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

Cheers Hans! Chatting to yourself in the middle of nowhere is odd 😂 Been seeing some of your nice runs recently!

@@williamnovak. You edited that nicely actually. I'll have to give the talking to yourself thing a go though 🤣. I still can't get out enough as I would like!

That’s the plan once we get some better conditions! We have this massive high pressure system over the country which is killing all the wind
Sick now you’re hooked

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.

@@lorensperber1882 for me I really like the HA1080 for bay run bumps and I wouldn’t go bigger but that’s because I have put some serious hours in on the foil. I also dock start this foil. However if learning to downwind and pump foil then the APF1325 should work well for you. It all depends on your level
If anyone can learn to SUP foil and downwind in a weekend it's you, but you're an exception!
