а со змеем от кайт- серфинга не быстрее будет ?? ))

Looks sooo fun. What's the bottom end like on that 720s? Doesn't look like it's all that windy in your vid- how easy to get going? I'm 95kg, just got the 980S as my first code, stoked on it, its range... thinking about next one likely the 720S or maybe the 850s for higher wind, bigger conditions.

Siiiiiiick boys!!

Epic footage!

What where the wind conditions? Knots ect..

Love it! Could I ask what stabiliser and fuselage you used?

How much wind do you need for such a tiny wing?

Such a little board! How much do you weight? :)

Epic day and footage 🎉

Hey Derek, looks like you may be on a different board now but I’m tossing up between the 85 or 95 Dyno v3, and would appreciate your thoughts. I’m 70-72kgs and mostly sail at McCrae cross on wind swell and would like to get into waves also. I have been on an old starboard 105 which I use in 18-25 and have a 135 for cruising and learning new moves. What is the wind range of the 85? And what sails would you mostly use. Thanks mate.

I was sitting on the point watching all this. 2 take aways 1 - The video does not show how high he was getting 2 - i was amazed how quick he went from cruising to fast to get ready to launch.

this is the good stuff!

yewwwwww!

Does the 82 feels faster then the 77

Looks like sanding and pricking the xps would probably give the best results based on your results. I'd try that next if you haven't already mate.

I shaped and glassed a prone foil board constructed of XPS (pink panther foam board from home depot). It lasted just 1 year until the deck started delaminating under my front foot. I had full deck traction pad. It seems all the front foot pumping pressure accelerated the delamination process. Oddly, the rear foot area didn't suffer any delamination. I have 2 vents installed and I always stored the board inside the garage. I used to drive a hatchback with the board inside the car, but recently I started going to the beach in my truck and the board would be in the bed. The drive is 30-60 minutes to the water, depending on which beach I go to. So the board would be exposed to direct sunlight during travel times. I suspect the additional heat could have played a small part but the board was always deck facing down. There was absolutely no delam on the bottom or anywhere else on the board.

Glide looks amazing Derek, I'm assuming at 85 kg I should get the 980.

Now both gears will wear out. but slower? why not just make teh gears biggger and from plastic?

hey, great session !!! Is H800 noticeably faster than H1000 ?...is it ok /H800/ for a 85 kg rider in your opinion...Thanks !!!

Hey Derek. Where is Western Port??

Cruel music....

Hey! Would you still recommend that board after 2 years? I get the chance to buy it used for about 800 usd... (80l). Because I want to downsize from a 120l board.

Niiice mate!

Nice shots what settings did you use for the GoPro?

Where’s the sound track? 😮😀😀

Yewwww!!!

I'm pretty sure a more aggressive grit like 40 followed by a dusting and wipe down with alcohol would double the adhesion.

That’s sick mate good work 👍👍

Noticed you were on axis previously.. saw you make some great posts on the negative shims. Why have you changed?

Coool Video!!! super realistic how it really looks like sometime! Pure Fun!

How long does the battery typically last? My GoPro can handle a 2-3 hour session if I only record the waves I ride and then shut it off. Lately, it's been about 1-2 hour sessions since foil rides are so long... Most rides are 2-3 minutes so I figured the Go 2 wouldn't have enough battery...

Derek that looks amazing, I'm looking at upgrading my foils from GONG and this looks like the one for all, 4m in 15knts Iam always out on the slick 6.5m for that wind, can I ask how much you weigh, Iam 84kg for reference.

Mung bean

Sweet video! What was the wind strength that day, and what wind range does the H1000 suit for downwind runs?

On the 1099 it says: "Not designed for jumping". The 999 has no such sign?

I just bought my first severne fox 140 but i still could not decide for the sail. I weigh 185 pound and average wind as I can see is 16mph currently. What size sail do you recommend for Severne NCX?

sick edit

👍🏻

I didn't see you dust of the 80grit. The dust could have caused the patches of bad adhesion. An 80 grid dust free surface combined with pin pricks woul be another interesting sample, I could imagine it beating all others.

Thanks for sharing 👍

Derek, do you use the Dyno with a single fin? If so, what type and size? Just taking delivery of a 115 and want a blasting option as well as the thruster set up. Thanks, Rob.

Is that Port Philip Bay? Brighton in Melbourne? Nice vid but doesn’t really need the music. The sound of the wind and boards planing over the chop is enough.

What fuse lenght are you using?

I suspect that my helical gear shaft may be damaged, in your video, it comes out very easily when you pull out the gear. Do you know how you originally got it out, did you just have to apply a lot of force?

Great musical timing

Looks like a fun day amongst mates - all sending it.

What is your weight riding the 77

Great to see everyone out, keep up the great work with the fun videos and commentary. Reminds me what to look forward to when returning to Melbourne at some stage.

What a nice playground!

I dig that air jibe in the beginning. I am hoping to nail those down soon. Great edit!
