I noticed you were using a small blade Chinook. Is this your regular DWSUPF paddle or did you borrow it? The small blade didn't seem to affect your pop up and probably allowed for a faster cadence. Great that you kept you edit short (who has time to watch 20 minutes of DWing!)
@justthewingtips5 ай бұрын
I’m using the 96 stroke. I bought because it’s cheap, I don’t have to take care of it and it works really well. I tried it compared to the code paddle and Ono Ava 105 and it’s about in between those two on the size. So cadence to power ratio was perfect for me

Hey what's the difference between the 178 and the 220? I'm considering buying a used set and has the 220 tail and it's actually a 1210 front wing on a 75 cm mast. I'm going to be riding behind the boat and I'd like to ride the waves and pump around a little bit if possible. Maybe even pop out of the water with some straps! I'm 175 lb. Anything you can tell me would be so helpful 🙌

You need wind or waves to surf or downwind foil. But, there are many people that run off docks and use them in flat water.

Great video! Really appreciate your input and tips🤙. I am a similar weight to you and have been struggling with prone on my 1550v2 no worries if I’m on an SUP it occurred to me after your video that I may have too much surface area. Do you suggest I go 1250/925 or switch to another brand?” Since down winding is my ultimate goal too.
@justthewingtips2 жыл бұрын
No need to switch brands. 1550 will get you down winding no problem. But if you are going to go all in with Downwind eventually you'd probably want the 1125 or put in the time to learn to read bumps with the 1550 and go for the 925. Also mess with the tail shims and you could probably reduce some of the lift from the 1550.

Love the video thanks. technique you are using is very similar to what i've been trying. I'm at the point where i often land decent, glide, get a few pumps and sink. Had a couple where i pump out and get about 10 or 15 seconds. I am using a small board (94cm Axis tray) just cause its what i have from kitefoiling. Very little volume. Would I be better off with a board with some volume? I sometimes feel im coming off foil with speed and might be able to pump out if board was more bouyant. I'm about 70kg, probably around 8 dock sessions, and lots of kite and wing foil experience. What size/volume board would you recommend? Thanks, Mike
@justthewingtips2 жыл бұрын
You may be able to recover from a touch down easier with a larger surf foil board but I would say there is no reason to get one just for dock starts. The tray foil boards are ideal for handling them while running and pumping.

@@justthewingtips Ok thanks so much. Glad I just stuck with the tray. Much more consistent now and it really is a dream to run with, pump, and manage getting back up for another try.

Generally speaking I feel like jumping and having a time when you stop applying pressure on the foil is making things way harder. (And I learnt just the way you do there). I think of you manage to learn more on the board while you run and walk on the board without jumping and keeping your hand in place until you feet are settled would make things easier because you would be able to run faster and conserve much more of that initial speed. On the video I feel like you manage to overcome the difficulty of this launch because your stubborn enough and your very advanced pumping skill. Note that it's easier to lean on shorter boards while running. It's not a comparable context but just to be sure you get my point kzbin.info/www/bejne/bl6te2mfhbaGr9U Did you try that ?
