My First 2 Years of Wingfoiling - A Journey From Zero to Hero - or close to it.

Wow, endlich der Zusammenschnitt und schön zu sehen, wie alles angefangen hat. Warum habe ich nicht erst deine Videos geschaut. Ich hätte mir soviel Ärger und Zeit gespart. Ich habe auch mit viel zu kleinem Board und Wing angefangen 🫣 Super das du deine Videos teilst! 🤙

@@zeborac yoho, mein Lieber, und vielen Dank 🤗 Ich hatte in den letzten Wochen viel Zeit, aber nicht zum Foilen. Es ist nach Dänemark einiges passiert. Zunächst gehts einem Familienmitglied nicht besonders gut, dann hat unser süsser Hund eine schwere Krankheit usw. der November hat unsere Familie mächtig gekniffen. Naja, man war einfach nicht in der Lage einfach mal alleine rauszufahren. Und hätte ich auch garnicht gewollt. Wenn man gebraucht wird, dann ist man da. Ist ja klar! Nun, die Idee kam mir schon vor Dänemark mit dem Video, dass ich mal die letzten 2 Jahre Revue passieren lasse und die Highlights und "Learnings" mit euch teile 🤗 Da die wenigsten den langen Atem haben, sich alle Videos in meiner Wingfoiling Progress Playlist anzugucken - sind ja auch stellenweise etwas langatmig und öde... Jedenfalls find ich deine Videos auch immer erfrischend authentisch und dass es trotz dem gemeinsamen Themas auch mal anders und drumherum geredet wird 🤗 Top gut!

Absolutely amazing a very big thumbs up from here 👍👍👍 . This is almost like looking at myself in the mirror 👍🏄🏼‍♂️ so inspiring

[@PeterGogolin]

@@flyingfootage cheers buddy 🤗 much appreciated. well, what can I say. I started watching your channel BEFORE I went into Wingfoiling. YOU were MY inspiration. I stumbled over your channel and started to follow your stuff being super excited how you progress 🤗

[@flyingfootage]

@ am honored, but I think the surfboard has turned, now you inspire me.🙏🏄🏼‍♂️😊

Cool video Peter, that must have taken you a while to make but great to watch you progress. I look forward to riding with you one day 😊

[@PeterGogolin]

@@knowlsey204 thank you 🤗 much appreciated. After Denmark we had a lot of things that hindered me to go out and foil. Family business, own health issues asf. But in the end it was a good year. I mean none has done more hours than you on the water 😁

[@PeterGogolin]

I had a lot of time after Denmark. And I found it a good idea to summarise my progress. Its a pity I had not all footage anymore and was forced to use my own rendered videos... anyway

Yep, awesome vid with great editing! The only change I'd make is the opening evolution graphic - culminating in winDsurfing, but apart from that... great work! (If/when you come to UK, be sure to come by Portland👍🍺)

[@PeterGogolin]

​@@DILLIGAF-e4r cheers mate 😊 be sure to see me around when entering England 😅

Why did you quit windsurfing?

[@PeterGogolin]

yes, this is a quite good question. I was so into it when starting with 12yo. I was greedy to go whenever I could, and with the driving license the opportunities became bigger. At some point we were like only two people going together and in between sometimes ten or more. When starting my studies for programming at college all these freindships became problematic. Wifes, houses, work, children, new towns the whole spectrum of coming of age hit our community hard. These were the days before internet and social media to come together easily. I think this was one of the main point why I quit. Sold my last two boards and five sails for a short of money to some guy, and thought: "this is it. I am done with it"... Being alone wind surfing didnt satisfy me and Kiting came up what I really found stupid... So, skipped many years, went into photography and playing guitar in a metal band... and now I am back :D Twenty years later and high on Wingfoiling!

Cut your leg through your wetsuit?

[@PeterGogolin]

jupp, it cut through the fabrics of my 5mm neoprene. Had to fix it with glue.
