Thanks for sharing Robby!!, it's winter in Argentina, Cordoba, a mediterranean province with beautiful lakes, the weather when it normally blows, but it's been a couple of weeks since we've been in the water and it's quite cold, so I'm also in the home workshop doing maintenance on my motorcycle and I played your video for company, listening and looking out of the corner of my eye, very interesting work, congratulations and enjoy the ride!!!

Good advice. I just used one the other day and was blown how great the angle of attack was with my 8m. I found if Infelt like I was getting close to falling I could disengage even when I was falling, but definitely needed to be aware.

Any clue what what's meant by lightwind? How much windspeed is necessary to get on foil with 3.5? PS: on my lake I barely get over 10kn😢

Hey there is another Time where you may like the Harness even without to much Power that you guys in Hawai do not experience 😂. It is wintertime riding with gloves. You can extend your cold sessions quite a bit with a harness.
@dezeustre3 күн бұрын
Surprised you use an ankle leash. May be an old surfer's habit... I hate having the leash crowd the board and dragging behind the board... Love you Robby! We met so long ago in Tenerife, I was a young star stuck french windsurfer and you were super cool with me!

Excellent advice, thank you! Clearly lays out when a harness is a good idea, plus the cons. For me I like to ride quick but use a small wing and small foil so not in ‘race power’ mode. So I’ll stick to the simplicity of no harness and get a mild arm workout too hehehe

Really impressive no matter what age. Makes it look easy. Those are not just water rounded rocks either. That is new lava rock and it could tear you and your gear to shreds. I have done many watersports including windsurfing for many years and am looking into what it would cost to wingfoil. I just checked and that gear he is using new would run over five thousand dollars new. No wonder he is out there by himself if he is risking losing that gear to the surf and rocks. Honey it's cheap compared to a motorcycle or a jetski!!!

@zytigon5 күн бұрын
Wind foiling can be the answer to the catapult issue. I'm just freeride wind foiling but i don't hook in to harness line from 6.4 m2 or smaller. I hook in while board is on water then unhook at lift off if i hardly needed to pump or unhook before pumping to get on foil. So little pressure in sail that it doesn't take much effort to go unhooked.

This is a great video and explanation! One think I would add is that wetsuits and gloves can impact this decision greatly. We are up north in Washington State and wear 5/4s and gloves throughout the fall and winter which greatly increase the forearm exhaustion (especially if you are using non pre-curved gloves). I totally agree that in boardshorts it feels like you can ride all day but there are plenty of days in the winter where I would have a hard time riding for over 30 min without a harness. Even using a simple wing hook on a waist leash is enough to give your arms a break!

I use a "worker's" belt from Home Depot. Without cushion. And it is ok. I can't imagine who would need a windsurfing harness with steel hook. It is overkill and one can dent a board with it. A foldable plastic hook works the best. So the "toy harness" is perfect.

Love using the harness on the wing! Essential to get the hook up high around the bottom of your sternum. I have tried lots of different set ups and higher up is the most balanced! I have a video on a really useful harness line with a magnetic quick release on my channel too

When I started windsurfing in 1973 in the East Bay, there were no harnesses. My forearms looked like Popeyes arms after an hour of sailing. There were NO storm sails. I would give ANYTHING to have windsurfed with a harness and a storm sail, but when the harnesses came out we all scratched our heads. What is that? Now? Give me a harness!!! 🙂 What YOU do is off the charts. Having my experience, I can't believe the amazing talent you have.

I'm a beginning wing foiler, but your videos have helped me tremendously to get up on foil easily. The skateboard ollie analogy, putting emphasis on pumping the foil and also the wing helped me foil yesterday on a 6 wing when others couldnt on 8's. I was blown away how little wind it took to get up on foil even with my mast back in the track because I'm a beginner. Thank you!

I would just rigg down and get a smaller board and foil and go gliding on the high wind swells instead of windsurfing. Ha ha, windsurfers dont glide for long...
