My pleasure! Thanks for the support

My pleasure. Glad you like it

That's awesome! It's always exciting to go out there and try something new. Have fun on the water and good luck 🤙

Hope the video helps. It still stays a lot of practise though 😅

Hey Nils, good choice! If you've been wingfoiling you'll be completely fine. Just get yourself a foil with a front wing size of ±1200cm and ±80cm mast. From there you can just start trying. Make sure to watch some tutorials on the start etc.

Hey Dominic, happy you like the video! It's filmed in Squamish, British columbia, Canada. The spot is mind blowing when you ride there. Personally I always ride the 1000cm, it's a bit faster and more reactive. I would make the choice depend on your weight and progression curve. < 75kg = 1000cm < 90kg and a good feel for sports = 1000cm >75 and slow learning in sports = 1250cm Hope this helps!

@@stevenakkersdijk thank you for the fast reply and the helpful information. the 1000cm it is then :) looking forward to your upcoming Master classes, cheers

My pleasure

Hey David It's for sure possible to gybe from 45 to 45 when you've already been riding on a downwind course. The important part is that you found a stable kite position on that downwind course (where it sits deeper in the wind window). From there you can initiate the gybe with the board and steer the kite in a downloop 1-2 seconds later. It will be important to do the downloop gybe as a normal gybe won't be easy.

It does work very different indeed. But I do think it makes it slightly easier as you already understand the movement. (vs a twintip rider who has never done a tack like that)

Hey David. Thanks for your comment. I'm happy that you're managing to do the gybe on the low aspect wing. In general the low aspect wings are a bit slower / have more drag than the high aspect wings which makes the timing a bit less important. The downloop gybe should work better on the high aspect wings. I would love to cover all the technical parts on HA vs LA and how to optimize the downwind tack. But its low in my list on videos to make in the near future, there just isn't enough request for it atm. But ill see how these foil videos perform and I'll probably cover it somewhere next year. Going downwind is hard on the foil. And unless you create enough apparent wind like the racers you'll be stuck to riding downwind with a course similar to the upwind, or worse. I can't recommend looping, drift is probably your best bet

Get a foil kite like Sonic 3. If you sheet the bar in almost all the way it backstalls the kite allowing WAY more drift than any inflatable will allow. You can go pretty much go straight downwind with line tension.

Also keep the kite low while going downwind. It will almost be touching the water.

This was filmed at squamish, British Columbia

Mainly depends on your timing of the loop vs when you steer the board downwind. If you go downwind early enough you could loop ot from 45 degrees down no problem.

Where in the video do I say this that you find it weird?

Thank you! Cheers!

I'm always foiling on 16m lines, but for most of these tricks its easier to have 22m lines.

Its Squamish in British Columbia, Canada. Awesome spot, but access will be hard next year
