I still remember like it was yesterday. Conca D'Oro June 2020 on a lightwind day. Manfred Rassweiler, CEO of the Pryde Group came to me and said "Andy, I know you hate foiling but just give it a try. Just go out and try yourself"!
I gave it a try and I got hooked immediately! I loved that feeling to fly over that beautiful Lago di Garda. I loved that new challenge to go fast straigt away! The problem is the same like in downhill skiing. Its super easy to go fast but to keep it under full control is the biggest challenge. That's why that clip is a kind of a Crash Compilation of the past year, especially in the beginning. There where many more fails but the clip got too long :)
Finally, since about half a year I got it mostly under control. The speed was already pretty good last year, sitting in 6th position in the World Speed Ranking at the moment:
www.gps-foilsurfing.com/defau...
Especially in light and gusty winds, the foils are much faster. But I think its not only the matter of speed. Its that feeling to fly completely quiet over the water. Now working on the jibes, especially on the norrow speed jibes! I think there is lots of potential in here.
And, of course that 40 knots barrier! Still a long way to go but Nico Goyard will break it soon anyway.

Hi Andy, I was hoping you could answer some of my questions, I am considering buying the go pro 9 for windsurfing, the head mount perspective looks good with slalom gear, you can see a good amount of the board, sail and the ocean, but I’m wondering how the head mount perspective is with wave gear? Are you happy with the footage you get?

@AndyLaufer 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, yes its really good. Actually in waves you can also use the "flymount" on the mast and boom front and end. Alwas use superview. Cheers

What caused the crash at 1:48 and how do you prevent it? I've had it happen a few times

@davidebalzarotti7162 3 жыл бұрын

on the foil you want to close the sail on the back of the board to create pressure on the stabiliser and to put your body weight more on the front to create pressure on the front wing in order to make he foil work as hard as possibile, but if you go to high and the wings slice the surface of the water they lose efficiency (due to air density equal to 1/1000 times less than the water density) and if your balance is over the front wing than you will "reverse wheelie", so your board will point the water and impact on a very raked position, slowing you down instantly and catapulting you. So, if the foil reaches its height limit, put your body weight on the mast, you will land with the back of the board first than the front (so no falling) and you will start flying soon :) If you manage to train more, you will also be able to let the wings gain drag before you touch the water but that's not easy at all

Hi! Just curious, how will you rate the safety of wind foiling overall? Do the catapults hurt? Thanks so much!
