Robby Naish: Light wind windsurf foiling

Robby Naish windsurf hydrofoiling in light winds on Maui

I have been using the 5.7 Lift for a year now. I have really enjoyed it. I sail mostly on Lake Lanier above Atlanta and the wind here is not good. I really like how it de-powers and how light it is. I can foil with it for 3 to 4 hours (usually without the harness) and my forearms are fine. Thank you for making a sail that is easy to rig, easy to uphaul and fun to use.

I'm impressed by your ability to articulate the science of your gear

This Video convinced me to try it. No harness, almost no wind, and you fly. sure, with the lack of skill, I need a bigger sails and more effort to pump but i can tell you: it works!

I really wanted to like my Lift 5.7m, but find its lack of battens just brutal to handle on my off foil tacks and gybes. Love the 4.7m I use in heavier winds, though. I noticed your tack technique and might give the 5’7 yet another go

Ok the VW is just mental.

What is the trick to being so steady? I have the setup and I’m always feeling like I’m “right on the edge” of coming off the foil

Time on the water. I did the launch/crash cycle my first summer. Then I got an Infinity 84 wing from Slingshot and that has a raised center that stalls out before breach. Much more stable. That, and I got my balance down.
