I'm currently debating between which V3 to go for as a "big" foil. The new FG series is tempting at the price to try a Fluid or Curve. Either one likely to be an XXL.
@christomo
@christomo 7 күн бұрын
@grantmacdonald4838 can't beat the price of the fg. The curve h is a great foil if your conditions are smaller bumps and messy , and the fluid a better choice if the waves bigger and more shape to them and will be a little faster . I've not tried the fg foils yet, so I'm unsure how stiff they will be. The curve h hm carbon ones are very stiff . However, anyone using an aluminium mast i imagine won't really notice any flex from the fg foils, and it might even be a smother ride. Just my opinion, I have to see when they are released . Thanks for watching. Let me know if you buy the fg and your thoughts Thanks for watching

@@christomo my local environment is quite choppy and chaotic, mostly riding slower windswell in the open ocean. Perhaps moving to parawing on my next quiver refresh. But I'm also looking at some of the largest foils in each range and I wonder if the Fluid would keep it playful. My current V1 Veloce H L I find excessively challenging and I'd like something a lot more forgiving. But I'd keep the Veloce for jumping well powered.
@christomo
@christomo 6 күн бұрын
@grantmacdonald4838 The curve will be more manoeuvrable in those conditions with a better rail to rail, especially if you go for a small stab to liven it up. The curve is so easy and will ride as slow as you want, and the top speed is not too bad .Coming from a v1 veloce, you may find the xxl to easy I found the v1 veloce quite hard to get on foil unless it was super windy and loved the easy curve and it's glide bump riding and pumping . The fluid will be faster and still glide well but you will not have as much rail to rail so depending on what you want . Keep in touch will love to hear your thoughts on the fg foils

Your Veloce H XL could be pretty good to start downwinding. I would start with flagging the wing first and go downwind a good amount to learn reading the bumps. Then you can share a wing with an anchor leash with a buddy to take turns downwinding without wing. Once you are very good at reading the bumps you can give the paddle a go with a really long board (8' or more). The Veloce H XL may be big enough. I just ordered the Veloce H L to downwind with foil drive.
@christomo
@christomo 7 күн бұрын
@windaddict yes I can usually flag for a minute or 2 when the bumps align on the v3 veloce xl h, but it has to be 3 to 4 feet . We get a lot of 2 to 3ft days, and it makes a little harder. I can read bumps quite well now, but I need to work on my pump but improving. We haven't had many days to practice last few months has been flatwater on my days off. I will keep trying with foils I have until I improve thaen hopefully I will know what to buy . Thanks for watching commenting and the ongoing support it's appreciated 👏

Hi, love the video's and content. You are a pretty "good" rider (compared to me) and I was wondering why you ride relatively big front foils? I myself am a half decent rider on mostly flat water, 95kg and my biggest foil currently is the Veloce V2 L 1100. To me, bigger foils tend get sluggish very quickly. Just curious why you choose the foils you choose.
@christomo
@christomo 20 күн бұрын
@michielfermie6222 I ride big foils just to get more lift and glide and be able to ride slower to mach the speed of the swell ,with the wave riding and freefly in mind, if I was mostly on flat water I would just ride the ypra and drop sizes for speed and maneuverability. But for me, as it is my flat water days are training days for a wave day, so big foils that I can use on small 2 ft waves are suited to what my main goal is. My next foil will be a 122 cm wide aspect 13 downwind foil, I think I will be able to use it in tiny wind chop . I'm very strong on my legs I do not find them hard to turn or any draw backs .

Hey Chris! Thanks for all your videos! I am still on my Gong v1 beginner kit (I’m 90-93 kg), foiling but still working on consistency and gybes…. Ever since the v3 kits were announced, I had thought they looked really good and worth investing in. Now that I am ready to upgrade and fully invest in my foil system, I have wondered if maybe I should consider any of the other options. Still, Gong is such massive value though. Can you speak to the overall quality and performance vs the others you’ve tried? I know I wouldn’t know the difference at my current level, but that changes quickly. Also, I am planning on the Curve 3xl for my lightwind foil (10 -13kts is avg at my beach). Thoughts? Looks like you are happy with the Veloce xl for better conditions, I may do the same. Cheers mate! Peace and love from Canada.

