100% true facts. I would add a couple of common mistakes 4) Not watching Damien`s previous videos 5) Not taking some lessons.

I'm 220 pounds and bought a 125L board. I was crying on my first day. I went up to 140L board and I was sailing around no problem. It's also nice to have a floaty board for self rescue and paddling back in. I also got a 6M and 7M wing.

Great content Gents! On Good Friday we had no fewer than 12 Wingfoilers out at Fort Pierce South Jetty! It's inspiring to watch this sport grow. Reminds of Windsurfing in the 80's. The stoke is so high!

Hey Damien, I love your channel. Great advice! I watch your vids before and after my sessions and you helped me to improve. However, I did not know that Kyle Gass was such an experienced waterman.

nice videos! thanks very much for making them..

I've been hypothesising about an electrically powered hydrofoil, and a bunch of videos like these have been very helpful. Probably gonna be a few more years until manufacturing costs are lower though.

Thanks for all your videos. 12 year kiter here looking into wing foiling. Getting popular here on the Jersey Shore and a friend is now wing foiling. I’m 175 lbs and a 145L board, 5 m wing, and a 1480 foil was suggested. I also kite ski and have been using a Kitewing on ice and snow since the early 2000’s. Plan on taking a new inflatable wing out when there is snow and wind. The inflatable wings are very similar in handling to the Kitewing so hopefully that experience helps with wing handling on the water.

Nice video😊

[@wingdingandi3839]

Awesome tips and so funny greets from the alps

[@Surfnflycom]

All 3 good tips. We get those questions all the time. Probably the 1. Tip would be: ask a wingfoilschool or someone with more experience to help you progress faster and not give up on your dream to wingfoil ;) 🤙🏼
