Ridiculous Clown on water : Wing Foil newbie.

I have seen so many skillful Wing Foilers on KZbin, so I decided to show you guys the quite opposite no skills at all.
On this particuler day there was no wind at all, but I had to go out and try my new Gong Galaxy board.
Gear
Gong sup inflatable Hipe size 6.0 - 160 L

Not ridiculous at all, just learning and trying with no wind. Courageous old man!

[@Rocklighting1]

At least he's not sitting on couch! Great job getting out on the water.

[@flyingfootage]

we all have to start somewhere somehow 💪🏻🏄🏼‍♂️

[@CoastalBird]

Hahaha not bad, I think you did well for the first time 👍

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks mate 🙏🏄🏼‍♂️

[@ohcuriouspat]

Yes, great equipment, great skill, and lots of energy. Add in 15-20mph of wind and you are there!

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for spending time watching and answer , I really appreciate it.

[@nigel2407]

Fair play for giving it a go, you lasted longer than I would of. Wait for the wind and go at it with that amount of enthusiasm and you will be surprised at how quickly you progress.

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for the inspiring encouragement 🙏🏄🏼‍♂️

[@Streetsailing]

Well, now there is proof. You need wind to wing foil. Good exercise though.

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for spending time watching and answer , I really appreciate it.

[@jip2971]

I'm also starting out, in France, all my friends who are already good enough tell me not to tire of training when there is no wind, you need at least 15 knots to gain enough speed and take off and also the wing is held by the wind, it tires the shoulders less

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for spending time watching and answer , I really appreciate it. 🙏

[@youdigsurf]

i can confirm but it gear dependant too, if you have cash to buy a big wing for lightwind for exemple.

[@flyingfootage]

I have cash but I think I will wait until next year, The season is coming to an end.

[@youdigsurf]

@@flyingfootage season 2022 gear already here on some brand

[@flyingfootage]

I am thinking about buying the Nova. What vill you recommend ?

[@FabriceBLR]

That was pretty decent! Very bold to go on the water with almost no wind

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks mate. 🙏🏄🏼‍♂️

[@mikeb1039]

No skill? You stood up with the wing on a 150l board with no wind. That's not nothing. ;) I'm 65 and just trying (again) to wing foil after spendng last 2 summers E foiling on a Lift Efoil. Now time to learn the wing! :)

[@flyingfootage]

Thank you and thank you for watching, and good luck to you I hope you succeed. 🙏🏄🏼‍♂️

[@1972marcosalamon]

That’s me😂😂😂🤛

[@flyingfootage]

We all have to start somewhere I started below the basement 🤣

[@keyWestLegalRum]

Keep at it! How much wind was there? Do you have the mast all the way forward? Might help .

[@flyingfootage]

Thank you very much for your quick answer, there was literally no wind at all, but I had to try out my new board.

[@keyWestLegalRum]

@@flyingfootage yeah it’s a lot of fun and wind helps in the beginning. It’s helps making circles with the wing as you pump to get up, now I go in 11-12 mph…wind helps. Enjoy!

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks I will do that 🙏

[@williamlile3225]

Nobody can foil in glassy conditions. All vehicles need some source of power. Your vehicle needs wind with supplementation with pumping to get up. You are making a brave attempt to water ski behind a ski boat that has no gasoline in the tank. You are mastering the basics of balance and wing control. All you need is the wind and you will do well. Another great option would be practicing with your board and foil behind a small powerboat or even a jet ski.

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for spending time watching and answer , I really appreciate it. 🙏

[@diegoortizrodriguez4637]

Learning is sometimes hard. laughing at someone who is learning is gratuitous and stupid. He who learns has to enjoy and laugh at newbie things but above all laugh at those who see him as a clown, he does not deserve any respect.

[@flyingfootage]

@@diegoortizrodriguez4637 Does it make a different if I tell you that the Clown on the water is me I am just describing how I was feeling that day on the water. 😊

[@flyingfootage]

@@diegoortizrodriguez4637 by the way I do agree with you ,should not be laughing but cheering. laughing at yourself is something else.🏄🏼‍♂️

[@jacoporomei]

Newbie here and joining your effort.

[@flyingfootage]

Thank you very much, it took me four season to be able to Foil, I guess I’m a slow learner 😄, I wish you good luck. 👍🏄🏼‍♂️

[@ingotaraske6996]

It’s good practice for assembly. When the wind comes at least you can save time.

