Wing Foil board design- Blue Planet Wing Master introduction

[@TylerHolowell]

So psyched for my wing master to arrive!!!! The design is so sick I can’t wait to rip on it 🤩🤩🤩

[@blueplanetsurf]

Stoked! Thank you for joining the live show Tyler! 👍😎💪🤙🏼

[@jeroenjansen2709]

Clever design. It makes a lot of sense.

The boards look awesome and indestructible. I personally prefer a handle in the bottom and it would be nice if it was symetrical to the handle in the top (but I guess that impacts on strength). Hence, I think the handle would be a nice to have option, especially if you need to carry it further due to local break conditions. But, since it is short and light it may be ok to just lug it over the shoulder with board behind and foil in front - food for thought! Love the insert for the GoPro mount - well done on that one!

[@blueplanetsurf]

The handle on the bottom is usually balanced with the foil attached to board, so further back than the deck handle which is in center. I’m hoping to get more feedback before adding a bottom handle to all boards if the majority of customers would like to have it. Thank you for the feedback.

[@GrantJ]

@@blueplanetsurf I second the handle in the bottom, often I have to walk a bit in windy conditions and having the handle in the bottom really helps keep the foil and board upwind away from your wing when carrying.

[@Lucky-uk1bv]

@@blueplanetsurf When walking thru shore breaks on the path to deeper water it makes sense to have the handle on a WING board more centred on the bottom. That way when the wave hits the board (side on, and closest to shore) it is easier to hold. I do similar with my kite board but no problem there because can wrap arm around it...

[@blueplanetsurf]

@@Lucky-uk1bv Thank you for the feedback, I am used to carrying the board with the wing held against the deck handle but will test a board with bottom handle to see if we want to implement that.

[@Lucky-uk1bv]

@@blueplanetsurf The handle in the bottom always seems too far back on other Brands. I went to a demo day and I noticed many people carrying the boards with the bottom handle and almost dragging the noses of the boards on the ground, difficult not too. It was also GOOD to see a "Blue Planet" board on that day here in Newcastle Australia....

[@40hills1]

Very nice! I love the innovative design.

[@danielboatman5526]

Daaaang. Just moved from an Easy Foiler to a Carver. Gotta keep progressing.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you for the support Daniel 🙏. That is a good progression. One step at a time 🤙🏼

[@shen7256]

I've been pulling my hair out over what board to buy, not any more. 4.10 in Teal please! Something so desirable about this board, not only do I want one, I need one!

[@blueplanetsurf]

Oh yeah, as the designer I love to hear that! You will love it! 🤙🏼

[@noohohno]

Looks & sounds like a good design & build quality. Your price point is competitive with the "big" makers. I'll take a little extra weight for the added strength, durability, and insert option. Aesthetically the shape and graphics are personally appealing. Another plus. Assuming worst case situation. No wind or mechanical requiring you to paddle home. How does the board paddle relative to your Carver model? Not (yet) a wing foiler. Wind(surf) foiler. From that perspective I agree with the nose & rail profile. Board used is similar to your design. Convex nose profile with round rails running back transitioning to "trad" rails. Instead of biting it you splash and spray on the unintended touch downs. Length? JMHO, shorter is better. Length not needed when up on a foil. Not really needed to develop momentum. Just proper foil for the conditions and sail pumping technique.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thanks for the comment. The wing master paddles well if you drift off or the wind dies. We actually have a customer who bought one as a prone board. For learning to wing foil we do recommend a bigger board at least for the first few times. 🤙🏼

[@noohohno]

@@blueplanetsurf Thanks for the reply.We ride frontals. Some days the wind drops too quickly. 60kg never have winged, able to ride a foil on a windsurfing board. Would the 105L board be ok for learning on? Are the Wing Master boards shipped from airport to airport or is shipping available directly to residence?

[@eirikbckmann9008]

Nice board! I have a deep tuttle foil head with angled screws. Is it possible for you to modify the screw holes in the board's foil strongbox to fit the foil head screw holes, so I don't have to modify the screw holes in the foil head?

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, see bottom of this page for details: www.blueplanetsurf.com/foil-strongbox.html

[@mindhoc]

Beautifully board ... I feel I want one already. I would definitely love the bottom handle. Are you planning to make any around 120 lt?

[@blueplanetsurf]

We have the 5’8 Carver Foilboard with 114L: www.blueplanetsurf.com/58-x-275-x-114l-carver-foil-sup-2020.html

[@AdamsHadEnough]

Nice shape!

[@blueplanetsurf]

[@Nem0_MaNu]

Hi Robert, I looking for a ideal shape a foil-surf-board between 4‘3 and 4‘7 length and a wide of around 1‘8. It would be about 0‘2 thick. I use Indiana 1100P and have 75kg. So this should work. What do you think??

[@blueplanetsurf]

Sorry, I have not tried the Indiana boards so can’t give you an opinion, maybe ask Gunnar Biniash for advice on those.

[@Nem0_MaNu]

@@blueplanetsurf Good idea, thanks. But the 1100P is not the board. It’s the foil! 😊

[@layerlapse7645]

I got the board but how do I carry it with handle using only 1 hand since wing is in my other hand?

[@blueplanetsurf]

Just hold the wing and board handle in the same hand. This question keeps coming up so I’ll make a video about it. This video shows it at 5:45 kzbin.info/www/bejne/on-xkIODgN6eY6M

Hi, do you have a distributor in the UK?

[@blueplanetsurf]

No, not at this time but we can ship to you, for details: www.blueplanetsurf.com/service/shipping/

[@GrantJ]

Do you guys ship these boards to new Zealand? Cheers

[@blueplanetsurf]

We have a distributor in New Zealand, please contact: [e-mail]

[@GrantJ]

Ok thanks

[@layerlapse7645]

When can I fly out there for lessons?

[@blueplanetsurf]

You can now visit Hawaii without quarantine with a pre test. We don’t offer lessons but here are the instructors we recommend: www.blueplanetsurf.com/blogs/news/learn-to-sup-foil-in-hawaii/

[@blueplanetsurf]

Greg Matson and Jeff Chang both offer wing foil lessons

[@tyvain]

Hello, what is the weight of the 78L?

[@blueplanetsurf]

14 lbs

[@Galaxiano]

Hi, is it a Deep Tuttle Box ?

[@blueplanetsurf]

Yes, it’s a straight deep Tuttle as found on GoFoil and Blue Planet foils. If your foil has angled screws you may need to modify the screw holes. For more information scroll to the bottom of this page: www.blueplanetsurf.com/foil-strongbox.html

[@widmarkeloo6812]

A handle on the bottom would have been a deal breaker.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Sorry I’m not clear, are you saying you want the bottom handle or not?

[@widmarkeloo6812]

Yes bottom handle would have made it much easier to carry board and foil pointing up wind with wing surfer flying down wind. All though it is a nice design

[@ypure3859]

I need one in Jamaica 🇯🇲..but customs will crucify me$$$$

[@Coach_Rolando]

Hello Robert... thank you for all you videos... I learned how to foil by watching your videos... but in another related note... what is the harness that you use to do your videos with you GoPro 360??? If you carry them on your shop please send me the link or wherever I could find them... I really appreciate if you could help me on finding them. Be safe and keep up the good work brother ... thank you fir all you do.

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thanks for the comment, stoked to hear that. This video shows the back mount setup I use: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHTPZGawbN97hq8. This is a homemade version but there is a pro version you can buy here: www.k4fins.com/product-category/gopro-harness-mounts/
