Yes indeed! Thank you. As always. If anything in my videos helps you on your journey, that’s fantastic!

Hi, definitely take the bigger as you never know what conditions there will be. I brought 4 and 4,5 and not my 5,5. That was a mistake. Would have wanted the 5,5 on several sessions. So, yes. If you can make space. Take it with you! Have fun and stay safe!

Hi Benedetto, thank you for your kind words. The bigger the better if you have 0 experience. Smaller if you have some Watersports background!

@@wingfoil_mallorca thank you for your support

Hi, in the middle or further up front. You can experiment with it. The idea is to stop the nose of the board to drift down.

Hi, depends a lot on your previous knowledge of Watersports or not? Have you any? Let me know and I can barter answer your question!

Good man. I bet you are mostly alone in off shore. So are we over here. Stay safe! 🤙🤙

Thank youuuu! 🤙🤙

Hi, happy if this gave you some good insights in how it is or if it is something to purchase for you! 🤙

@@wingfoil_mallorca just purchased for dock start but wanted to have a complete review. Thanks !

Thank you! And good luck! 🤙🤙

Ho dimenticato di dire che purtroppo ho acquistato questa vela dopo aver letto la tua recensione, che a questo punto posso senz'altro definire assolutamente non veritiera, sono troppo diverse le sensazioni che ho ricevuto io dalle tue per pensare che tu sei in buona fede sei sicuramente stato pagato dalla ensis per tale falsa recensione! Avverto quindi chiunque di stare alla larga dai tuoi video e soprattutto dal marchio ensis!!

Hi Mikel, I’d advise you to take some classes around where you live and then go directly to buying a wing and get going. I cannot see any advantages going the route around an inflatable windsurf sail. It is not that difficult to get started navigating with the wing on a stable board. Good luck!

I know, and i learned to lower it. What about the content? How much use could you get from it?

Interesting, I’ve thought about it but never tried it. Have you better experiences in strong wind with different pressures? I will have a go at the next session.

Thanks for sharing. Yes, I agree. The wing is very stable and in neutral position, flagging of tacking its super stable. Make handling easier.

Hi Job, it is a surprisingly good wing. Next time we meet, I’ll let you have a go at it.

Hi Michael, I don’t know what conditions you have. But normally you want big gear. For several reasons. You want a big board to be stable on the water so you can learn how to manoeuvre a SUP board or a large foil board with the wing when you start on water. Probably about 30-40l above your weight. If you go too small you won’t get anywhere, it will be too hard. Wing, you want 5m2 or maybe even a 6m2. If you live in a place with good strong winds 15 knots and up, you may go with a smaller wing than 6m2. The large material compensates for the lack of skills in the beginning. Foil, a big one here as well. 2400-2500cm2. If you start big you can quicker get the hang of it and then when you feel like the gear is too big you sell it and get a little smaller gear. So you will step down several steps in size of material until you reach a point where you have material you can master but yet small enough to be fun and easy to ride. And hours and hours. The more times per week you can do it the faster you learn. The shortcut is the big gear. The rest is to get your brain to understand how things work in this fantastic fun sport. If I could…you can! 💪💪

Haha, could be.

Hi Graham, I don’t know where you live and what conditions you have. But normally you want big gear. For several reasons. You want a big board to be stable on the water so you can learn how to manoeuvre a SUP board or a large foil board with the wing when you start on water. Probably about 130-140l. If you go too small you won’t get anywhere, it will be too hard. Wing, you want 6m2 or maybe even a 7m2. If you live in a place with good strong winds 15 knots and up, you may go with a smaller wing than 7m2. The large material compensates for the lack of skills in the beginning. Foil, a big one here as well. 2400-2500cm2. If you start big you can quicker get the hang of it and then when you feel like the gear is too big you sell it and get a little smaller gear.

@@wingfoil_mallorca Thank you

Hi Mark, happy to chip in some tips for your progression. These tips are hard learned during my years wing foiling. Me and Diane made many mistakes 2020 when we started. I thought I would share some good ideas to cut the learning curve. In the end if you have the “right” gear, meaning the right size, and put in the hours you will be a winger! Sooner than later. Keep it up! Cheers. Stay safe! 😎

Thank you. These advice are hard learned and will help you a lot. Don’t make the mistakes I did and you will progress quickly! A few key points. Own your material. Have the right sized material. Practice several times a week and you will be a wing cooler pretty quickly! 😃

You are welcome. If I could do it, you can! Key factors. Own your material. Own the right sized material. Practice several times a week and progress will come quickly. Stay safe!

Yes, that is a such an important lesson for everyone that starts out. To compensate lack of technique with large material until you’ve got the basics right.

Hej, tack Pappasurfen. 🙏🏼 Du är på rätt väg. Ta en kurs och det blir en genväg till att snabbare bli en Wing foiler. Sen kommer du hit till Mallorca och kör med oss. Du kommer att bli frälst! 🤟🤟🤙🤙🤩

Hi, the place most of us ride and hang out is in Can Pastilla. You can also ride in Es Calo at the end of the bay. As far as I know, the whole bay is open for wing foil. But come and have a look and a chat with us in Can Pastilla. 🤙

You are welcome! If this advanced your learning I’m happy. This is why I made the video. And…there are plenty more videos in my channel for your further learning. Stay safe! 🤙

@@wingfoil_mallorca Would be a pleasure to cu saturday in Barcares

Ah, you live here? Weekends are a bit tricky for me because of work. But if the conditions are really good up North I might be considering squeezing in a session before work! 😆

Can Pastilla beach, the northern part of Playa de Palma.

