How to wingfoil! Part 1 - WING CONTROL

[@raghuram2815]

You are the best wing foil teacher. There are hundreds of videos out there teaching wing foiling, but such amazing tips you have. And the strange part is ..they all seem so simple after listening to you, but shocked to realize that something that basic didn't even occur to us. Especially the very beginning ones about holding the wing up and using back hand, and even the very beginning one about how to hold with one hand when letting the wing flap.

Perfect beginner tutorial I’ve seen so far! Very, very useful tips! Great! Thank you very much! 👍👍👍

[@leto131]

Certainly the best advices for beginners I saw since I begin wingfoil.

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

[@dirkwessner1895]

Splendid! Really the best wing control tutorial I have seen on youtube 👍🏻

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Thank you! I am glad it helped! :)

[@dimitrimendrinos2049]

Probably the best wing control tutorial on youtube. Very informative. Thank you.

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Thank you for the kind words! :)

[@wimkraatz5800]

just my thoughts too

[@flyingfootage]

This video is a game changer it’s so simple I can’t believe I didn’t see that myself ,and I have been doing wing foiling for a couple of years with various success ,thanks very much for sharing. Big thumbs up from here 👍🙏

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Thank you! Its always the little tips and tricks that make the magic happen! :)

[@leeedwards4068]

Best beginner tutorial I've seen so far and really useful for windsurfers coming to wing foiling with loads of tips.. Watched the second video too, and I've done all the mistakes you mentioned 😄. I'm going to be much better prepared for my next attempts, thank you!

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Glad it could help! The mistakes I mention are made by nearly everyone so no worries! Next time you will do great I am sure!

[@woodwardsimes1864]

It’s been difficult to go from Expert Windsurfer to not able to stand up on my wing board! Much more difficult than I expected!

[@robcottrell6370]

Thanks , very helpful video.The only thing I couldn’t get was the 45 deg hand position, you mentioned, for the stance, relative to your body, board and wind.

[@nicolasboudet9302]

I’m just starting and after 2 struggling sessions I realized that your explanations were exactly what I need to make early progress and stop plenty of mistakes ! I thought that I understood the wing control with just some handling on a free field but it was a big error ! I didn’t see any of the good tips you showed us! I am sure that next session will be far easier now ! Thanks a lot! 😎

[@mangosail2750]

So obvious when you show it, thank you

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Your welcome! Glad i could help

[@laurencesapille615]

very accurate tutorials, and some advices that I didn't se until now (the wing toward the wind, before back handling, elbow locked inwards, front hand near the leading edge, ...) So keep going with such tutorials, it's really excellent

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Thank you! Will make more soon.. stay posted :)

[@kivexa69]

Woow fantastic teacher . Great explanation

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Thank you very much! Hope it helped :)

[@michaelhuber9505]

Thank you, man! You're the first toob video I came across that makes sense for a beginner like me. Awesome details, but also great general, easy to remember pointers for next time out on the water. Thanks!

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

I am glad I could help! Keep at it and you will progress fast

[@yuen-lichan2571]

Very useful explanation. Initially the video is a bit long so i just skimmed through it. But as i was practicing, i remembered certain parts. Second time viewing, I listened carefully and memorized everything he was saying. Eureka! Thanks for the through explanation!

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Haha sounds pretty classic. No one wants to sit and listen to the boring theory but it definitely helps a lot! I hope you will progress faster now and that I was able to help! Enjoy!

[@yuen-lichan2571]

@@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind keep going with the longer videos! Thanks

[@andreatopcat8180]

Very complete wing tutorial ! Excellent! Thx!

[@JohnatasMontezuma]

Best online instructor. Where are you based?

[@vhb4302]

Great instruction video ! Thanks

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Hope it helps! :D

[@pilarn3347]

The BEST! Thankyou!

[@nicolasboudet9302]

I can see that your both hands are facing us! In windsurfing the front hand is most time reversed to grab the boom (in the opposite direction) . It seems that it will bring the front arm a bit more firmly in the described position and lock it a bit more ! Is it acceptable or is it better to keep the hand position as shown??? 😇

[@pete3036]

Great video.. thanks

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

I am glad you liked it!

[@mindofown]

excellent

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it

[@JohnatasMontezuma]

So arms at 45 degrees front and 45 degrees tilted?

[@maximuspareo]

Good teacher. Please tell me : 2.5 wing from decathlon is good for begginer. I already have sup with middle fin (for wind surf sup) also from decathlon. Thanks.

[@kyriakosgiakoumaroswingandwind]

Hey! Thank you! Decathlon wings are not very good to start with. But anyway a 2.5 wing is a very small wing unless you are a small woman or child in a very windy place. For most people the average wing is a 5m².

[@maximuspareo]

Apreciate your answer.
