    Amazing how far this sport hasn't really come....I got my first lesson in Maui back in 2013. I was taught on a Cabrinah but went with Naish because I liked the unique look of it. Still have that 15m too lol maybe only 5 sessions at best on it. And looks brand damn new.

    I am not sure friend on the 4'2 Blowfish. I do know people using the 4'2 with the 4'9 blowfish and they just cut the bottom a hair to fit the mast and get a little creative on the straps but they are loving it.

    Thank you for this video! I have a question for you: I kiteboard, surf, and wakeboard, but I've yet to wing, and my wife is a complete novice/beginner (no watersport experience). I'm trying to figure out a setup that will work for both of us to learn on. I know it's not ideal, but I'm trying to save some money. I'm 6'0 190lbs (86kg) and she is 5'4" 120lbs (55kg)... This is the setup I have in mind: Board 88-90L, Foil 72-75, Front wing 1850, wing 5.0... Conditions at our spot are deep water and wind 10-20 knots most days, 30-40 days are relatively frequent but we won't go out then. Thank you in advance

  • @DamienLeroyYouTube

    88-90L board is way too small in my opinion. I would recommend this setup with the 110L board, 1900 foil kit and 5m wing: wingfoilprocenter.com/products/afs-access-wingfoil-pack?_pos=1&_psq=access&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    Gwen, this advice helped a lot with my chronic back foot over-emphasis. However, as I jibe into switch stance I find I have to work twice as hard to maintain front foot pressure. As I ride switch and pick up speed I can just feel my weight shifting back, rendering a foot switch impossible. Any suggestions?

    Hey Gwen, nice review. How would you compare to the Cab H series, in particular regarding the low end? I've been learning to SUP DW on the 1050 (my goto wing foil) and having trouble staying on foil longer than a few minutes at a time... wondering if I'm missing out on foils that have 'easier' low end than the cab. Thanks

    Nice review. I ride 975 with piuma 86 mast and f652 for winging. It is fast and fairly turny for the great glide and low end it has. For a larger winger on a mid length narrow strapless board that mostly want turn burn on smaller swell in light to moderate wind this foil is the real deal.

    hey. i am thinking about this setup as well. Not sure about 652 vs 702 fuse. I am more of a lake winger with less waves/swell and lower winds. Also what backwing do you use? Also what do you think of 86 piuma mast vs old 83mk mast?

    Do the old 980 Razor (I think featured here) and the new pro finish 980 Razor have the same dimensions? Comparing the new 980 Pro with the 975 Pro, the difference in thickness seems quite small actually (17.8 vs 16.7 mm)… the difference in volume is 7 percent… 🤔 just wondering… I ride the new 980 on my lake per your recommendation Gwen and I love it! Thanks!

  • @DamienLeroyYouTube
    @DamienLeroyYouTube5 күн бұрын

    975 and 1260 have a different program really, 975 is more playful for winging, sup foiling, prone foiling… 1260 is designed flat water pumping, amazing gilde, but not necessarily turning. So it’s hard to compare them as they both excel in different applications

    Agree but I have the 980 Razor now for prone but I'm 85-90kgs and sometimes I find the 980 too undersized for small waves. What could the next size up / wing be? I was thinking the L1160 Pro could be the next logical choice?

  • @DamienLeroyYouTube
    @DamienLeroyYouTubeКүн бұрын

    Actually I would recommend the 1260, the Leviathan Pro are much more technical to ride than the Razor or Leviathan, so I would recommend the bigger one in your case: wingfoilprocenter.com/products/sabfoil-leviathan-pro-1260?_pos=1&_psq=1260&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    The Razor and Razor Pro line is T6 connection and the WO 940 is T8 so you will need a different fuselage: wingfoilprocenter.com/products/sabfoil-f713k-fuselage-713-t6-r8?_pos=1&_psq=713&_ss=e&_v=1.0 or wingfoilprocenter.com/products/sabfoil-f653k-fuselage-653-t6-kms?_pos=1&_psq=653&_ss=e&_v=1.0

    975 is a vastly different than the 940. 940 is a rocket for wave riding, 975 is a chill downwind machine. Maybe check for a 909 medusa pro and keep your current fuse?

    GR8 video thanks. So how can I choose between the SAB 980 and the 1350 for super light wing foiling . I currently have the SAB 945 and love it as an all-rounder but really want to do more light wind wing foiling. Which is easier to pump up and which one will glide through the lightest wind . I am an experienced Kite foiler for years but only intermediate wing foiler. Thanks ~ Paul

The pull limit, the auto tension out of the way and the handy clip at the clew in the boom bladder and velcro closed folding area, great practical ideas showing some time testing and revising. I haven't been much interested in riding harnessed but I csan really see the apeal of the auto snugged version of harness lines.
