I do actually windsurf (occasionally) but I haven't really found a set of conditions which I'd prefer it over the other disciplines. Could just be my personal level in this sport though

I’ve just bought one after a demo session. Upgrade from F-One Phantom 1280 FCT. Great reviews and a fair price (for a really well engineered carbon setup) got me interested. Two sessions so far - one in waves, one flat. Delighted with my purchase. Finally understand the importance of glide. It goes 2.5 knots faster than the phantom, but more importantly made it so much easier to carry speed when flagged out on a fat wave at Hayling and I didn’t even notice that I was doing tip breaches into tacks. (Didn’t even know I could). Highly recommended for anyone that has learnt to gybe and tack. Well done AK - this is a serious challenge to the big name foil brands.

@BenCJF 2 ай бұрын
Good topic and explanation but missing 2 factors: 1. the upward lift that the wing generates helps remove some of the rider weight. 2. the increased buoyancy of sea water also would amount to ~2L of volume for an 80L board. I'm 77kg and find on my 80L that i can float feet dry even in very light breeze on lakes, and of course more so on the sea, making it the sweet spot for a 1 board quiver.
@philiptuffs-wh7jp 2 ай бұрын
Found your content good . I am still new to wing foiling and use Armstrong kit with no shim on stab that gives max lift , have just bought a 70 fuse to help pitch stability but find even small movements it feels very loose . The stab is 232 with a ma foil any ideas on set up or me to calm things down .
@PeteJonesF6 2 ай бұрын
Longer fuse, bigger stab or even a longer board may help. I'm not super familiar with the Armstrong kit, but it probably just takes practice. You could also try narrowing your foot stance so that your movements are less consequential. Hope this helps

Nice vid Pete. I am about 88kg. I need 18kts+ to sink start my 39L. Knee starting is easier, but I would prefer to sink it. I can only get going if I can get the board to the surface. I was thinking 45L at my weight for prone (mid length) and wing to see if I can going in 15 kts. You think I could sink the 45? My daily driver is a 60L but I can’t sink it easily- too much instability at just below the surface.. thoughts?
@PeteJonesF6 2 ай бұрын
I used to have a 65L and I found that a super nice board all round, never really had any corkiness problems with it even at my weight of 82kg. I think my technique must be different though. I try to avoid sink starting the board, it's just a waste of effort

A cool game, even launched in VR via UEVR. But, why don't the gamepad buttons work in the menu, even though they work in the game? The gamepad is a regular xbox for Windows. You have to make settings in the menu using the keyboard and return to the gamepad again.

@grahamreed8443 6 ай бұрын
Great vid. Would be helpful to touch on what start methods work best to beat the instability that can be frustrating when learning. Also, at what depth of knee riding is more stable vs more corky? I.e. my 60L for my 65kgs is very challenging in choppy conditions. My new 40L is most likely the replacement, with the 85L DW board for everything else.
@PeteJonesF6 6 ай бұрын
Ooh that is a good question. I tend to get up and riding pretty quickly, avoiding any prolonged time bobbing around, plus you can get loads of stability from using your wing/dragging its tip in the water, which helps with buoyancy too. The rodeo stinkbug method is good for stability but i tend not to use it as i often have a 360 camera which would go into the canopy.

@matija3791 6 ай бұрын
Has anybody tried the classical Windsurfing waterstart when riding overpowered conditions? Setting the board 90°C to the water surface, foil mast horizontal, stepping into the foot straps before the foil sinks and using the power of the wing to start from this position directly without the board sinking?
@PeteJonesF6 6 ай бұрын
There is a video or two on that if you do a search. If you do it without sinking the board you need a great deal of wind to pull you up onto it. The technique they have proposed is to sink the board to minimise how much wind it takes to get you over the board, but at that point your board is pretty sunken and then you gotta get it to the surface - which will take some effort.

Nice video! I use a 90l at 73kg naked.. I ride strapless in everything from very gusty marginal 7/8knots to 30knots with it. Id like to have a smaller more reactive board but im unsure I could get away with a smaller board.. hard to pull the trigger when they cost so much.

The market for second hand kit is getting more competitive as people move on to newer shinier kit, keep your eye out and i'm sure you can score a bargain :)

@nikolauslemberski 6 ай бұрын
Same for me (strapless, 73 kg, 80L board for everything). I've also had sinker boards, but they're annoying in gusty conditions. My solution was to invest in a lightweight custom board (4.7 kg for 80 litres). This gives me a more agile, lighter board than most standard sinker boards but with a comfortable volume.

AK have been on my radar for a while, the tracer looks sexy, but the knife edged wing tips are not something you’d want to come into contact with post wipe out. For that reason I’d probably pass. Shame. Good review mate👍🤙

I'd say they're no more sharp than the fins you'd get under any surfboard. It's a legit concern though, but compared to others doubt it would even break the skin.

Hi Tony, this board has more volume than my weight, which will make these techniques as efficient as possible. I think it's a 110l board with me weighing 82kilos. I think it would still work pretty well down to 70 or so litres for my weight