In the next video.

You are welcome. I hope you get up riding faster as this was my goal with this video. Stay safe! 👌

Thanks man! -And these advice really works! 👍👍

Hi, if you mean Portugal, the answer is yes. We flew with TAP.

Hi, yes, your background will definitely be an advantage. However start a few sessions borrowing a big board so you float well to get a grip on handling the wing and how to jibe, go upwind and so on. If you directly start with smaller gear it will take a lot getting used to initially. Well, it depends if you ride in a place with good, strong wind or not is what I mean.

I hear you and this is a part you have to get through by investing more hours and eventually you will figure it out. It is true that the hips and legs control the direction of the board and you use the wing to get more or less “gas” in your rides.

Thanks, glad you found something of value. Blood, sweat and tears behind those recommendations! 😇

Hello, there’s only one airport, so that’s easy. Closest hotels are in Can Pastilla. Which is close or in Playa de Palma with its 5 km long sandy beach. Welcome!

Hi, the froth board in a larger size would be fine for a beginner. It has a pretty simple shape. It’s steady and quite easy to ride. The red one is specially 😊

Thank you. My opinion is, depending on your background of course, start with everything really big to progress fast. I do not suggest 1201 or 1099 for low wind if you do not have a very good level. 999 will be great for fast days! 899 as well. Good luck.

@@wingfoil_mallorca Thank you. I had lots of questions I wanted to add into my comment but then I found answers in other your videos. You described the transitioning to a smaller rear wing and fuselage quite well. Keep going, this is really helpful

@@wingfoil_mallorca What do you think of Skinnies in comparison to the Progressive series? Is it okay to go from a 390 to a 355/55 (or even smaller) for a rider who is working on gybes, in your opinion? I'm considering the 1201 to fill the gap between my large foils: PNG 1150, BSC 970, and Art 999. Not for low wind days, as you said, but for something at 12-15kt (I call it not low :)). Currently my 970 feels too slow in these conditions. I'm not sure though if 1050 could work for me better. It's a very poplar wing but it has the same size as 970. It must be faster, but aren't they in the same league? Maybe 980-930 would work better and 1050 and 1201. It's just so many options...

You're welcome 😊

Yes, for a first learning experience any SUP board is fine. And a center fin makes it even easier. The objective is to learn to navigate with the wing and to be able to concentrate on that you need something stable to stand on. Good luck!

You’re welcome! Noted about the update! Next time you get here you can enjoy Mallorca on water as well. So bring your gear…🤙

Hello Sebastian, thank you. If you have a question, go ahead! 👍

@@wingfoil_mallorca I wanted to ask you because I'm in doubt about how to proceed. I'll tell you briefly, I'm starting out in wingfoil and two months ago I bought a 112 liter reedin board with a 5.2 m sail. I weigh 80 kilos and am 1.80 tall. The problem is that I can't balance to be able to navigate standing up. For this reason I don't know whether to continue insisting on this same board or get a bigger one, I had even thought about a SUP board. Like the time? I never did sailing sports. Only boat and sometimes jet motorcycle

Hi again, you are on the right track thinking you should start with a bigger board. Try a SUP and go out and practice learning to navigate with the wing. You need a steady board so you can concentrate on working with the wing. When you have the skills to go out and back and also jibe in both directions you can go back to your Reedin board. Now your chances to make it have increased lot. However a 5.2” board for a rider with no experience is usually too small to start with. If you can, try/borrow a bigger foil board of 6’-7’ and see how you feel with that one. However you will outgrow such a big board quite fast but many times it is absolutely crucial to start that big. Give this advice a try and come back to me and let me know how you do. Good luck!

Thank you! Hope you cut some corners! It’s all about having more fun time on water!

Thank you. Yes, prices for wings in general has gone up up last years. This wing is priced more or less like other wings in this size. That’s where we are at now with regular wings. Don’t mention the wings with a frame of Aluula. They are over 2000€. Everything has jumped up in price since the Covid hickup!

Thank you very much, happy you got something from the video. There are a lot more videos to watch on the channel. I hope you subscribed to follow along on the journey! Where do you ride?

He weighs 72kg.

@@wingfoil_mallorca 🤣 Yea I where 77kg when I started windsurfing not anymore. 🤣 87 kg today 92.5 kg with gear.

@alfskaar489 Jajaja..that’s what we all struggle with! 👌😂 There are only 2 solutions. Bigger gear or salad for a year or two. Puh!

Thank you! He was using the "short" fuselage. Good point! Probably a bit larger stabiliser could help the slower wings, I think the 1121 rides best with a skinny stab because it is meant to be used in fast conditions. But the 1100, 1401 probably would benefit.

I agree. That is how I usually do it. But many, many lay their board on the side and fasten the leash on the mast and have the wing downwind. Where do you ride?

Hang on and I’ll let him tell you. But as far as I know, I have only seen him with the same paddle last months.

Hi, yes when you are in the water shorter will be better, you have more power and les shoulder efforce. But when you are flying some times i dont touch the water in some strockes, that make me some inestability. We are now testing going with a paddle two pieces and we change the large when we are flying

Also in every country has different power swell, you can see people that when thay are flying not use the paddle again, only pumping with the legs. In my place we use a lot the paddle to keep fly between bumps