@lazer2997 thanks man for kind words The gong systems are very good the v3 is really good I think axis are amazing foils and exceptionally good quality but far to pricey for me the carvon mast is just not in my budget so I have stayed with gong and don't feel I'm missing much I cam try 2 front wings for the price of 1 axis . I currently use xxl curve v2 for light and veloce xl v3 for everything else as you know . So I think the xxxl curve will work well for you . Gong seems to have grown as a brand and have quality products as good as other brands IMHO I do buy other gear as well if the quality and price point are there . If you can try first it would be good 👍 hope that helps some it's always hard to commit as it's expensive to switch systems however we will all be on something quite different in 5 years from now imo Thanks again chris 👍

Alright, Chris. Great video mate 👍 The music works really well and all the shots are great 👍 On a side note. As I'm watching this video it has over 70 thumbs up, which are almost 10% of your views. That is a MASSIVELY high percentage of thumbs ups vs views. So why is this video not ranking? Seriously, that 10% positive response is exactly what KZbin say you should be striving to get, in order to prove the video is popular. I'm lucky to get 2 or 3%. You mentioned in the video that you'd had 4 weeks off and that KZbin would probably be a c..t about it. Well, you never said c..t but that's how it translated to me 😆 I have been meaning to do a video about that exact same thing, the fact that KZbin penalise you when you take any kind of a break. I have experienced this on three channels and one of them, my gaming channel, is hyper focused on one thing and it also suffered when I took three weeks to catch back up on my main channel. Seriously, for me with Warzone Mobile on my gaming channel and you with your windsurfing, both of which are hyper focused. There's no way that anyone into those things would suddenly lose interest just because you had a break, as the content is still going to be what the viewers expect. I really need to have a rant about this on my vlogging channel. I appreciate that you aren't necessarily trying to make money out of KZbin, like I am trying. However, that has f..k all to do with wanting to see your time and energy in producing your videos, rewarded with some growth that reflects what YOU have put into it. Anyway, I hope to do some videos on my vlogging channel before Christmas, I'm just tying to revive my main channel after KZbin pushed me further down the food chain when I took a break to get my gaming channel monetised (which was a total waste of time 😆). Take care buddy and catch up soon. Cheers, Dave.

Hey Chris. Hope you are doing well. Have not seen any videos in a while so I hope everything is ok!!! What do you think about the V3 set up since you have been using it a while? I have a lit bit of a dilema: seems like if I am going to stay with Gong i will have to update everything. there are not parts anymore to mix V2 with V3. very limited selection on the V2. I got to use an Armstrong MA1475 on a downwind run and it was awesome. I have the Armstrong A+ setup already (picked up a used one at a good price). But, if i am going to stay with Armstrong I think my next purchase would be the Performance (high modulas) mast which is about $1500 just for the mast or if I want to go to new foils/masts with Gong the complete V3 setup would run about $1600.

@stephens.9748 I'm loving it. the carbon mast is stiff, and the veloce v3 is easy as the curve h for me is not quite as good on low end but not far off overall a very good upgrade I will change everything to v3 as I can afford it . Gong has matured very well the new fuse saves all the problems the v2 had with screws . Hard decisions try if you can . I did a video this week.in it I'm riding the v3 so much more glide .

I am not a good pumper myself but I have another thing to try. I used to put my weight into pushing the nose down, but learning from others, I now put my weight in pushing on the mast, indeed on the downward part of the pump. It is like squatting on the board.

Good job for prone foiling you are already as good as me 😂 what setup were you using ? Axis armstrong ? Pumping is harder than we think sometime i dont want to think about it 😅 as for free fly i usualy get outrun by the wave with my 1400 not the other way around, maybe your foil is too quick and mine too slow 😊

@youdigsurf the prone foil part is some other guys, but they're getting very good. Part of my organisation is starting to write down foils position and using the best foil for the speed of wave. I can go faster than wave easy on most foils . This time, I outran the wave and needed to go along it to stay in the power part instead of just running into the flat . It's all good learning 👌 Thanks for watching,

Another great video, thanks Chris. You have some really nice unbroken swell lines coming in there to ride. Great drone work too... I appreciate all the work you put into these, and I must try that technique of really pushing downthe nose on the pump cycle. Good winds 🏄

@glimpseireland2005 Yes, it was the key for me to generate more speed. I now feel like I'm starting to understand projecting forward, swinging arm helps but time on the water is key good luck
