Mental Run !! Did you know Lobster Island is a right hand Slab wave ! Excellent in the right swell, used to surf it back in the day. I now wing/surf foil in the Irish Sea, Cumbria, UK. I hope to one day ditch the sail for just the paddle downwinding " The Holy Grail". Use blokes are awesome & an inspiration 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙 5 Chakra Run

Oh no way! Even paddling out we thought there must be some surf opportunities around there. With the rate gear is progressing for DW you’ll be ditching the paddle with ease soon enough. The journey into it is getting less and less frustrating 😂

Hello, I'm curious, I know you love the 80-85cm mast for waves / pumping. I was wondering if you still preferred the 82 over the 75 for flatwater pumping / dockstart.
@OskarJohansson1 Жыл бұрын
I actually never rode the 75cm but I think I would still go for the 82 as an allrounder... unless you really want a second dedicated pumping mast then I am sure hte 75 will be easier to keep going!

@OskarJohansson1 Жыл бұрын
Stoked to share this wild adventure! I knew we were going to have strong wings so my goal was to ride something that could still go slow and cruise with the small bumps, but then still be able to drop into those bigger swells and ride fast. That’s why I went with the 1125 for the slower waves, but then added a red shim (1 degree) to the tail to give it more top end speed and glide.

Epic, only the moon is the limit for you!! I am your weight using the 725 925 cf950 and ma800 surfing waves....I want to stay longer on foil but still have fun on the waves. Which one would you recommend between the 1325 (used for your record I think) and MA1225???I don’t really like big foils for surfing but really want to stay longer on foil
@OskarJohansson1 Жыл бұрын
Haha who knows the limit of this sport, just stoked to be involved!! I would go for the MA1225 at your weight. The 1325 will give you more pump and have more lift, but it won’t be as easy to control on the wave. The MA foils are much better for riding waves but still offer good pumping. I use the MA1000 a fair bit on small days, but I think the 1225 will give you that extra pump while still being able to turn and surf the wave. The MA1225 is similar in lift to the HA1125 and HS1550V2 for comparison.
@TylerHolowell Жыл бұрын
Hey Oskar your a legend! What Armstrong front wing would you suggest for flat water paddle ups?
@OskarJohansson1 Жыл бұрын
For flat water paddle ups as you are learning the biggest slowest foil is the easiest. I started on the HS1850 and that was really easy, but the CF2050V2 would also be a good one. But if you want something that is easy to paddle up and can still be ridden DW then the MA's are for sure the go. They wont be as easy as the big CFv2 or HS wings, but they will be way more fun to ride DW.

hey so how do you mount the insta 360 onto your paddle? If you do a normal paddle mount would mean the paddle shaft is 90 degrees to the paddle but I see your paddle is erased in post. How you do that?

It was such an epic send, what an adventure. My longest run was probably 30ish Km. My usual runs of 25km though I could stay at a very low heart rate and effort so I know something for this long was possible.
@Stefan-Foil Жыл бұрын
Like the way you show your gear choices and reasoning behind each item. Question about wingsize, is it relative your weight, if you would weigh 90kg would you chose a bigger frontwing or still chose the ha925 or ha1125?
@OskarJohansson1 Жыл бұрын
Absolutely. I think each wing size gives sizes up about 10kg. So me at 70kg riding the 925 then you would want the 1325 for the same amount of lift.
@Stefan-Foil Жыл бұрын
@@OskarJohansson1 Thanks for your reply. Been winging and downwinding with a wing catching small bumps on the ha725 and ha925 alot and also have the ha1325. The 1325 is totally another beast, slow and hard to roll in turns. Never heard a lighter rider that said the same about the 925. Maybe most lighter riders are also better skilled foilers? In my experience a 30kg weight difference is maybe one size or a little less. But for winging you make up for the difference with the wing power, more weight is not only dead weight so some extra power also. For pure downwind I think it would be impossible for me to get up on a ha925 but I would never be fast on the ha1325 and cant make it turn. Maybe the MA1225 is a better choice tho?
@OskarJohansson1 Жыл бұрын
@@Stefan-Foil yeah I think the 1225 might be a better choice, but I would wait for the next size up even. In general Armstrong make foils in incriminates that go up by 10kg of rider weight in each wing size. A good example is my mate rides the 1225 when I ride the 800 for winging, but he also needs to use a wind wing that is 1m2 larger to make that work. Obviously there are many other variables, but generally that’s what we work off. I actually learnt to DW on the 1325. It’s not easy to roll, but for DW when you’re learning you’re mostly just going straight and changing direction rather than actually turning so I find the big span wings pretty okay. It does get more fun as you can paddle up the small foils ;)
