aloha Stefan, i dont know if you are still windfoiling ? but just like you i also transit from slalom race windfoil gear to freeride gear. I am using the same setup like you slingshot 115 l with phantasm foil. I had a good level on the slalom foil and was able to foil gybe... On the slingshot however i am really struggling, i am noticing you are doing switch stance gybes? strangley i am really strugling taking the sail over in switch stance any tips? thanks ! hope i will be gybing and jumping like you someday looks so much fun.

Hi, nice video. I plan to start foiling and I have oportunity to buy this foil. Do you recommend it?

is hard to believe that it is 5.5-9.5 kt, there are the kites around, and the minimum speed to slide with the kite is 12kt with foil maybe 10. Also, starting a 5m2 sail and 10 kt even downwind is tough but you start to levitate quite fast.

Wow - that's one of the best explanations of windsurf foiling. Myself I never needed a bigger sail than 4.8 on my foil (in Switzerland on an altitude of 500m+) and a 4.1 at sea level. Need 10kn to lift (with a little pumping), 6kn to move on. 90kg rider, 108l MB wildcat on sweet water, 98l on saltwater. 909 Balz pro front wing, 450 stab with 2.5 negativ angle. Only do duck gybes at low windsbecause it's faster. Looks like defeating physics and kind of magic to normal windsurfers, slalom foilers or wingers. Always love to see the stunned faces.

Now use a high performance foil! You will be surprised even more. I use the 108, 98 and the 92 (I was part of the MB-Team) and those are still the best boards I have ever foiled (always wit SAB Foil Balz Pro front wings) AND windsurfed. Also great for Windsurf foiling (only): the Basilisk.

Have you ever tried the 90l version of the wizard?

sick. I am stuck between getting a MA800 or a HA680/780. For 90% of the time I wing. I weigh 68kg and on a 56L board.

I ran my own Windsurfing school and was experienced in the sport prior to founding it I informed my customers that a gybe was easier to perform than a tack -(Duck gybe)- as it is necessary to duck under the rig as it's swinging, and they agreed with me. Although it's beneficial to know how to gybe and tack both turning motions are important to know prior to getting started in it as then you feel more confident and safer whilst out at sea.

Hey, do the Armstrong foils work with the board.. enough track room to move forward?

How do you like the 780 compared to other wings? Does it pump and turn really well? Fast enough? Cheers

Schaut zher stabil und kontrolirbar

how do you connect the Armstrong foil with the north board? because for me the north screws were to big for the arm. mast and the ones from Armstrong felt loose in the rail.

Cheers from alaska. how is your air and water temp? what gloves? i have 780 on order for the windier days.. but i don't get that kind of swell.

Good lyfe yeaaaa

Wie ist 6.5 flux hat er enliches geful wie 5.7 oder wegen grosere grose wenig spanjng

Nice mastery! As you've ridden both 114 and 130 wizard, is it ok for the 114 to carry a goya cypher 5.9 and a 5.2 ezzy cross or should I go for the 130? Thank you so much!

Hello Stefan. I contacted you earlier with a similar question, but I'm still in doubt. I'm currently windfoiling on my freestyle board, which has been adapted to fit an NP Glide wind foil. I can do jibe, duck jibe and sometimes 360, so I wouldn't say I'm a beginner anymore. I saw on Your channel that you also foiled on ordinary boards. My question is, is it worth buying a dedicated foil board? Is the foiling experience much better? I didn't have the chance to try such a board and you are the only person I know who has foiled both on regular freestyle boards and real foil board. I am thinking of buying JP Free Foil 115 which is very similar to your Wizard. Thank you!

Very nice. This is what I need.

Two kitsurfings working the kite a lot but they dont foiling. So… at least 12 knots. But is my opinion;) 12knots i can go with my 39cm fin 116l board and 7.8 sail easy! 80kg

Nice video. This is about where I am in my windsurf foil journey. It gives me encouragement lol

Looking Good Stefan! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah Bud! NIce duck gybes!

Respect, looks fun and beautiful! :)

Hey Stefan, Which foils have you used in the Wizard?

