread I really got that feeling of wanting to experience it myself to fly over the water on a foil. As my previous windsurfing run dates already something like 40y ago ... As I never did ; wave surfing, wake boarding, kite surfing, snowboarding, ... I know it will be a challenge. It looks easy and smooth on KZread but reality seems waaaaay different. And as I don't like cold weather (and cold water) the days of good weather with wind are limited here on the lake. But if you wish to do it and don't try it ... you loose and maybe will regret of never tried. . Now waiting for good weather conditions to get out for the first time with this setup.

Why take wing leash off returning to beach? If ya hit by wave wing might blow away? Very helpful video love the detail thanks

@charlesosterlund7303

Жыл бұрын

Hey Tobin! Thank you for commenting and watching :). I believe I mention you want to remove the board leash from yourself incase a wave hits you and you let go of board on impact so it doesn't drag you / tangle with you. You can keep the wing leash on and keep wing high on way out to avoid it getting taken by a wave. Generally though if conditions are extreme you must adjust accordingly and also to your spot.

Balz attaches his kite leash loosely to his waist so he can throw his kite around without tangles like you get when you pass your wing from hand to hand behind your back.

Various ways though using your wing as leverage to engage your core while bringing wing over to other side to turn and face other direction is a way to explain it in words….