[@flyingfootage]

Yes you’re right, Bad condition can be good condition.🙏🏄🏼‍♂️

[@yesmate24460]

How are you progressing now ? I'm thinking of putting myself through the ringer learning winging at nearly 70 ! If my knees will take it 😂

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for watching, appreciate it. to answer your question, yes my skills have improved a lot, but I still need to learn to stay on Foil. I also have a sore knee once in a while, but is not a big problem, if you have enough wind the wing will lift you up. happy new year. 🍾🏄🏼‍♂️

[@yesmate24460]

Good stuff 😊 I've been wind foiling for few years now and pretty proficient in most sea state and wind strength. I like the idea of carrying less kit about and the ease from car to sea ! What's held me back from trying winging is a damaged knee(two operations years ago) but I'm tempted to give it a go. I'll keep you posted

[@christophecazin1213]

You’re not ridiculous. Wing foil is very difficult compared to foil in kite 😊 Don’t give up 😊

[@flyingfootage]

Two years ago I saw some thing on KZbin and I was thinking to myself wow that looks cool and easy, boy, was I wrong. now I’m finally starting to get the hang of it. 😊

I want to try. Your video is a good inspiration

[@flyingfootage]

Thanks for watching I appreciate it 🙏. Go for it ,you might have a lot of frustrating Time on the water, bot in the end the reward is so big, and you will end up having a lot of fun time on the water. 🏄🏼‍♂️😃

[@frebo8921]

Pourquoi se fatiguer inutilement quand les bonnes conditions ne sont pas réunies ? Sois patient et checke plutôt des vidéos d'apprentissage sur KZbin pour gagner du temps quand le vent sera là.

[@flyingfootage]

I have learned a lot since then

[@frebo8921]

@@flyingfootage ok I'm happy for you😉 . For me, I begin to learn this summer.

[@MachielSpruit1972]

I like the title. spare yourself the energy from going out on the water with zero wind. you might get annoyed :-) good luck on the next attempt

[@flyingfootage]

Thank you. I receive the surfboard and then I waited and waited and waited for good weather Until I couldn’t wait any longer I had to go out wind or no wind. 🏄🏼‍♂️

[@flyingfootage]

Thank you ,I’m glad you liked it 🙏🏄🏼‍♂️ . Be careful if you are getting hooked like me, your bank book will be empty before you know it 🤣🏄. Anyway good luck on the water, I am sure you’ll have a lot of fun 😎👍.

[@HandyCapito]

Hi, I bought the same wing Aztron 5m for 200€ (sold out), to training first on the SUP board, but I noticed there is no lift to expect from that sail, because I am 90 kg, so I bought a 6.2 Ensis Score, again sold out, and of course there is a big difference. Foil I have a XXL Gong, 2200, you have 2500, so I wish you all the best and tell us …

[@flyingfootage]

I no longer use that Azstron wing, as you said it’s useless. I now use F-one 6m, i’m extremely happy about that wing.

[@flyingfootage]

Considering buying F-One 8m .

[@HandyCapito]

Before you buy the 8m sail, I want to share with you the advice of an experienced foiler. I am just an heavy, but experienced WINDSURFER and I continue to think following my experience: less wind= bigger sail. But I am only a beginner in Wingfoil and the expert says, a too big Wing will touch easily the water, is more difficult to move and it seems, the adequate foil (you have a 2500cm2) and a board who take off easily are more important than a bigger Wing, combined with the experience…. But it’s very frustrating to wait for enough wind.

[@flyingfootage]

@@HandyCapito thanks for the advice I will take that into my consideration🙏🏄🏼‍♂️👍

[@mussman3000]

all you need is some wind !!!!!

[@flyingfootage]

Yes wind is the key 🏄🏼‍♂️

[@benbhand]

You did much better than my first day on my Gong HIPE, in which I had wind but never even got standing up (it's only an 85L, though)! As the others have stated, go out again when you have some wind and it just becomes that much easier. If it's one thing I learned from practicing the wing on a landboard and now out on the water, if there's not enough wind to even fly your wing from a static position, don't even bother. Save the gas, your energy, and do something productive lol

[@flyingfootage]

thanks for your interest and your comments 🙏🙏👍

[@benbhand]

@@flyingfootage Keep posting and updating us on your progress! As a fellow Gong-er, I'm curious to get your thoughts on it. I actually switched to a Fanatic Sky Air at about the same volume as yours, which has made a huge difference (one less thing to worry about) but am keeping my HIPE 5'1 for when/if I'm able to finally get on foil consistently and progress!

[@benbhand]

@@flyingfootage Get some wind and keep at it--the clown will get the last laugh!!

[@flyingfootage]

well a funny thing occurred in Denmark no wind for 21 days straight, I guess climate change finally kicked in. but I will post just as soon the wind comes back. 😎🙄🏄🏼‍♂️

[@flyingfootage]

funny you should say that, I was thinking about buying the exact same board.
