I did get a package from MACkite from your video and link earlier this summer and I swear I used your code and later I noticed it didn't have the bonus robe and so I contacted them and they said I hadn't used your code ( I swear I did) but were great folks and sent the robe and then shortly after, the whole package was on sale for $200 bucks off.

Nice video Devon - love it. Couple quick things: 1) The Whip actually comes with a pad that you put on in that back foot area - either the hump or flat. It may have got stuck in the box. 2) Strength doesn't equal stiffness --- OR did you find that it did. For example - we typically find the dwarfcraft to have more flex due to the materials than the whip (carbon) but I love your break test (what an expensive test!). We've done riding tests (Whip vs. Dwarfcraft) with 10+ riders with the same outcome each time (preference of WHIP over dwarfcraft) for riders who are pumping and carving on material size waves. I've also had a couple (Susky boys in PA) who have stuck with the dwarfcraft because they don't pump a bunch so don't see the benefit. --> Did you get results based upon material (carbon vs. glass composite)? --> Did break test equal stiffness in pumping? All the best - Tim
@WakeThief
@WakeThief Жыл бұрын
Thank you, Tim! The breaking strength of Whip really surprised me. I was loving this board too, and assumed it was stiffest. But with so many people breaking Dwarfs, we now know that anything less than that breaking force we have to be careful with! 1) I figured the same, and FFB wasn't aware of this pad. Makes sense to me, 2) Most definitely strength doesn't equal stiffness. You can see during the breakage tests. Some were sudden and some were not. Regarding which was best for pumping, there's a sweet spot. Not too stiff and not too flexible. This is where we're diving into next. Thanks for the comment. I hope you're well!

Thanks for all the videos and info. I've never done foiling before, but pump-foiling peaked my interest so I watched a lot of your videos. I was able to pick up a Liquid Force Nebula 3'8" coupled with a Slingshot FPump V1 for ~ $1,000 (online sales). That seemed to be the cheapest I could get into this sport, and I suspect it will suit me well based on your reviews. I'm gonna try foiling for the first time next weekend. I'll be dock launching with a friend. If I enjoy it, but find it too tiring, then I may also explore a DIY electric-assist option. I'm a unicyclist, and a pump foil seems a lot like a unicycle for the water to me.

My only negative so far is that it is designed for KiteHydroFoil (ride at faster speeds) and I find I Wakefoil with the mast positioned at the furthest point forward in the tracks. I would like to see the tracks placed a little further forward or longer tracks in the board. This is something you didn’t comment on in your analysis
@WakeThief

Good point. Thank you. We always placed the foil and the loading at the same distance relative to the foil track. Foil track placement does matter, but is something we can't control. I am seeing some newer boards have longer tracks, which will work really well for foils that have a short distance from the center of lift of the front wing to the mast/base plate.

@@WakeThief No problem ! , Keep putting out the great video's, I have learned a ton just by watching your reviews ! I bought your 1150 pkg this spring and it has been awesome ! Such a huge difference over my old Slingshot setup. I'm getting 6 wakes back behind my unweighted 97 Malibu V-Drive.

Yes. It broke at ~340lb. We only showed the results of our top boards in the video, so had to check back on the footage.

Doesn't seem overpriced at all considering how much you'll use them and the materials they're made out of. The beginner packages are only $1k for everything you need and nicer sets get up around the $2.5k mark. You can get a whole package for the same price as a high end graphics card like a 4080 or 4090.

I know! It pained me too, but we decided we had to do it, because everyone had an opinion, but no one had data!

I hear you! Was painful for us too but we needed to try to dispel the hand waving on forums about actual vs perceived board strength.

hi sir, i am a newbie,going to buy axisfoil. i am like 70kg. what’s the difference between progressive and flat rear wing? what would you recommend
@WakeThief
@WakeThief Жыл бұрын
I prefer flat tails for pumping and progressives for carving (progressives have an anhedral shape which accelerated the roll of the foil which initiates turns)
