Learn To Wing Foil in 10 Minutes

[@Hfgh564]

I had to watch it like 5 times to figure out it was instruction, then I spotted foil. What a beauty!

[@matthewbrook7683]

I couldnt see a foil for a while.

[@vabrial]

Nice explications and visuals ! A lot to say in 10 min but u did it !!

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Really good video. Thanks! The fundamentals are pretty much the same as sailing, with some surfing. Using sailing terminology like sheeting and jibing (gybing) may add some confusion for non sailors. The American Sailing Association calls sheeting in trimming and sheeting out easing. (Technically there's no sheet on a hand held wing. The sheet is the line (rope) that controls the sail clew (back corner) on a sailboat.) That said, understanding the points of sail would seem to benefit all wind sports.

[@MicBergsma]

So awesome, going to try it next week and I live on Maui for 6 years, time to try it!!

[@xPikaZzHD]

Gentlemen, here you are i was searching for you all day long but you never miss.

[@TobyJarvis-gq4wq]

That is the coolest, neatest wing foil intro! Nice work Duotone!

[@WingfoilInstructor]

Reall good explanation 👏

[@glennl70]

Excellent instruction video !

[@jannsander]

Beautifully explained! I never heard of this before but u bet i'll give it a try soon!

[@herbspecht]

Greatest and simplest instruction video I ve seen so far! Thank U Duotone!

[@davidcurious4055]

i just finished the hydrofoil and efoil courses, and now I am on the wind foil course!

[@BitSafe-t4f]

The video helped a lot, thank you! Everything is working flawlessly.

[@ecsyntric]

what an evolution from windsurfing! 90% less hassle and bulk what will be next?

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

indeed exciting to see so many different ways to enjoy the water, who knows what the future holds, never boring!

[@huangjiale5755]

Great quick start

[@mikeb1039]

I'm ready for her to teach me but I think it's going to take more than 10 minutes. Maybe a couple of days. Really nicely done!

[@e_skie2685]

Sooo wind surfing but with out an attached sail. Looks intriguing

[@bmurray2854]

Actually nothing like windsurfing . I did that for 40 years. I have had 6 1hr sessions on the wing and still have not had a successful flight. Problem is u need good wind and flat water to learn

[@kshred3043]

Actually very much like windsurfing in terms of wing control. If you can already feel and react to the wind in a windsurfing sail, then you have a big head start in wind control. One key difference is that you can instantaneously and completely de-power the wing by letting with your back hand and letting it 'flag out'.

[@windsurf03]

@@kshred3043 agreed but the stance is totally different. i can ride the board with the wing; i just can ride on foil.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

@@bmurray2854 The freely moving wing seems like it should be easier, but best to practice how the wing responds on land first.

[@israelmarcus5419]

[@Ma-pz5kl]

very good !

[@Bill-in-SF]

I'm a wingfoiler, and the biggest mistake I made when self-teaching is thinking that I would get up in the light winds that all these videos show. (If it looks like this, don't bother going out!) Otherwise, great video.

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

I am self taught too since the very first wings (2019), struggled even as a former World Cup windsurfer due to having no instructor/anyone to learn from. On the other hand, I taught my daughter and many, many people to wing, within hours in some cases. So a lesson/good advice is most certainly worthwhile, on the other hand, the latest gear does make life a LOT easier than a few years ago.

[@hoppingturtle]

This sport looks so cool! I've always wished I could use my kite and just hold it instead of flying it - In fact, my RRD kite has hand holds and I did try that 10 years ago - it did kinda work, but it was more suited for an emergency self rescue!

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

Give it a try, certainly access easier at many locations than kiting, which of course is also a fun sport too!

[@funkymonk8952]

Looks easy, I’m still struggling to get my board off the water surface. I have managed a few times but most times fail. Not sure if my mast needs to be moved forward more.

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

try moving it forward yes, try to put more weight on your front foot, make sure you have a big enough front wing too.

[@funkymonk8952]

@@duotone.wingfoiling thanks for the reply. I believe the front wing is good it is over 2000. I will try your suggestions

[@motionmanager]

Also focus to keep your weight over the center of the board - don´t lean back towards the wind - this will give you more control when up in the air!

[@noomapollo5389]

In reality it takes longer than 10 minutes to get winging, but any sport looks cool when there's a beautiful girl in a bikini.

[@henryhester1897]

Their 15 minutes is actually one year in foil world reality. 😆

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

hmm, depending on your watersports/windsports background - have seen people up and foiling within minutes, whilst others took weeks/months - generally with the right gear, good instructors and most importantly enough wind, it is possible to learn pretty quickly - but these three things do not always work out! :-)

[@johnbeattie3610]

@@duotone.wingfoilinggreat video but I agree with others, this is a hard sport to master for many. I have several decades surfing but a lack of wind expertise means a steep learning curve. Also getting on foil can take a fair bit of time and winging upwind, tacking etc ain’t effective until you are consistently on foil. Be inspired by the video folks, just do some due diligence with other videos on the true learning experience

[@gillnaga1]

​@duotone.wingfoiling 100% correct...its took me 1 week to ride and jibe both way..but I have 30 years of windsurfing and 5 years of kitefoil..so depend on your past history of wind/water sport

[@cyberfastfred]

As an old windsurfer, it tooks me one week for the first flight and one more to have stablized flight. It was 2 years ago. But now I am still stuck on the jibe.

