HYDROFOILS | How they work | The basics

[@chrispewkreme]

I’ll share my experience recently. I went to check the surf and my neighbor said it wasn’t even worth bringing a surfboard. Not even a sup. And I looked at it and knew the foil would be possible. I prone surf foil, and all you need is a bump big enough to paddle into and get a little speed. As soon as you’re up out of the water, you can ride a 1 foot swell that barely even shows up on camera. Always love the information Damien! Looking into getting a board around 40L and making wing work with it.

If you prone foil! I am telling you add the wing for the windy days and its another level.... Have a great weekend.

Damo Fantastic content, watching from Sydney Australia. Absolutely loving the videos. Just beginning to wing foil. I have been following your advice on the videos. Starting with holding wing on the beach, paddle board with wing, foil board on knees, it was n by blowing 25kn went from knees to standing then the foil gave me lift 😄

Hello from Florida! Glad you are getting something out of our videos that is the goal, just trying to help others! So exciting you are getting LIFT. It is an incredible feeling!

Whoever invented this is a genius

Great video again Damien. Can you compare experience of efoiling to wing foiling or kite with a foil?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Great idea will have to do that! Thank you!

[@JetSurfingNation]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin yes very interesting. you mentioned efoil is a great way to "start" so I assume wing foiling and kite foiling is much harder? I never tried those sports but love efoiling

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

@@JetSurfingNation Yep they are harder to learn for sure! The efoil is the best way to start to learn how to foil!

if I can ride in like 12 knots with my TT and my 13m kite but struggling a bit, how much more would foiling expand my range?

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

When you get efficient at it friend! You can ride in about 4-7mph on a foil! :) It is a game changer. I would say it will open up a new world! The 4-7mph for sure is a pro rider so take it with a grain of salt! Not saying that can't be you! Not to mention you can ride your TT and 13m in 12knots but are you powered? On a foil you are powered up having fun!

[@mateojimenez5905]

@@DamienLeroyKZbin Thank you! yep 12 knots was the lowest I've ever done and it was a big struggle, I might look into foiling now.

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

@@mateojimenez5905 You will love it! don't wait......

[@loveathx]

Still unclear to me what is powering this? I don’t think you explained that….??

[@TeslaEVolution]

Great. However, can you explain the different boards please? A few are very thin and some are very thick, are the called different things, what are they different uses and prices? Are the "fat ones" inflatable?

Good one! thanks for the good job always

[@DamienLeroyYouTube]

Thank you so much!
