Haha, great to hear and definitely recommend as there's some similarities to windsurfing in terms of handling the wing. It's still a bit of a process to learn if you don't have the foil experience, but I'm sure you'll be addicted like everyone else if you spend the time getting into it! Opens up a whole new world of fun in average waves and bumps

Thanks mate, appreciate the positive comments. Although its still a bit of a learning process, with the sailing and windsurfing background I'm sure you can figure it out.

@KeahideAboitiz1

@@kshred3043 The main thing that helps is the wind direction as this particular spot is side offshore wind so you are always going slightly into the wind whenever on a wave. In my opinion this is the best direction for wing foiling as it keeps the waves smoother and the wing naturally wants to sit on the best angle. You're also right that I start generating apparent wind especially as the wind can be super up and down here so in the light patches I can ride with it behind me. The Mantis is also a great wing for this as its quite stable on a wave and the stiff front handle also heps a lot with the micro adjustments to keep it flying on the right angle

The H1000 is an awesome intro into high aspect foils for anyone looking for that next level of speed and efficiency coming from a bigger surf wing as it's still very user friendly and stable to ride.