As you say at the end, you must open the sail gradualy as you turn in the gybe to the point that it is clew first when releasing/ flipping the sail. Took me a while to figure out ;-)

Stefan, how does this board compare with others that you may have ridden in the past (in fin mode)? I also see from their website that it is somewhat heavier than other fsw boards of similar volume. To you does the board feel (or felt) heavy? Many thanks.

Front wind is too big !

Hi Stefan, What Fin setup are you using on your MB92 in this session? What area of Sweden(?)? are you foiling? Aloha, José PS very nice videos BTW

Hi Stefan, which fins did you use. 26 / 2x12.5? MB recommend 6cm side fins and 26. I got the 108l

Hello, what size harness lines do you use/recommend?

Look like great fun! Can I ask for how long have you been windfoiling and what's the usual windrange for your kit? Thanks!

Nice video I’m thinking about buying the W799 and I’d like to know the wind range of it, specially how capable it’s on light wind.

Hi Stefan, nice Foil Clips. As I see you have experience with different Foil Setups, I like to ask for advice. I am 83kg, use mostly 4.7 and 5.3 Wavesails with 82L and 106 Thruster Waveboards. I have a Isonic 133L and a Fanatic H9 Foil with 65cm Frontwing, but don't like the bulkiness. I would like to buy a one Board solution. Maybe the MB- WildCat 98L. Also for traveling with one Board and two Sails. Would you recommend this? Or go with a dedicated Foilboard, as is see you often use that Wizard 114. Really appreciate your ideas. Greetings Franz

What was the wind speed? And what about the rider's weight ?

HI. I think you had in the past a goya regular windsurf board for windfoiling and now you have an specific shorter foil board. I'm about to take that step. I'm sure manoeuvrability will be much better but the take off in light winds is better for the bigger tail or worse for the shorter length? Let's suppose same volume and sail size.Thanks

This is all very interesting mate: smaller sail, smaller front wing, 6 mt/second wind speed....I'd rather talk "knots" normally and would like to know how you did measure that....by anemo-meter or just "nosemeter"? Anyway this seems to be a "miracle" and wuite easy, doesn't it? The real question is what is your weigjt and how long you have been practicing windsurf foiling? Without these two answers, small sails small wing....small wind means nothing to me.

Hi Stefan, i am working on the same issue too. At the moment I have reached 28,5kn Toppspeed with the 800 Frontwing from Starboard on the 115 Plus Fuselage with the -1.5 Degree Shim on the 255-2 backwing. My Sail was a 7.0qm Severe M3. My Board is the same as yours. Last times I switched to the smaller Frontwing 650. I pushed really hard, but I didn't reach higher speeds. I think I have to switch to a smaller Fuselage (95, 105) and less Backwing angle (-2)and maybe a smaller backwing. At the Moment I hook out in the strongest gusts because I have not 100% control in the gusts. I think I have to stay hooked in and really sit down in the harness to get more speed. But in gusty conditions this is really hard on the edge. I think that more downhaul like in Slalomsurfing works great for more speed, like in Windsurfing too. Sailtrim and Mastfoot position is very important for me. I always place the Mastfoot way to far in the front for the first speed rides and reduce it step by step till I find a sweet spot. Then I try to ride foil nearly in a slalom position, but more sitting to press the foil down. For me this works and I hope I reach the 30knots soon. But you will need 20+ knots for this.

Can you please comment on the length of the fuse. The longest I have is a 70cm. I am an advanced windsurfer, and have been foiling with kite and wings for a couple of years. Do I need a longer fuse (more than 70 cm) if the purpose of my windfoiling will be upstanding cruising manouvers and downwinds??? I am not interested in speeding upwind or racing!

Nice what foil are you using?

Awesome videos. I’m looking for a small high wind (20kts+) Severne sail for use with Starboard X145 and Severne redwing foil on a large lake with good size wind swell. Would you go Blade, S1 or Freek and what size?

Gear? Slingshot?

Nice looking sail what size?

Nice looking sail what size?

Duck jibes, jumps and a crash: Excellent footage.

That take passion and commitment! Great Riding!

Flottes Teil, ich habe mir das gleiche Board gekauft und bin gespannt.

Yesterday I was thinking that It was too cold for foiling in Alicante Spain in January🤣🤣🤣.Big respect

Its a SABFOIL 799 freestyle foil
