Maybe it works if you can beach start it with a wing in your arms.. i am writing this literally as driving home from a completey failed session on 1350 with a 5.5m wing at ~9knots. If you are an intermediate level winger - do not underestimate how good is this guy to make it work…

If people only knew how hard this really is

Those beach starts are soooooo clean. Love it.

Nice job, Kelly! That foil looks like a lot of fun

Nice beach start have never seen that before

Very nice! 🙌🔥🔥🔥

I’m 75kg, 7m fone cwc wing and 2200 cm foil was foiling and planing In 8 knots today.

We had just watched a video showing dancing lemurs in Madagascar before this and my wife couldn't help bursting into laughter, and this turned into the funniest video we ever watched together.

tried and tested: use a 1750 and an 8m2 wing - will work also for the less perfect rider in 6-8 knots of breeze

Bonjour Damian Thanks for the information. Love it! Is the shop up and running? And also where are toy flying here? Nice flat water to learn. Thank. Yohan

Hi great videos lots of useful information I have been windsurfing for about 10 years. This year I want to give wing foil a go. I have bought some used equipment. Foil low aspect:- “Gong” Mast length 80cm Front wing XL Wingspan 90cm x 2100 cm² Stab Wingspan: 45 cm X 400 cm² Wing:- “Gong” 5m² I am a little bit undecided about which board to buy? (I am 73kg) I have narrowed it down to two boards. The first is an Inflatable board which I like for traveling being so compact Length: 5’11 = 180.3cm Width: 30″ = 76.2cm Thickness: 5″ = 12.7cm Volume: 135 liters The second is a Hard Board Length: 5’7 = 170,2 cm Width: 31″ = 78,7 cm Thickness: 5″ = 12,7 cm Volume: 120 liters What I would like to know does it makes that much difference to the learning curve inflatable vs Hard Board? From what I have learned from your channel the Big Foil and Wing should be ok?? Thanks

1350 is king for mega light winds but 950 is a shredder when it's at least 9kn - Tucker

could you get up on it from taxi in below 10kt?

I've been using the 1350 for a four months now winging in 10 to 15mph. It's given me 30 extra days on the water this season when I would have been waiting for more wind. So sweet I can use my 5 meter with the KT Dragonfly 105. The 1350 turns really well by heading up wind to bleed off some speed to carve a tight turn. It has spoiled me with its low take off speed. I had the 1150 and 950 leviathan and I was not impressed with the performance my 999 medusa is more fun. Just takes a small swell and no need for the wing. Easy 360's and backwinding also.

👌 pumped to see sabfoil on this Chanel! you guys need to try the razor 820!!

Nice Ride! Stay dry my friend ;)

Nice demonstration! Did you also try the Leviathan 1150? Beach/Dockstart or Winging?

Hey Damien, Great video mate ! Can you please tell me if you think this L 1350 SAB Foil will work with an 85 L Wing Foil board ? Im a Kite foiler for 7 years and now also wing foiling and want a super light wind SAB foil. I currently wing with the SAB 945 and 375 Stabaliser. Thx ~ Paul

En fait, ta Wing, elle est là pour la déco 😂😂😂😂

Would love to see a comparison of this sort of mega-foil with the Horus Libel biplane foil

Nice location. What part of Florida is this? I don't recognize the causeway overpass.

That beach start is about as hard as it gets..

The moment I saw this board I knew it was impossible to waterstart. The foil looks like an Airbus A 380😂😅😊!!! I think I'll need a floater.😢

what do you think: would this work with a 93 mast? and a 430 stab?

May I ask how many KGs you are and how tall are you? I am asking so to use it as a reference. In other words, if I want to have the same stability you are talking about in this video, then what foil/board/wing combination is ideal for me? (I am 179cm and 87 kg).

Hi. What a masterful demonstration, awesome video. But didn't Axis just release data on the new 1201 wing where a guy pumped it for over 3 hours, so isn't that better than 45 minutes? Unless I've missed something in the detail. Regards.

What is the difference between a regular sab W1350 and a leviathan series 1350?

I have demoed the 1350 for windfoiling not winging yet and I was impressed with the result now I wonder if I should go 1350 or 1550 I'm 90 kg thanks for this video

How do you recover if you fall into the water?

Wow

Could you do the same with the Leviathan 1150 ? How much longer can you pump the 1350 to the 1150?

No shipping to Canada?

The world record foil pumping is owned by ERNESTO DE AMICIS.... 45'42"....

What is your weight?

Which fuse are you using?

Great!! But once fallen into he water, it's swimming back!? For all who don't get the beach start done: is a long downwind board with a huge HA Frontwing a light wind solution? Damien: will you test that for the "normal wingfoilers" who might be 80 % of your wingfoil-followers 😀? Thanks!

what's the point? Such a beachstart requires tons of skill. I will kite on any foil in 6kt, with no effort at all.

You are basically beachstart pumpfoiling. Looks you are pushing the wing out for a stroll. Otherwise great video, the Leviathan is awesome. Just make a video where it’s clear the wind is doing something

You should have gone out on a 5.0 or bigger and not pump at all. That would really sell the foil.

A more realistic light wind kit for an average winger is a modern downwind board, an eight meter wing and an 1800+ cm2 wing, will go fine in Florida 6-10 knots, and if/when you fall , you don’t have to swim back in.

You re not wingfoiling using the wind, you re foilpumping....🙅
