How to Carry a Wing Foil Board- four different ways to carry the board and wing

[@Bill-in-SF]

The finger indentation on the BOTTOM of the board means perfect sense. Any explanation why a board builder would put the indentation on the TOP side of the board?

Less drag

Robert, do you ever sleep? You’re killing it on content, number of videos per day, and beautiful places to see or dream about foiling some day. Keep it up, but only if you’re getting enough sleep and play time

[@blueplanetsurf]

Thank you. It’s a 30 day challenge posting a new video every day during the month of June. Less than a week left, then it will be back to normal. I am spending way too much time editing this month but still sleeping well thank you 🤙🏼

Good stuff! And that hill is just as steep as it was 20 years ago!

[@blueplanetsurf]

🙏 Yes, going up the hill after a long session is exhausting! 🤙🏼

I am nearly there with staying upwind finally ! but I added a massive foam pad on my buoyancy aid for my walk of shame which happens less and less and it saves my shoulder so much :D Thanks for all the tips !

[@blueplanetsurf]

Great to hear. Yes padding the shoulder actually makes it a quite comfortable way to carry the board for longer distances.

@@blueplanetsurf where do you carry the foam while u are winging if you need to do the upwind walk of shame?

[@blueplanetsurf]

I stick the wing bag with pump, slippas and foam pad in the bushes while I’m winging but I end up at the same place I launch so don’t need to take it with me. 🤔

Great video, thanks for making! I have been learning with my modded 05 formula board with Starboard race foil. It has been "different" to get in and out of the water. Your tips will totally help. 🙂

[@blueplanetsurf]

Sure 👍, carrying all the gear can be challenging!

[@Mickfoil1]

@1:47 I see you are using a waist harness with your retractable leash. I just got your retractable leash with your velcro strap. Do you not use your velcro strap anymore and rather attach it to your harness?

[@blueplanetsurf]

I just slide the wrist loop from the wing leash over the waist leash Velcro belt.

[@Mickfoil1]

@@blueplanetsurf OK THANKS for the reply. What is the harness around your waist then?

[@blueplanetsurf]

The retracting leash belt, the video on the product page shows exactly how I use it.

[@Mickfoil1]

@@blueplanetsurf yes I know the usual velcro belt you use with the retracting leash (I bought it already ) . But I see you are using a kite harness in this video so I am wanting to know how you add your retracting leash to the kite harness

[@blueplanetsurf]

Oh, sorry, yes I’m wearing a harness that the camera pole is attached to. I’m just wearing the Velcro belt over that harness

[@jonathanalstead]

What Axis fuse is that you are using for winging?

[@blueplanetsurf]

I’m using the short black fuselage

[@martinomovies]

How do you get through the surf?

[@blueplanetsurf]

I'll respond to your question on the live show next Wednesday: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qp6Zqmaog7aqY7M

[@rob_pfischner]

This is where the bottom of the board handle is most useful imo. When it’s too shallow to put the foil down in the water, but you have to push through shore break.

[@Chrishr89]

i carry the board on top of my head, holding the foil with one hand in front

[@blueplanetsurf]

Another way to do it. It doesn’t hurt your head?
