[@SabrinaDacosta]

Great video and great instruction!!

[@darcydejoux3614]

Nice one, yeah I m learning atm ,with the foil back in box there is tons of drag real tiring ,I find it alot easier having it forward plus i am only attempting small waves .

[@telmocurcio]

The best video to know how to starting foil surfing! Thank you for sharing. I was wondering how to get into the waves, if was like a tradicional surfboard or not, and you show it how. Looking forward to see foil boards here in Santa Catarina, Brazil! Thanks bro!

Some good teaching here. Thank you. Very informative. I will be on Lake Ontario at first, and the ocean eventually. I'm hoping that I can "surf" some of our small wind-driven waves!

Great Video! Thanks for all the useful tips. Just starting out Ill be sure to apply them to my situation. Bummer, but I am crippled and will be riding my foil like a bogie board. Any advise would be appreciated. Mahalo C

This was useful. I have used an efoil. Will be using them efoil on the river and surf foil when I get to the sea.

[@AndrewWorkshop]

Nice vid, helpful for sure

Your mic is very good

Sky, It has been too long I have been getting in tone to be a better surfer at 7o this December. I'd like to try foiling behind a jet ski this August in Bemidji MN.

[@aldemirgraselli3253]

How much is the board 🤔

[@alexsandra3962]

Amazing skill....

[@Nannotwinkie]

If you put a mirror on the bar part, it will look like you are hovering over the waters..

Hi, nice video. I just tried kite foiling, it's interesting. What should be first board and foil to enter surf foiling without any experience in pure surfing? For a bit heavy rider, 90kg ;)

[@FabiodeSaldanha]

how big is that front wing? cm2

[@neilsimon6871]

Been surfing 30 years. Eager to try this! What size board is appropriate for a 75 kilo novice foiler?

[@FanaticBoardriding]

Hi there, probably the bigger of the 2 boards, the Sky Wing 4'7" @45L?

Is this on Maui?

[@RAF700]

Cool video bru

[@nyang015]

Ok I just want to know is this good for freshwater lakes which has a lot of sea weeds.

[@FanaticBoardriding]

well for places with sea weed it can be tricky yes, so you may need to find another location?

[@verllydantas4804]

I woudl like to buy this kind of board and foil, but I'm confused when looking up the web site.

[@FanaticBoardriding]

ok, what are you looking for?

[@olivereriksson4787]

Any tips on how to get up behind a pwc or boat on a surf style foil board? My fanatic board has too much volume to wakeboard start bc it either flips backwards or drags the toe edge when getting up. I’m almost up now by laying down flatly my chest, then up on my knees, then soon on my feet

[@FanaticBoardriding]

Hi Oliver sorry for the delay - usually starting on the knees, same as wingfoiling - but it really depends on the size/volume of the board..when on knees, as in wingfoiling, you need to find the exact position to not make the tail go up/nose down...but I guess you tried all that already! :-) good luck!

[@olivereriksson4787]

Thanks so much, can’t wait for the wether to clear up so I can work on my technique

[@olivereriksson4787]

Knee then stand up worked well, especially when going in much slower speeds than last time. Thanks again, I now feel ready to start exploring the foiling magic

[@small-timegarden]

How do you mount on it if you fall in open water with no waves?

[@FanaticBoardriding]

hi there, well the Sky Surf or Surf foiling boards, are not made for open water without waves - so either launching from the beach/Dock start, or in ocean swell or someone with a jets/boat or kiteboarder pulls you up onto the foil if there are no waves...

[@small-timegarden]

@@FanaticBoardriding oh ok. Well look at how I was about to get one and go in the open water and stay there🤣

[@jsilva2375]

Does that kill or hurt sea animals?

[@FanaticBoardriding]

Hi there, very unlikely to have contact with animals in the surf, on the open ocean you have a quite good view of what is below you/in front, so you can avoid pretty much everything. Certainly far better than most boats/watersport crafts.

Trouble is you're leaving a chopped-up trail of marine life in your path so the big sharks can follow you to your final destination

[@Alex-ei6qr]

I'm leaving a trail of chopped up big sharks so there aren't any left to follow me.