[@henryhester1897]

I’m still struggling after 13 months and 50+ sessions.

[@hannukallio5987]

Olipas hyvä selkeä opetus. Mukavat hidastukset näyttää mitä tapahtuu milloinkin.

[@hyoungseokham7124]

pleas let me know where it is here, it could be more helpful to planning the travel~ thanks

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

Hi there, this was filmed in the Bahamas, great foiling location! Always check the water depth at potential Wingfoiling locations, some windsurfing or kite centres may only have very shallow water directly in front of the centres.

[@dna9838]

Why would the manufacturers choose torx screws? Surely cross head is a lot better as it only requires a readily available tool rather than specialist

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

fairly simple, because the forces involved on opening/closing the foils properly, makes simply cross head screws loose their head threads pretty quickly/you cannot apply the same force required to tighten foil parts properly when using classic cross or flat head screw drivers. All of our foils are supplied with the necessary tools, also Torx heads are much better when they get older, as you can still use a worn head to open a tight screw. Pretty clear that all manufacturers reached the same conclusion here after a few years.

[@LoanwordEggcorn]

Torx screws are a much better fastener. It's a radiused spine drive.

[@steveturansky9031]

As far as stress on the back, is this easier or harder than windsurfing?

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

Way less stress for the back, the only issue can be shoulders, but this is really in rare cases, when holding the wing up in zero wind/if you have shoulder issues already which do not allow you to hold any kind of weight above chest height...

[@The_Blessed_Cowboy]

We'll just tuck this wrench into our bathing suits now...

'last' and then 'finally'

[@anthonywills2403]

I currently windfoil with a 98cm carbon mast and 95cm fuselage. I have front wings 1200, 920, 720 and 550. For wingfoiling, I'm thinking a 65cm fuselage and either a 1600 or 2000 front wing on the existing mast and 310 or 255 stab. Thoughts?

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

do you have Duotone foils/mast etc? as the fuselage/front wing sizing sounds correct, for winging. I just am not sure if you are asking for advice on our products or in general?

[@anthonywills2403]

@@duotone.wingfoiling just a general question but if you have some recommendations from the Duotone range, it would be appreciated. I'm hoping my wingfoiling learning curve will be short.

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

Ok, Aero Free 1500 and 2000 would be similar to what you describe above, with a 3BS fuselage of 66cm, and a mast of 90cm, Aero Carbon.

[@eSKAone-]

6:16 hey alright

[@obvioustrash7833]

Nice video, but which psycho mounts the tail wing to the fuselage before even mounting the mast or fuse 😂

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

since the screws are on the opposite side of the front wing, this is the best way to do it - otherwise you have to turn the foil on the side/upside down? :-)

[@sawdustcrypto3987]

No interest in wing foiling, but I watched the first 5 minutes like 10 times

[@johnfarrugia7198]

Hello can you tell me how much it cost please thanks

[@skitzer86]

not cheap, so good idea to look for used beginner setups. typically want 2 size wings, say 4m and 6m, for different riding conditions. Maybe around $600-700 each. Same price range for a beginner board. Foils have the largest ranges in price with aluminum being heavier but cheaper than carbon. My coach recommended starting me on a cheaper alloy mast and a size 1480 front wing. All in I'm around $3500-4k plus wetsuit, helmet

[@robp3431]

Screws falling into the sand while attaching the foil......ahhhh

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

even more reason to get a Quick mount...:-)

[@qubit0002]

looks dangerous with all that equipment tethered to body during a crash

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

not really, the only real issues that happen during wingfoiling are falling on the rail of the board if it is turned on it's side, or contact to the foil. With the leashes, most of the time the board will move away from your body during a crash, the wing goes neutral and cannot hurt you - the leashes just make sure you do not lose your gear.

[@BlacksBeachBoogieBurner]

When you jibe from your natural foot position are you then riding "goofy foot" so to speak? Be nice to see a video on jibing actually

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

correct, for winging we call it switch, bit different to surfing as you have the wing on one side of you only, vs a wave breaking on either side. Please check out our free Academy app for loads of tips on gybing and so much more.

[@BlacksBeachBoogieBurner]

​@@duotone.wingfoiling Thanks, watching closely I seem to notice that the guys doing aeriels (sp) might have foot straps attached keeping connected to the board, so maybe never switch, just adjust their position or even "push" with the wing to windward

[@duotone.wingfoiling]

correct, some ride strapless, some ride only on one side using 2 footstraps with the front strap being more centred, even jumping in "switch". A large % of riders using the classic 3 strap system from windsurfing and change sides/straps when turning around.

It's not "downwind" or "upwind", but "leeward" and "windward". "Downwind" and "upwind" refer to the area leeward and area windward from you
