Weight limit? Im 290
@hawaiiefoil
@hawaiiefoil Ай бұрын
Sorry so slow to respond. 300lbs is the posted weight limit, but it really depends on you. I have trained riders heavier than 300lbs, and they did great. You will need the largest board, the largest foil, and the standard propellor to provide you the maximum opportunity to learn. After you learn, "largest" is not necessary. As long as you have good speed for stability, and good control of your weight shifting, you should be fine.

Hi Alika, I hope you can help me with some size problems for my new efoil board. On this moment a have a 111L board, and its easy to rode. But I want 2 go more into carving and that kind of stuff. So I want 2 go smaller with the board. What is the smallest board that I can get into with 86 kg (190 pound) and still be able to waterstart but have al the + features of having a small board? Some say a 85Liter board is the smallest I should go 2, but what is your experience? Thanks for your help, Ronald from the Netherlands.
@hawaiiefoil
@hawaiiefoil 4 ай бұрын
Aloha Ronald! Great question. With your efoil, you have TONS of power, so you don't need a large board; you just need enough forward movement to create stability. At 190lbs, you can literally ride the smallest board on the market, which is 4'2" from Lift, and 4'4" from Flite. The difficulty with smaller boards is that the board responds to your weight shifting very quickly as it is much smaller than you. With enough speed, and proper use of your body weight, you should practice skimming the board on your belly, then hands and knees, and back to your belly. When you can keep the board level in transition, then try to get to your feet. The issue is your control of your weight so you don't sink or skyrocket the nose as you transition to your feet. My advice is to go as slow as you can, while still achieving stability by accelerating the board. Once you are standing up, it is simple to accelerate to your desired speed. I hope this helps. Aloha.

@hawaiiefoil
@hawaiiefoil 5 ай бұрын
Aloha! The turning of a foil board is a bit different than you expect because the control surface is 3 feet underwater on the foil, not the rail and tail of the board. So you need to use your entire body, not just your feet. In this video, we talk about rolling your shoulder like an airplane or bird to the side you want to turn towards. A better way that we now use is "Look & Lean". Look where you want to go, and let your body fall toward that look. The trick is to keep your body stacked properly... head over shoulders over hips over feet without bending at the waist (common error). Bending at your waist is incorrect because your head and shoulders will go towards one side of the board while your hips go towards the other side (trying to maintain balance). On land, it should feel like your are falling as pressure builds in your heels or toes. Try it and tell us what you think. Mahalo. Alika

For me, I had to think turn with my hips instead of shoulders. I think it ended up meaning the same thing, but thinking hips made it easier for me, Great vid. I love that you showed both the problems and the solutions. What brand of foil is Donovan riding? Size and wings? Thx
@hawaiiefoil
@hawaiiefoil 5 ай бұрын
You are correct! The hips are where the control is for both roll control and pitch control. Donovan is on a Lift3 4'9" with something underneath. The foil doesn't matter for Donovan as he can ride anything. He is only 130 lbs, standing 6ft tall. Your foil choice should match your weight, experience level, and riding conditions. Flat water riding is less challenging than ocean wave riding. Let us know if you need help selecting the best foil for you. Aloha! Alika

Efoiling is the easiest way to get into foiling in general. Now that you have the foiling part down, you just need to learn how to "sail" with a wing. If you have kiting or sailing experience, that helps. If not, find a friend who can help you to catch the wind with your sail. One other tip... GO BIG! Big board, Big foil, Big wing. That way you can actually stand on the board and have a chance of catching the wind. Good luck winging and enjoy the efoil when the wing foil kicks your butt.

these cost more than a jetski, insane price for a few 2x4s and a motor
@HealthFitnessHappiness808
@HealthFitnessHappiness808 7 ай бұрын
You're correct that these efoils are expensive. Jet skis cost $7k - $22k according a quick Google search while Efoils cost $7k - $15k. They are not in the same category by a long shot, but each definitely provide fun on the water. You clearly don't have a grasp of the construction of either the efoil or the jet ski. The last time I saw a few 2x4 motoring at 20-60 mph on the water, they were strapped to a hobie cat, and the weathered plywood decking was losing its red paint. Each to his own. Aloha.

Touch 'n Go is how we teach students to learn to control the pitch of the foil and board. The trigger can also affect this as it controls the speed and therefore the lift generated by the foil. It is WAY EASIER to fix your speed, and then use your hips to control the nose attitude up/down.
