I've spent countless hours over the years trolling the internet, watching every video of shaping, design and construction I can possibly find. And what strikes me is how radically different he is. No one else is doing what he's doing.

Such a happy man! I've never heard him speak before, it's a blast of positive energy! A real waterman.

His job is not a job. Happiness and positivity formula!!!

8:45 useful footstrap tip on being tight on sides but still giving room for the foot to twist when things go wrong

You've got to love this guy! Thanks for inspiring me/us and all the positive energy, creativity and "go-play" mentality you bring about.

what a refreshing change in crazy times like ours. Positivity, Fun, Dedication - gotta love it🙌

Best part is when he said "lose some weight and you can ride a smaller board". Love it.

I really enjoyed watching this episode and listening to the conversion. Even though foiling is an individual activity, it’s truly a social sport that people can experience from all perspectives. Thank you both for sharing! 🙌🙌

This is what i call a nice person! Nice to see that he uses equipments that someone would say are not for pros. Congrats for this interview!

Great video! Very useful chat on this evolving sport. I like seeing nice people having fun and sharing their knowledge

Awesome, love the energy and stoke 🤙

Good interview guys! Balz is such a likeable dude :)

Loved the long format vid!

Thank you for the video!! We love Balz!❤

thank you so much for this amazing video!! 🙌

Such a great inspiration! Breaks it down to the basics - stop being picky about material go ride and enjoy!

Balz is the best!

The WL1350 is a gamechange in lightwind. Endless Wingfoiling, pumping easily through the lulls...

Balz is such a great embasador for wind sports. Thanks so much for sharing the stoke and information. I ride sabfoil and agree the 799 is awesome and the 999 completes the quiver.

Hey Ted. I’m interested in the 799 and 999. I weigh 180 and have my jibes down but not tacks (yet). Think the 799 may be too unstable for me? In the San Francisco Bay there are lots of days of 18 mph + winds. Thanks for your thoughts. I use a SabFoil 950 with a 370 stab primarily now.

The 799 is an easy and stable foil to use, Kelly (which you may have seen is quite a few of our videos) loves it, and she’s got her jibes down and now working on tacks. wingfoilprocenter.com/collections/foil/products/sabfoil-wm799-front-wing-medusa-799

It’s such an amazing foil! kzread.info/dash/bejne/lJlplrOsgrScm5c.html wingfoilprocenter.com/collections/pump-foiling/products/sabfoil-front-wing-leviathan

Awesome 👏

Easily one of the best, better than 90% of all foilers, gets all his stuff for free, worries more about durability and longevity than weight and trend.

Question: what is the order that I should learn tricks in? I am eager to learn but I don’t want to overprogress in some areas and not others.

we all love the crazy overhead rotations, but don‘t underestimate the dancing/carving flatwater moves.. so starting with carving then sliding 360 variations to eventually jump frontside 360

Balz is great!

Does anybody knows how much Balz Muller weights ?

@DamienLeroyYouTube

2 ай бұрын

I believe 70-75kg

to be Swiss he is very nice and open, however he is absolutely right about everything: pro winger, board that weighs 10 kg, average front appearance and easy and fun equipment; Fifty-year-old Sunday winger, super light full carbon board rigorously under its own weight, front with a very high aspect and sharp as a Japanese katana; and it does nothing, in fact it complicates life by always blaming the equipment

The 799 is the best foil sabfoil has!

Agreed! :)

Had the pleasure of meeting Balz in Cabarete D.R. with Team Edelweis , he is a great spokesman for this sport he is like a diabetic in a candy shop. Go Radilico!

My wife was so annoyed … I was at the Alaska event where Damien was when I got a dear John message. It started with “ you snd your Fkn kiting , I’m moving out !” I was distraught Only one thing helped . I pumped up and up kited 😂

Super usgrüschtet Balz👍

This foil has washout which any designer worth their salt would include. Many of these foils ignore the basics of fluid dynamics.

Thank you! Great review! Love my 799+945+1350 setup :)
